[bodytext] => My Beliefs – Today I may not ‘have’ Religion But I do have many beliefs Not many of them will be proven Not all of them make sense I believe global warming is a fallacy And that if you rarely eat food native to your environment- You will get ill. Cancer in Asians living in England an obvious result of wrong diet For the environment – Is my belief But I have no proof I believe the media to be public enemy number one, While it is run by Pessimistic, sanctimonious, irresponsible, egomaniacal, materialistic ***** stirrers I believe that all hairdressers where abducted by aliens in 1972 And where not returned until 1995 If not abducted, then possessed This is a belief I may be shaken on. I believe the only war today is the one between advocates of Change and progress And those who wish to stay over two millennia in the past The desire to prove you are right Is not the same has having a belief A true belief requires no proof My beliefs are my own You can share them if you like But you can have your own That’s fine And my mind is open to yours I believe the Earth it has a lifetime And one day will be dust And we should enjoy our planet while it is here In a few hundred millennia it will be gone Then it won’t matter who owns Israel or Ireland or the Turin Shroud I believe children should be taught to play before numbers and letters I believe we should take 90% of the tests away I believe in marking a child on attitude to the task rather than attainment I believe political correctness is killing ‘community’ I believe that some people. Sometimes, need, deserve, require A punch in the face I believe mach3 replacement blades to be horrendously overpriced I believe that no smoking signs were enough Making it a ‘crime’ was unnecessary Some of my beliefs are whimsy I believe I make the best chocolate cake in the world – But I haven’t tried everyone else’s I believe everyone should start their day with a mug of hot water – Good for your system! I believe in many old adages ‘A bit of dirt does you good’ ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth’ ‘A poke in the eye – sometimes causes offence’ I believe people can change But fundamental characteristics will always emerge Pessimism, greed and envy don’t let go very easily Some beliefs are deeply held ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ A life without pain, is a life unlived A life without pain must be a life without love For it is when you feel their pain or they cause you pain That you know for sure, how much you love them I also believe pain to be more addictive than pleasure I believe religion to be a manmade invention – like the drug thalidomide Wonderful for its purpose But erratic in its effect on the individual And horrendously damaging when used incorrectly I believe it to be highly probable that I am the perfect woman for Johnny Depp – I should be his muse – or perhaps Keanu Reeves I believe that an unexpected personal letter can be the nicest of surprises I believe a hug can be the greatest gift And I believe I have ranted enough – For now.
