I wasn't always as I may seem. Just after high school is when things really began to open up and I wasn't so quiet. You know the old saying........ LOL

Even as a young child I found it hard to believe what someone told me to do or not do, unless they could give me a valid common-sense answer to my "why" question. These days I've educated myself on as many subjects as I could. I even learned pharmacy so I could help others in healthcare. That is one bit of schooling that has helped me to say no to others telling me what to and not do. Even dig in my heels when mandated to do something that made no sense. To this day I've defied the media scare and am healthy as can be even after being "exposed" many times to "contagious" people in close quarters. Maybe I'm just lucky but my whole "family" is just as healthy as I am. The mind can be a very strong instrument. Love your words, Krysta !!!

I consider one of my earliest intuitive gifts to have been my inner ding telling me to question the religious doctrine I was being fed. The non negotiable one was telling me my best friends would go to hell if they didn't subscribe to this one religion. ironically my best friend was and still is Catholic.

Many Catholics still believe people who aren't Catholic will go to hell....there are other religions that teach a similar idea. If we don't belong to an organized religion, we're doomed, according to them. Well, I guess we'll all be in good company with one another then!

The first thing a person can do to get control over how they think and feel, and how they relate to the rest of the world, and how to give themselves and others the best opportunity to be happy, to love and be loved, and to live a fully healthy and productive life: GET RELIGION OUT OF YOUR LIFE LIKE RIPPING OFF A BANDAGE! Don't waste a single precious moment thinking about it! Treat religion like the scourge it is; a parasite on a dead body.
