I Believe

 

I believe that life has no meaning...but for the meaning we give it.

I believe that pride goeth before a fall.

I believe that language itself obscures many truths and that opposites are inseparable:

There is no good without bad. There is no love without hate. Much that is serious is spoken in jest. 

I believe it is possible to live one's whole life in a state of confusion and distraction...focusing on the satiation of one's desires.

I believe it is possible to live one's whole life in the comfort of having persuaded someone else to think well of us.

I believe that 'real love' can only be the act of giving without expectation of return.

I believe that there is no God and I believe that there is nothing but God.

I believe that my questions might not be your questions
...and that my answers might not be your answers.
