Gullible

Human beings are a gullible race of beings.
We seem to follow anyone who is determined to win and can come off as a like able fellow.
We have our religions that don’t let us believe in ourselves.
Our religions are all about conquering the world to save the world from other pagan religions just like ours.
In elementary school, we all learned about bullies and what to do about them.
Call their bluff and they will back down.
The only problem with calling someone’s bluff is that you might get killed in the process.
If you believe in something strong enough to die for it, that’s okay for you, but if you get me believe in your idea and then I have to die for it that makes me gullible and stupid to the point of absolute absurdity.
There is a quality of life that must be addressed here on earth for sure, but if you never really question your beliefs then who are you to proclaim death before honor or some such nonsense.
Give me liberty or give me death is the battle cry of an America longing to be free.
Trying to make the world free when they may not want the same things as we do is quite another thing entirely.
It is up each one of us to make our peace with this earth or depart it knowing we tried.
As a self confessed happy person who has made his peace with this earth, I can tell you one thing, which is, live and let live is what all people should be living by.
Pushing my ideas off on others is presuming that I know what is best for everyone else. That is taking yourself pretty serious, which is setting yourself and others up for failure.
Why would I want to take on such a burden is beyond me.
