be a part of good things.

here's a situation for you;

i like eating chicken,
and you like eating veggies,
and we both disagree on it.

i tell you the merits of eating chicken,
you tell me the merits of eating veggies,
and we still disagree on it.

i then tell you negative things about veggies,
and you then tell me negative things back,
and we both start to get angry.

i then proceed to call you names,
and you retaliate with insults of your own,
and we end up hitting each other.

now, if we look at it objectively,
there are merits to both cases,
eating chicken and veggies is a good thing.
i believe in getting nutrition from meat
and you believe green is the best way.

but why are hitting each other then?

this is how religious conflict divides us.
it's just downright crazy to see all this
hatred and violence going on in the world.
people's lives get wrecked, there's sadness
all around the world, and for what?

for not agreeing with our own beliefs?

is it really worth it?
is it really worth winning when all we do
is create even more unhappiness around?

everyone has a fundamental right to believe
and practise whatever religion out there,
it isn't our place to dictate how others
choose to live their lives. however, it IS
our place to educate and spread good. regardless.

be a part of good things. please.
