Personal faith

Formal religion was always on my blind side: most of this is due to my socialist-atheist upbringing, and also to the fact that there isn’t any proof of whatever religions are talking about. However, I always believed that the human spirit is limited, that human progress is happening within pre-defined boundaries, and thus there are things that aren’t given to the human spirit to know, therefore, we shouldn’t write/think/contemplate such things. I believe that this is faith, at its core.

Balance

Entire human existence, according to one theory, can be explained by the need to restore a balance: if we’re hungry, we eat, if we’re thirsty, we drink, etc. However, what motivates us, what puts us in motion, is imbalance. Once we acquire a temporary balance, we become complacent and inactive. That’s why all religious descriptions of Paradise look boring.
