In the last part of this series I asked if there were those who believed in a creator or not. It seemed like half did and that others did not.
Lets break down why on a journey to find PEACE, PURPOSE, and HAPPINESS that belief in a Creator is a necessity.
You can approach this in two ways. The first is in no belief of a creator/ creators whatsoever. Lets examine what that brings with it? Well, it brings nothing. Nothing whatsoever. You are limited to yourself and what is possible on your own through your own power.
Is this wrong? Who is to say for certain.
If your right in this belief than you have gained/lost nothing.
If your wrong than you may have a lot to lose depending on who or what Creator/Creators you don't believe in and whether they may punish/reward you for your disbelief.
I can tell you regardless of the existence of a creator/creators, by not believing in something, it can be detrimental to your state of mind. As time goes on in this life and you fail to achieve what you have expected or hoped for, the realization that your only shot at life may be through or coming to an end and that your chance is up, it can lead to depression or worst, hopelessness. Now you may be able to look past this and focus on what good you did do but will it be enough. If you succeed in all you had hoped for does it mean anything if there is nothing when it ends. For we all will die. And those who knew us will as well. Does this thought/belief bring you PEACE, PURPOSE, and HAPPINESS or the hope for it knowing there is NOTHING waiting for you.
In the next part I will touch upon why not all beliefs are created equal on the path to PEACE, PURPOSE, and HAPPINESS. And present how you can recognize the work of a creator/creators in your life whether you believe it or not.
Everyone believes in something
you miss all the shots you dont take

-Michael Scott
I do believe and i hope alot of others do just saying
I believe but my mind wanders because anything can happen after we die. And sometimes the thought of death makes me question a creator. And idk i wish all my questions could be answered with fact but this is a good post.
I m an absurdist.
PEACE, PURPOSE, and HAPPINESS 💙 completely agree.
i believe in the god of meat. @thestamos
Prayer and meditation are very necessary in order to find peace. I can never understand how people can manage without prayer. It helps me focus, sort out the negative, and reflect.
Cant wait to hear the rest.
