‘Which religion should I choose to believe in’, reads <br />the heading of an article on Skeptic Website, I feel <br />very superior for already having formulated my criteria <br />to choose amongst religions and having chosen one, <br />experiencing the results <br /> <br />Not being a prescriptive kind of person, believing in <br />freedom as the highest creed and personal responsibility <br />as the principle for a moral life, I shall never proselytize, <br />all people should be free to learn through hit-and-run- <br />accidents; I prefer trying out alternatives in my head <br /> <br />While most people prefer to learn through acting out <br />their fantasies; still searching for an impersonal, out- <br />side authority to give them guidance, but I am content <br />regarding this aspect, enjoying the way life confirms <br />everything I’ve learnt <br /> <br />Hoping people who find out how it works will enjoy <br />the humour of the human situation with me; we are <br />so good at creating illusions; it is a pity so few have <br />the ability to sit back and enjoy the show, preferring <br />to get stuck in every possible snare <br /> <br />Their minds can offer – it is very adventurous <br />and challenging to live that way, but I require <br />something more, I have my sights on a <br />different way of life….<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-different-way-of-life/
