I am, but do I have to be?

I am... But do I have to be?

I didn't exist before, I exist now but do I exist after?

Why do I exist?

Do I have to exist?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the result of a planned equation rather than that of a chain of random events of no real value.

How can I know if I'm here to fill a gap or to make a difference?

How can I set a price on anything when I don't know the price of this life?

Do I take it for granted or am I working for something greater?

They say I have nothing to lose, that I should take the risk but they fail to see my point.

I was born yesterday. No, not yesterday, but yesterday. As in I have come to this world with no knowledge of it and still continue to have no knowledge.

The natural sciences explain to us how this game works, the physics, biology and chemistry that runs everything but we have yet to define the objective.

I came to this world thinking I was the only conscious one, that everyone else were the fillers. Fortunately and unfortunately I was wrong. Everyone is conscious but our realities differ.

Enter scene, three main characters, each righteous in their quest gathering followers.

They share similarities in their philosophies yet they wage war upon one another. They acknowledge but do not respect.

They promise they are nothing but the truth and should their followers will it the truth will consume them and they will walk the darkness with guiding hands. They will be protected, favoured by fortune.

Just don't trust the other.

I'm not here to choose a path on the fork. I have no idea how I came to suddenly be and what will become of me when I cease to be.

What I do know is I won't be consumed by the opinions of other men and women. I will walk my own path of righteousness. I will judge others how I see fit. There may be occasions where my personal beliefs can form irrationality but I have never stated that I am perfect.

And what is my belief?

That we are all connected. In body we are different but our souls come from the same spring and our souls have many traits, which is why we have to depend on it sometimes to govern what is right and wrong.

You don't need commandments and a holy book to tell you how to live righteous like the prophets that guide you.

My belief is simple.

Do not harm another soul.

We are defined by our actions. Should this world be under the judgement of a 'holier than thou' entity, it's safe to say that my belief will take you far.
