If your defence is your belief, is it worth fighting for?
To trust a belief, you must think the source of information is accurate. Myths, legends, and folktales have a vein of truth, but that doesn’t make them fact. In a world with technology, can any government be trusted when they keep secrets?
Many wars have been fought over a belief and have become part of history. Society bases its convictions on history lessons with the governing body’s criteria.
Now, a person is born into a world and believes in the history their nation has been taught. The winner wrote history based on a confused, twisted truth and tarnished past.
Faith in a belief means being sure that the knowledge is trustworthy, but the information is not necessarily a fact. Most spiritual, religious, and secular laws stem from our ancestors’ understandings that were not scientific, mathematical, or reliable witnesses.
In defence of a belief, practising some traditions holds the present in the past and becomes a custom and part of the culture in some societies. This gives the present the impression that the principles of yesteryear are accurate.
However, in a secular court of law, they will hear a witness but ignore hearsay because it is similar to Chinese whispers. When the court confronts a belief, it respects specific aspects of some and disregards others.
For example, British secular law does not recognise a Muslim marriage, but it will uphold a Christian marriage when the institution derives from the enslavement of a woman. Heritage holds onto a witness’s voice, turning to word of mouth and gossip, and then the past is re-enacted in the present to take into the future.
The Egyptians discovered and lost the binary mathematical system over the centuries to be rediscovered in the twentieth century. The past holds many lost truths, and it is up to the future to find the correct path from various roads.
Spell on love
Love potions have a toxic ingredient from a primitive nature: possessive jealousy with envy. This adds poison to the blend of love.
The elixir for love is equal to none, forever forgiving love.
Orchid of Love
If love were represented by a black orchid, its soft, delicate petals would caress hearts tenderly, and its sweet fragrances would lift our souls into the air with joy.
If love were similar to dark chocolate, it would have a smooth, silky taste laced with kindness.
Love can behold you.
Love can hold you.
Love can never control you.
Love can make you.
Love can mould you.
Love can be fun.
Love can make you feel blue.
Love wasn’t meant to be cruel.
Love can be too blind to see your love; the nation’s love, the one love.
Is the world sharing its labour for love like the beauty in a black orchid?
The only way to peace and love is to have one love for your neighbour.
We’re in love, and like tasting sweet dark chocolate, it lingers.
