Prompt: Metaphysical Assumptions
In a world with many different cultures and beliefs, it is hard to state the exact reality of nature. However, metaphysics allows you to look inside your self and take a look at you surroundings, and come to terms with what your belief is. Where you are raised and how you are raised has a lot to do with how you look at the world around you. Since I was raised in the Georgia, one of the states that makes up the "Bible Belt" of America, I grew up in a Christian family, being taught from an early age that God was God, and there is and never will be anyone like him. However, I am also aware that there are so many other beliefs out on the earth, that believe just as fiercely and consistently as I do. Regardless of this, each person is entitled to their own image of what this earth truly is.
As a Christian I believe that one God created man and woman with the intention of making each and every woman after that in a unique way. Each person is different, however still conforming to the image of God set forth hundreds of years ago, when God spoke, and there was light. I also believe that God created everyone equally, with one person not having more importance over another. Each person, regardless of race, gender, or religion is equal. I also believe that yes there are spiritual bodies out there, who watch our every move: bodies such as angels, demons, and Satan. As well, I see that there is pain in the world, but one day there will be a second coming of Christ, and we will all be sent to deal with our fate.
Although my beliefs may sounds like I am ranting or preaching, I am not. I think that just as God gave us our ability to make choices, each person should have the opportunity to make that choice. Hurdles and problems will be sometimes be in the way, but we must never give up. The journey to our self truth is what makes us human: we do not simply comply with nature, we wish to find out why it is, what it is and how it is. These hurdles will help you find your own answers.
