I find myself in a constant struggle, believing in something yet unsure of what that something is. This internal conflict is a journey I invite you to join me on as we navigate the complexities of faith and existence.
I think the concept of the Catholic God is close to my heart and soul (even if I don’t believe in priests and churches). I want to believe in something, even if it seems mad, in the third decade of the XXI century. After all, most of us know that money, violence, power, greed, anger, and capitalism rule the world. There is not too much space for sentimentalism and love in this mad world. Still, the mundane reality can remind me that love and faith exist, and it is more powerful than we all think. I was inspired to write this text by the Beatles’ song “Long, Long, Long.” The truth is that I devoted one of my texts to this song in the past.
For me, George Harrison’s voice signifies longing for something divine and usual: pure love.
Something that will take care of each human, no matter what one did during a life. I think it is easier to say I do not believe in anything than stating that I do believe in something. Still, it is practically impossible to state what I believe. I believe that the life that appeared on planet Earth at this time, not the other, was not an accident. I do not believe that chaos rules the world, even if all our common sense tells us everything is a chaotic coincidence.
Also, I believe good will prevail and overcome evil. Am I naive? Undoubtedly, I am. Everything I write in this text is my faith, not common sense. This common sense sometimes says everything does not make sense. Still, what if everything makes sense? I could write similar statements for the next two hours, but I think I won’t discover anything profound today. That’s why I will go to sleep. Goodnight, my Dear Friend.
