Reply #138: I may not be religious.....

but I am more spiritual than 95% of people I know. By not relying on a deity to tell me what to think, I have had to find my own way on this earth. I have come to realize the connection between us all and how what I do to one has a ripple effect on many. I know that I may like to lash out at someone who has made me mad but if I do they may get upset and take it out on those around them. Thus my actions can effect those who I do not even know. Only a psychopath would want to purposely hurt those they do not know and therefore I live by the motto of 'do no harm'.

Living this way has also taught me that I have to concentrate on myself and my own actions. Trying to take away the right of gays to be in a legal committed loving relationship means me trying to have control over them and I am not a deity so I have no right to try and control them. Live and let live. The world has enough violence, it is down a few quarts on love. Why would we want to try and inhibit such a positive thing?
