So it goes.
Yes, we are constantly told how to think, but different things have different impacts. Personally I just can't jump on board the ship that has sailed here. I'm being asked to distort my own reality with no compelling reason to do such a thing. I want people to believe in God, yet they won't because they feel the same way.
It's like if you spent months building a house and some people come by and say "Hey, you should tear your house down and build it 9 miles that way because I feel like it's a better spot." And I respond, "Well how's it a better spot?" and they say "Because I feel like it is".
You know what I'm going to do? Keep my house right where it is.
