One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.

All of you step back and take a breather. Spend a bit of time alone before doing anything as you still sound a bit confused about your feelings to be honest. Then you'll make a good decision

i think the question should be do you understand everything you are being taught

If you are confused by religion, you are really paying attention and trying to understand honestly - spiritual teachings contradict themselves because they can't all apply all the time, they are guidelines that only apply in the right place, time and person.\n\nMaybe you are on the right path. Realizing you don't know what you don't know is the beginning of wisdom, some would say.

While it may appear to you that since life dows exist which in itself is a mystery, mankind relies upon logic. When he cannot reason out the answers, determain, a formula to exctact and solve questions, discover a sep by step sequince he is then lost. When we are confused by controversy and we cannot find a conventional means to resolve our questions we become lost and will not accept what is put before us.

Imagine you are walking a path. The ONLY path to wherever you are going. A path filled with stumbling blocks and potholes. Will you sit on the pavement and worry how you gonna go? Probably you will just walk on... \n\nThats how life is. Take life as it comes. Dont worry about what u will do in future. Cross the bridge when it comes... \n\nForget the past, for its gone for good. But yes learn from it\nForget the future, for its yet to come and you dont know what it might hold\nLive in the present, for thats certain. Yes, you can still plan for ahead.\n\nIt might sound toooooo philosophical but trust me, these are the words that is seeing me through the life's difficulties Im going through. \n\nRemember: NOONE in this planet is free from the troubles of life. So yours might just be as small as a dot when you hear someone else's struggle.... \n\nMarch on soldier....\n\n.:Fishie:.

When you realize that all that has happened, is just about the only way it could work out, then you can accept the past, and begin to forgive, and forget. It sounds dogmatic, and implies predestination, but it's true. Go in peace...

Yes, absolutely.  This is why I study religions and am majoring in religious studies!  There is more than one way to be human, and when you learn others' religious beliefs, you can see that very clearly.  We tend to take so many things for granted and not realize they are even "beliefs" but we assume them to be "facts."  But then when we realize that other people look at it differently, we can see that we were just taking certain things for granted and there is no reason to do that.\n\nThere is wisdom in all religions.  Why limit yourself to the wisdom of only one?

Things will go a lot easier for you when you stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.  Concentrate on your own beliefs and others will will have their own journies to travel.

There is a saying that "Peace begins at home". I believe that to be true.\nWe must begin our search for peace within ourselves.\nWhen we fully understand our own strengths as well as weaknesses,\nthen we can be sensitive to the talents and needs of all others.\nWhen we can be at peace with our own beliefs and not feel threatened by the beliefs of others,\nthen we can begin to understand the spiritual vastness of our soul, and its position in the universe at large.\nWhen we can clearly discern between good and evil within ourselves,\nthen we can look with empathy upon the deeds of others.\nWhen we can see all of the world's people as our own family;\nmothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters,\nthen we can be at peace with our own position.\nThen we can be of assistance in the world.\n\nNow, let's play some footie!!
