tsumikFive different topics I wanted to talk about. Hopefully they are of interest to you all.
The first one was about religion. And before you stone me about it...
I find it interesting about religion. Freud I believe said "Religion is just a sedative to the masses to keep them from upheval and being discontent" or something of the sort. It's sort of scary to me to think that there is no higher being or such. It is comforting to thing there is something out there bigger then myself. I don't know but there is. One thing I have noticed and you may not all agree, but even if religion is just a mind sedative the masses have cast upon themselves. I've noticed alot of religion folk being some of the nicest, friendliest, and most trusting people I know. I know there are finatics and holy wars and such but think about it. There is alot of them out there that are sort of how we wish everyone one in the world was. Caring of others, mindful to things, and always willing to give a smile even to strangers. I say even if it's not real, I think it's not just a sedative, but a little bit of glitter for us all.
