I get depressed in this section sometimes. So many people have such a bleary outlook toward God (I use that loosly to refer to all perceptions), towards people, and towards life.
Why is it so hard to believe that it's okay to simply enjoy our lives as long as we don't harm anyone else? I mean, it's important to take time to help others, but that can be fun, and rewarding.
I think religion is taking so much joy out of life, and I think the very religious country I live in (the US) is depressed and on tons of meds for a reason. Did you know they've done studies on happiness, and we are a very unhappy country despite our wealth?
I believe God would want us to enjoy the life we are given, completely. Every second of it. This whole sin thing is such a drag. Just be a good person, that's it. It's not that hard. Yeah, we're not perfect, but I think I do pretty well most of the time, so I know it's not impossible.
This negative energy gets me down. How about you guys?
