Our Words of Wisdom
“The problem with religion or belief is not in what we believe or how we practice it, it’s in how we perceive what we practice or believe in. Some people just feel so lonely in what they believe in and all they do is to try to find other people to believe in it with them, and most times they do it forcefully. There is no need for force it’s simply will and conviction. I think if we are so convinced and grounded in what we believe in, it will reflect in how we live our lives and the decisions we make, people will see how it works for us and they make their decisions and choices to believe in it or not. We all simply need to show respect for other people's beliefs and be responsible for the choices we make and not find affirmation in forcing or luring others into supporting our opinions or choices. That’s the key to peaceful co-existence.”
