Who am I to say there is no god
To say the world is lost
To destroy the hope others found through an enduring light they see in all beings
Who am I to assume that I determine the past and future
I do not decide the past and future.
Who am I to say you are wrong, or to think I am right
Who are we to argue the existence of a higher power none of us could ever fathom
Who are we to say we have proof! Proof that there is no god!
Did we create the universe? Do we make the sun shine, stars twinkle, galaxies dance, waves tumble, or the wind blow?
Who are we to say that our proof is proof of anything, or try to prove nothing!
Who are we to tie a bow on our beliefs, thinking only our own is the end all be all of life
Who are you to say anything
You know nothing.
We know nothing.
Tell me what you think you know, but first tell me all that you do not know
Tell me all your exponential failings of knowledge,
Or tell me that you know nothing, that we know nothing
Only then will you be wise,
Only then do you know something.
Written in teenage years out of frustration with so many people thinking and pretending they knew more than they actually did. Probably out of frustration with my own similar tendencies as well.
Since then I have learned to always ask questions, and not to let my accumulation of knowledge get in the way of further lessons.
