Influences

I wonder if people realise just how much they influence,
A Child brought up in a certain way?
An Adult that knows nothing else other than their way of life?
A culture that to them is the right way?
A way of life (that is after all what Culture is, passed down through time, a safety valve, catch, a simple way of doing things).

Yes there are those who will fast,
Fast for a week or two or even a month,
X amount of hours a day,
Knowing full well they have a fridge/freezer full of food,
Knowing full well that they have food to eat after the fast,
Yet would they fast if they had no fridge/freezer, no food?

Would they believe in Gods greater plan for Mankind?
Unless you actually Believed In God?
Had Faith/Trust and Love in Him?
Lived this life as a passing fancy (as it truly is, if you believe in written words)?

We do not know our future,
We live in hope,
We Trust those who bring us up in this world,
To Teach us, Teach us Right and Wrong,
To Teach that we are All one,
All One, in a World gone mad by wanting to be more than what we are.

Yet in the Beginning there was Just 3, God and Adam/Eve,
How have we gone wrong, if not through teaching?
Why have we gone wrong, if not through many wanting to be right and fear of being wrong and not accepting we were?

The Heart leads the way or the mind leads the way,
One is Darkness the Other is Light
Those who would gain through anything else, But Truth,
Live by the mind.

All you have to do is look to the past to see,
How mankind has gone forward,
How mankind has screwed up with wars/disputes,
And used Gods Name in public to serve their cause,
To bring others to their cause?

You do not know Right from Wrong,
Best Live Your Life with no judgement of other faiths or religions.
