You see/hear so many people talking about controlling your destiny... Life is what you make of it... Decisions are what you make of them... blah blah blah...
But what can you really control if you can't control yourself...
All my life, I have been about controlling myself... And I had done that successfully... until recently... Unfortunately, I was never taught that I should control the situation more than controlling myself... Well maybe I'll teach my children that...
Point being... Recently, I have lost control over myself...

The Criterion
In my previous post, I forgot to mention the criteria... the criteria to differentiate right and wrong...
Every human is born with a soul... a conscience... which eventually moulds itself according to the surroundings... Unfortunately for this day and age, the surroundings seem to be quite immoral... this creates a generation where conscience is no longer consulted and the mind follows a different path than the heart and soul... and this new generation is where the death of morals lie...
Unless... unless we revive morals...
But where do we get the morals... Religion is usually the first place to look... but not right now... let's look at our hearts... our souls.. our inner self... and then let's look at the world... nature... then we'll look at religion...
As young'ins we have a slight idea... For example, the early men even used to hide their privates... It is naturally instilled in us... but eventually the surroundings pressure us and we give way...
Nature has its way of telling us things... but it also lets you do the completely opposite... The only explanation, I think, is that Nature tests us... it tells you something and waits for you to slip up... then waits for others to slip up the way you slipped... And when there are enough people, out of the blue something huge happens and a couple of thousand people die... and those who are left alive have been taught a lesson...
All this leads to religion... Religion builds on these morals... If they are still intact, following a religion is not a problem... If they aren't, you are on a rocky path... Religion builds on that base... And if you have that base, selecting THE religion becomes extremely easy... Because, in your inner self, you are searching for it... It is just a matter of time where you read about the various religions from authentic (authentic because there are loads of texts you can find easily that provide you with false info) books and select the right one... Because that specific religion builds on that base... It gives you that spiritual uplift that has been missing all these years of uneasiness... of emptiness... of frustration... looking at the state of the world... looking at what is happening around you... looking at what has happened... thinking about what will happen...
But in the end, people go astray... they lean more towards people rather than the religious scriptures... they hear more from softspoken people and forget the aggressive ones... they get confused... they listen to the heart more than mind or vice versa... but all that matters is that it should be you who chooses... however, in the end someone chooses for you... and that is why you are at a loss...
Remember... it is easy to go astray... it is hard to stay on the right path...
