Philosophic Thoughts

 Every new year is a new book full of 365 blank pages for you to write your own story. And who knows? Maybe make some history. Maybe this year is a beginning of a whole new journey.
 Or maybe not. We'll never know.
 Do you believe in faith? Do you believe your path has already been written? Do you believe in destiny? That everything happens for a reason and we shouldn't question it?
 Don't. Just don't.
 The real beauty of life is in tracing your own path. Is in believing in you. And if you want the world to change, then just be the change you want to see in the world. Nothing's stopping you.
 We are what we are because we were born in the middle of a culture, of a society, in the middle of values and beliefs that we do or do not agree with. In the middle of people that will influence our journey, whether we want it or not. They will influence us. Because, in the end of the day, we are human beings, we only are what we are because we interact, cooperate with each other.
 Either way, it's not your beliefs, values, that make you a better person. Your actions are what defines you from being either good or a bad person.
  We are exposed to dogmatic situations where we are forced to choose between just believing or questioning it. Why believing in something that is humanly impossible to prove? (until now) And, on the other hand, you may ask, why not just accepting the facts and be happy? Why would you? Because the less you know the happier you are? It's not suppose to be like that.
 We don't need to hold on to something we are not sure of the existence just to have peace in our minds. Just because it makes us feel safer from the unknown. Yes, we are afraid of the unknown.
 But the more we question, the more we'll learn and pieces of puzzles we'll be brought together, at some point. We'll just figure out the unknown. The answer is probably more simpler than we expect.
 I don't judge you if you believe in some kind of force that's omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, because, after all, we have no idea how we end up here. I judge you if you decide to ignore your guts, your values and what's important to you because another person coerced you into jumping to some conclusion that will affect your and maybe others conduct.
 So look at the 365 blank pages. Think wisely before you write on them because once you write and turn the page, there's no way you can erase it. The only way out will be ending a chapter and sometimes it's not as easy as it seems.
 Question before you speak.
 Read before you write.
 Think before you explain it.
 Understand before you believe it.
