Since it's the Christmas season, and today being Christmas, I've been thinking about the religion I grew up with, Roman Catholic. Whenever I go to church, I see so many people that seem to belong there, while I feel I stick out like a sore thumb. I am always people-watching, wondering what that person's story is or thinking about anything else other than what the priest is talking about. Not the best thing, I know.
People have such a strong faith I wish I could have, but I'm not sure I believe in what is being taught. They put all their faith, hope and love in God, and they seem all the happier and more peaceful for it. What is there secret? I asked someone this once and they said all you have to do is believe and trust - don't question. Once you stop questioning, everything will become clear.
But my question is this: How do you stop questioning and just let things be. It is a truth universally acknowledged that once you stop looking for something, it will shortly find you when you least expect it.
Maybe we all should just "be" and start believing, especially in ourselves. Especially me. Maybe I should take my own advice for once.
