Well, You are all probably wondering why I haven’t been posting a lot lately. And For the Most part I really wish I could go Into detail about Why, unfortunately I can’t. A close friend of mine is going through a very hard time and Has had a number of un-forseen Complications added on top of the current issues. I have been helping as much as I can and it has been filling a lot of my time, But it’s not my place to say who/what/where. I hope you understand. I was also faced with an Interesting occurance this weekend. And So I present you with: The Tao of Steve…. Ok So it’s not so much a Tao but some things I starting really thinking about. I have a friend who is Really sick right now (not the afore mentioned friend, but another one) This person had reached a point in the sickness where the human Body and Mind really are almost to a Breaking Point. At this point They started to Doubt Faith. This person is a very Devout Christian. I was there when the Doubting began to take place. Now, let me Explain a bit here. I am not a Religious Person. Through my life I have seen many Things and read many texts. It is in my Honest Opinion that, Today’s Modern religions are perverted beyond what they were supposed to convey. Man has relied on Faith since the very beginnings of life. Unfortunately, Man also decided to dick it up. This whole “My Gods Better than your god” has Caused Wars, Famine, Disdain, Pain, Resentment, etc. Man has, through time, Changed Religion to meet his needs, This is not any specific religion, This is all of them. It’s the nature of mankind. I am not saying that it’s Wrong to believe in something, Quite the contrary, Faith is one of the most Important Assets of our lives. Without it, there is not much Purpose for us here. I just have a problem with Organized Religion. I believe in a God, It is just not the God that everyone has told me to believe in. The main reason for that? Because another Man(kind) has told me to. So, where is this leading? Getting back to my friend and the situation. I was forced to ask myself, How to I sit by a friend and comfort them while they begin to give up on a Faith that they have believed in for so long, and It’s a faith that I don’t have faith in? It really bothered me to see someone begin to give up like that. Even if I don’t believe in another persons beliefs, they are still the foundation for that Person. Long story made short (I know I know, too Late) My Friend is starting to feel better now, They did not give up on their beliefs, and instead saw it as a test (they passed). It was an Interesting Lesson for me, and Perhaps, my own Personal test.
