relative Universalist

Relative Universalist 
What is my philosophy in life?

The only thing that is absolute, 
Is everything is relative. 

The only constant, 
Is change (or growth) 

Doubt is an uncomfortable position, 
But certainty is absurd. - Voltaire 

I wish i could accept everyone's point of view in life without being judgmental or bringing my own biases into my thoughts about that person. But its hard considering how we've all be brought up in a certain way of thinking. 

To be empathetic, showing care and kindness. To try to understand the person's feelings and condition before making an assumption. 

To juat be true and accept that not everyone will like me. Its impossible to be liked by two opposing sides. We either love one and hate the other or love neither. That was what i was thought. 

We cannot love both. 
Can we not? 

Is it really not possible. 
Maybe. 

We have to choose our own path in life. 
Of casue if we had a partner we have to take their views into consideration too. For that is the responsibility and commitment when we made the choice to belong to another. 

Be true to yourself, 
No matter what. 

Travel is good, 
It opens up the mind to different cultures. 

Culture shock. 

Because we never really crawled out of the the rock we hid under all our lives. Our nice little comfort space. Our eco chamber where all views, ideas and opinions are unified in a synchronised consolidation 

Go out into the open. 
Listen to the left and right. 
Be a centralist, neutral at first. 
And then pick the side to stand on. 
It'll be an informed decision. 
And be consistent with it. 

I accept that i might be wrong. 
I acknowledge that i dont have complete knowledge of everything. 
I'm open

Yet i respect, 
First myself
And then others. 

God. 

There comes a choice when we are no longer infants. No longer living under the shelter of of parents, the house and community we were born into. Our lot in life. Our nature and nurture. 

To mature. 

What is growing up, 
What is coming of age? 

Its about making choices. 
Tough hard choices. 
Decisiveness. 
Decisions that will make or break the future. About looking long term. 

Defining who we are in the current moment. By whom we've been in the past

Our decisions along life's journey, 
Will be the test of our character. 

Did we show resilience when tempted to do wrong? Cause harm. Hurt people we love and care about? 

Or did we fight back against the tide. 
Ride it
Flow with it 
Or drown

Fight it. Resist it. But surf it. 
Dont be crushed by it.

Stand on the firm foundation, 
A solid rock. 

God. 

Makes
All things.... Good




Yet life is imperfect. 
Its full of bad stuff. 

God is good
He always is. 

Its not a contradiction. 
Its whom He is, 
And He gave us a choice. 
The freedom to choose. 

A better life
A life for Him and His values. 

Or a free life, free from slavery. 
No. 

Freedom is only truely found in Him.
When we forsake all others. 
For the singular choice we make. 

We cannot have our cake and eat it. 
We cant have everything in this world. 
Or cease ro be anything at all. 

Cease to come to be anything of significance. 

Life. 

Why did God give it to me. 
And you. 

Why did i meet you
Why are you reading this

Why did our paths cross, 
The unseen strings of this infinite web. 
Mingling and intertwining 

Into a beautiful array of... 
Nothingness 
Somethingness

God

We are all one. 
In Him

We are all seperate individuals 

Yet choose 
United by choices

Not against our free will. 

Self control 
The last and hardest part of the fruit of the Spirit. 

Yet with the wise Counsellor, 
The Holy Ghost,
It is obtainable. 

Love, 
Joy.. 
Peace
Patience 
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness 
Gentleness 
and
Self control
