What Has Many Faces

Humans are a funny bunch.  They feel most comfortable in familiar environments, with others that share similar features and agreeable conditions.  It's because it is safe, and safety comes in numbers.  When you examine our recent ancient history, some six thousand years, you will find one repeatable pattern.
Conflict.
More specifically, conflict in the name of belief.

Therein lies the world's most polarizing and destructive question that shapes OUR planet daily.
Who's/What is your God.
Time and time again, if that answer doesn't coincide with the perceive correct belief...well, that will lead to a fight...

Not unless you let it.
Go on and ask me what I think....?

I'm spiritual without any religion. There, I said it.
To me, God is the eternal and everlasting universal energy that spawned my existance.  I don't have to place a face on it, nor does it have to explain or justify itself to me.
I should feel fortunate enough to experience it, hold no regrets in the process...and appreciate every moment.
Because it goes by fast, and it holds a very fragile presence.
It's meant to teach me everything that I am willing to endure but not necessarily learn.
Along this journey I call life, I get to meet you.
I can make whatever I choose to make of it.
It's my reality, it's my truth.

I don't care if anyone even pays attention, because I am not trying to instill my will, thought or beliefs on anyone.
I believe in free will.
So use it, but don't you dare abuse it.
Life is fleeting, so learn to appreciate it...no persecute it.

That's my two cents, when you only asked me for a penny per thought.  Keep the change, you'll need it.
