I BELIEVE, what about you? meme

Author FemaleJewishBlogger on January 26th, 2009

Here’s the meme. Maybe you’ve heard the “This, I believe” NPR program?

Write twenty sentences starting with, “I believe”. It can be silly or serious. I was in a philosophical mindset when I wrote mine.

I’d love to include a link to your answer in this post.

I believe in a universe that can not be fathomed by the human mind.

I believe in that I may someday know something about God as a capital-letter entity that can be contacted by lil ol’ me.

I believe that I am infinitely connected to some energy-movement that is beyond the words we have to name all-that-is.

I believe that it is necessary to have a clear social structure.

I believe that it is useful to pass down traditions to your children.

I believe that all humans have the absolute right to be respected just for having been created.

I believe that the good and bad actions and attitudes of any person creates a rippling pool of ever-widening effect.

I believe that prayer or concentrating on specific outcomes have a direct effect on what actually happens.

I believe that we humans are all connected in our minds and emotions.

I believe that attempting to do good for others is a more effective type of action that it may seem from the first glance: it has uncalculated effects on others and ourselves.

I believe that it can be depressing to be alive, but my mind and self are a full of layers that can be inspired to create a better and better situation.

I believe that I am sad that we die.

I believe that sleep is one of the things that makes us human; it requires us to trust in life enough to temporarily give up all control; it recharges us in ways we do not comprehend, and maybe can’t.

I believe that bad things that I could imagine are not worth trying out to their deepest darkest despair because that is not trust, it is mistrust.

I believe that I am, and you are too.

I BELIEVE THAT I PROVE BELIEF WITH ACTION.

I BELIEVE THAT A BELIEF IS AT LEAST A WISH, NEXT A MODEL OF UNDERSTANDING, NEXT AN ACTION.

I BELIEVE THAT BELIEF WILL GIVE ME MORE WAYS OF DEALING WITH THE WORLD AROUND ME.

I BELIEVE THAT I CAN FIND OUT WHAT I BELIEVE WHEN MY BELIEFS ARE QUESTIONED.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE? WHAT ABOUT YOU?

THIS IS A MEME FOR ALL WHO READ AND WOULD LIKE TO LINK BACK, I WILL PUT THEIR LINKS IN NEXT POST.

So far
