Are We Taken in By What Others Tell Us

12 August 2016 — Are We Taken in By What others Tell Us?

I have just come across a saying which reads: “The good man, who professes no religion is truly a religious man’. These sentiments are ones which do not mirror the ethos of today where many people use their religion to proclaim who they are, and in many cases whom they feel other people should be; and this sometimes has the effect of making them feel that they are better than those who do not follow their religion.

Unfortunately, I feel that today the custom is to value what people SAY rather than HOW people act. When we do this we could perhaps to be said to be diminishing our own Point of Power in the Moment through believing what we hear without proof of its accuracy. Our Point of Power in the moment is surely boosted when we judge situations on what we see, rather than on what we are told.
