Beliefs

Have you ever woken up in the morning, thinking you've got your whole life figured out? You used to have all the answers at your fingertips, and everything at your feet. These are the issues that I used to believe otherwise in, but that I cannot continue believing in now.

1. KL public transport does not suck. I used to think that it was unreliable, but truthfully, it was just me that was being unreliable. Busses do come on time, its just that I do not.

2. Nothing is to blame for anything. I am absolutely in control of what I do. I prefer to blame other things and other people, because it puts me as a victim. I like being a victim because I like sympathy.

3. Doing good onto others will eventually lead others to do good unto you. And vice versa. Yes it pays to do good. At the very least, you feel good about yourself.

4. Friends are not everything. True, the good ones are there when you need them, but really, if I don't make an effort, I am a forgotten man. So, I control my friendships don't I? I just have to continue being there don't I? I guess the next question is until when.

5. Parents are to be cherished. Yes. The older you are, the more you'd appreciate them. Really.

6. Friendships do have an expiry date. Especially if the other side refuses to renew it. However, you can renew for both parties right? Can you?

7. Money is abundant. You just have to know when and where to put it. The concept is revolving credit.

If you think about it, theres nothing that you believe in that we can continue believing in, because they are merely beliefs. Something that we thought to be true, but is not. If it were to be true, it'll have to be a fact. It'll have to be true 100% of the time, no matter where you are. Which brings me to another question. Some scientific facts are only true on earth. So can you still call them facts when they aren't true when you're not on earth anymore? So its merely a scientific belief then. Not a scientific fact. See? Beliefs are so easily disproven. What can we believe in anymore? And what of the biggest belief in the world, the belief in God and Religion?
