I once was riding in a car with a friend and a street light went out (not a traffic light) and he said "Did you see that?" I didn't really, but he told me and I nodded. Another time I was riding with him and it happened again, and I saw it. I didn't really think that much of it at the time. Years later, after my husband had died, I too saw street lights go out, and still to this day it happens. I look at it as, someone, something, is there for me to believe that I am being looked out for.
I do beleive in God, and I do pray to God. I am not, per say, a religios person, like I must go to church or such, but I believe that if someone has "something" to believe in, it makes it much easier to deal with the hard times that we must face to make us stronger. |

One of those wonderful mysteries in life that seem to have no valid explanation. Yet we are a creature whose perceptions are limited to the information that only our senses provide. Sometimes the whole picture can not be conceived by the senses alone. More than this, I believe, that if a whole could be 'sensed', our perceptions are still limited by the preconceived bias of our experiences that have lead to the beliefs we hold at any given time. We can accept the mysteries of life as a lack of our ability to percieve, without preconceived bias, or we can attempt to explain them, through attribution, to the paranormal, other-worldly, interdimensional, or a higher power. It seems to be a comfort for humans to have an answer to life's mysteries. For me, explaing a mystery by attributing it to a belief, is no answer at all, only a way to calm that part of our being that 'requires' an answer to be had. But that is my view and it is based on the bias of my belief, and though our views differ, there is one thing we can both agree on, it was a wonderful mystery with a happy ending. And it is your mystery, and your right to conclude in any way that is most comforting to you. May you find angels and happy endings to all the mysteries in your life. that was a very nice answer. thank you. we can agree to disagree on matters of religion, but you are an intelligent and friendly woman and show respect when it is shown to you. i hope that your life has many blessings! (btw, your pic looks good!) |
