Religion
...in general
It’s interesting how many people seed themselves in religion. I’ve met some people that I NEVER would have guess were extremely religious. The viewpoints I use to have are different now. I see why people go to church and pray. I’m still not religious, but I understand why people are. It’s constant. It’ll always be there. It’s like that cigarette in the middle of work. Life is chaotic, customers are annoying, and other workers are bugging the shit out of you. On your five minute break you are able to slip out of reality and into relaxation with every puff. It is always the same and it’ll always be there for you. It’s the little bit of hope that you need to get through the shift. (Don’t worry Mom and Dad, I haven’t started smoking, but it’s a great analogy.)
Joshi asked us if we wanted to go to church on Sunday. Both
Cole and I, neither of us religious, were very skeptical. With some thought, we
decided to give it a go. YOLO (you only live once)! It was very surprising to
see how laid back everyone was. People were jumping over the pews, everyone was
dressed in this or that, half the people had beanies on, and it was a very
relaxed scene. The service was… well, a service, but the cookies and the
company made up for it! Afterwards everyone chills and talks for half an hour
to an hour. Every person was so friendly and wanted a good, casual
conversation. We’ve continued going, but really only for the people and to hang
out after.

Religion gives people a purpose and it explains the
unexplainable. Even if you have the power within yourself, sometimes you need think
the power in someone else’s hands to be able to retain it. That’s God’s will.
The strength will always be within you, you just have to find it. Don’t take
the bible literal for it is just guidelines to be a better person and to better
your life. Religion helps people see the good in others even when they mess up
every once in awhile.
Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and
capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and if things don’t work
out, just take another shot.
