Someone in school asked if I believed in ghosts when I didn’t believe in God.
I didn’t answer her, because someone else chipped in his opinion.
Truthfully, I also had no answer to give because I was perplexed over that question. Aren’t these two completely different things? Why must I disbelieve in ghosts when I disbelieve in gods? They’re just not the same.
I don’t worship gods. Most of the time, I’m unsure of whether to believe in one or not, so I don’t (because I’m lazy like that). Sometimes I hope that gods are real. But I usually lack the faith and enthusiasm for worship activities.
It’s the same mentality over how I’m not rabidly crazy over fandoms/idols because I just don’t have the drive to worship anyone.
Ghosts, on the other hand, I believe to be real. Most of the time, I hope they’re nothing but fictitious stories because I never want to encounter one, but I do believe.
Perhaps it’s because ghosts were once human, and humans are real from my perspective.
Also, if ghosts are real, it gives me hope for life after death in clinging onto the material world.
On to livelier, more scandalous things, I’ve taken to wondering about the recent spate of high profile ‘family-friendly’ men being outed to the media of their numerous extramarital affairs. Is it an indication of mankind’s primitive tendencies to propagate when they feel successful? You know, natural selection at it’s best, the urge to spread success!genes everywhere to ensure that the next batch of humans will prevail :P
It doesn’t account for unsuccessful people who do have affairs, but it’s a Richard Dawkins tidbit I’m chewing upon just for kicks.
