[REDACTED] – You’re right to ask this. You are. But I think what underlies the question is more revealing than the question itself.
“If religion or spirituality are part of someone’s personal belief system, how is it reasonable to apply it to the rest of humanity? ”
Fair.
But it goes beyond perspective.
And belief // true belief // doesn’t begin as a concept. It begins as movement.
The deepest beliefs are so intimate, so viscerally embedded in our being, that they don’t fit into language.
They sit in our bones.
They become how we first move // and only then do they become how we see.
It’s subtle, often invisible // but in every act of life, there’s a silent affirmation //
A small act of faith.
I don’t choose to believe the oxygen will enter my lungs when I breathe // it happens. I trust it.
When I break a bone, I believe // somewhere beneath conscious thought // that it will mend, because that’s what the body knows how to do.
When I send this message, I believe the signal will reach you.
And when I wake each morning with the intention to become the person I imagine myself to be… that, too, is an act of belief.
So when you ask why people apply their beliefs outward //
I’d say most of the time, they’re not even aware they’re doing it.
Because belief isn’t just an opinion //
It’s a posture. A leaning. A gravitational pull beneath every gesture.
Your question isn’t just about others.
It’s also a reflection of your own process.
You’re in the middle of sorting what feels true // what you’ve inherited versus what you know, even if you don’t yet have language for it.
But here’s what I’ll offer //
There’s very little left worth refuting once you understand that life itself is nothing short of an unfolding Will-to-Believe.
Just as light expands into the void //
Faith // conscious or not // calls us to act.
You’re already doing it.
In your questions.
In your wrestling.
In your refusal to accept easy answers.
That is belief.
That’s the beginning of something real.
