Convicto de incertezas

Eu geralmente me afasto, até me intimido, com as pessoas que demonstram um excesso de confiança baseado em um discurso pleno de convicções e certezas. 

Prefiro co-habitar com pessoas seguras de si e com dúvidas saudaveis. Estes estão sempre prontos para descobrir coisas novas e não se limitam a uma vida de visão obtusa. 

Das poucas certezas que tenho, é a de que pouco ou nada é certo. 

Todo conhecimento pode evoluir e toda a convicção pode estagnar. 

“O problema do mundo é que as pessoas inteligentes estão cheias de dúvidas enquanto os estupidos estão cheias de confiança”

Charles Bukowski

Convinced of uncertainties

 I usually shy away, even intimidated, with people who show an excess of confidence based on a speech full of convictions and certainties.

 I prefer to live with people who believe in them selfs and have healthy doubts.  These are always ready to discover new things and are not limited to a obtuse vision life.

 Of the few certainties I have, is that little or nothing is certain.

 All knowledge can evolve and all conviction can stagnate.

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence. 

Charles Bukowski

 RELIGION

Can you imagine a society where people would be encouraged to when in early school, learn throughout one year ten different religions and then choose one.

Probably after that year they would come back and say that they are all very similar, talking of the same values and messages but through different codes and language, reflecting mostly from where they are coming from.

You would understand that religion is actually local culture.  

Every region has its understanding of how society and their members should behave and religion was the way to make it functional. The connection to a divine is the most important one and mostly all say the same, with different symbology. The important message is that there is a common energy that connects us all, beings and all nature, univerasaly, and that we have to respect, celebrate and try to understand it

So if you look carefully, one is born in a society that has its values in civil and cosmic understanding and it-passes through education this values, to the new comer. Its a natural order to build a environment that everybody around you behaves in a common way. Actually belonging to one creed, in the enormous majority, is because you where brought up in a certain society, not a natural choice.

Humans need a sense of identification with there neighbours for comfort and protection. You will be very unhappy or excluded if you go around every day questioning the social rules of your local society, so if the law is so called divine, you will end up obeying without questioning making a more peaceful neighbourhood.

No god tell's anything to anybody about what to drink or eat, or what to dress. That is Man determined rules.

God is a concept of the universal force.

Believing in the concept of God is embracing the idea that there is a cosmic natural chaotic force that made and explains everything, and that we are part of it.

Believing in a religion, is believing the above, even if through different words, and accepting that your behaviour as a social being is dictated by man who wrote the religion and there rules.

 O CAMINHO

O caminho de ida, aventura, o caminho de volta, segurança

Segurança leva.nos à dimensão da confiança e aventura a adrenalinas de sobrevivência

Para pensar e preciso estar quieto

Para sentir é preciso acionar a surpresa

Andar sempre pelo caminho conhecido traz conforto. e isso pode levar a que a mente esteja bloqueada para novos caminhos

Pena se para além do conforto físico sensorial também ficamos no conforto de pouco pensar.
