WHAT IF SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING?

After quite a hiatus, I find it hard to not be back writing. After all, that's what I do best; as a writer I'm able to get my message across successfully, without having to force my self (or my beliefs) on someone else.

Here's why blogging works for me: it's free, it's easy to access, and you can agree to disagree. Words in print has a way to be forceful with readers, but blogging is the medium where you can express yourself freely and be counted as opinion, rather than beliefs.

Hence the topic for today: what if seeing is not believing? Here's an example:

You ran into a friend at a cafe. You see him from afar, having a cup of coffee looking at his watch from time to time. A lady came, sat down and they exchange kisses.

As far as you know, this friend has a partner, one that he seems to be devoted to. Do you take a picture of him, and send it to her, claiming you have seen everything and you've to omit nothing to avoid feeling guilty? Or you look at yourself and know you've no confirmation that this man is committing a (presumably) wrong doing?

Which belief that you're keeping?

I, personally, am not a person who hold on to one belief for long. The core of my belief might remain the same, but our eyes see things from day to day, it differs from what you think is right therefore leads you to believe things are different and subject to changes where it's due.

So seeing is not enough reason why you should start to believe. Seeing is a way to better our judgment not a way to cement our belief.

In the upcoming months, I might not stand where my belief is today. I might jump ship to yours or....who knows? I could only hope I will make the right decision every time I do so, while holding fast still to the core of my belief.

A house, could be build like any other house. It will stand strong, sturdy against the storm, shelter you from pouring rain. But a house is not always a home.

And I strive to make my house a home. My house might not be typically appealing, but I want to make you feel welcome despite our differences.

Then of course, you don't get second chance when it comes to first impression. That's a continuous debate, one that I hope we can get on it soon.

What works for you, though?
