As you go through life you come across many people, some have strong opinions, some have no opinions, just like on this forum in fact!
Is it right to have no opinion? Is it right to believe in everything, to accept everything as a possibility? In my view those that commit to nothing, that always have an open mind, that embrace every possibility are in fact, nothing..
Who are they? What do they stand for? what do they believe in? the answer is of course, everything, and nothing.
I have given much thought to those of multi faith, those that believe in all gods, in all paths, and I have come to the conclusion that although they may believe in everything, what in fact they believe in, is nothing.
Ask such a person any question, and you will get both sides of the argument, although this is helpful in accepting anothers point of view, it also means there is no conviction, no commitment,
We all have to believe in something, We all have to get off the fence and stand up and say, this is what defines me, this is who I am, sure it may change in time, sure we may even be wrong, but the journey to the truth, in my view, is not accepting everything in the hope that somewhere in there is the truth, but isolating and marking out the truth, and then embracing that, and that alone. Yes, it is a lot harder than a blanket acceptance, but I would rather be something than nothing, even if that something was wrong.
