(eighth week)

Religion could be a controversial topic but I think is good to talk about it because it can be confused with spirituality. Most of the times, poeple think that the spirituality is based on the times that you go to the church or something like that. Bur for me, it is not necessarily related to religions.

At first, i’m going to clear out the meaning of religion. It is a set of rules and norms that were created by humans, initially, with the intention of love and to approach God. But unfortunately, with the passing of the years, that purpose was deteriorating. I think now some religions seems more like a doctrine that encourage intolerance, fear and sometimes hatred. It doesn’t mean that i’m against all religions, I think each religion have a good thing, the problem is when people misunderstand some words or writings about that, also, the level of fanaticism that they have, because with that, people usually tend to judge someone for not belonging to their religion or to not share their beliefs.

The spirituality could mean different things depend of each person but for me, it consists of doing good things that connect you to God (or whatever you believe in) and the universe; from help someone to be grateful. Because it doesn’t have sense if you go to the church every weekend but during the week you say, do and think bad things.

This topic is a bit extensive but in conclusion this is what I think. The idea is to be in a balance, and just do what make you feel better without harming anyone and create your own truth if you don’t feel identified with a specific religion but at the same time, you believe in God or in something superior to you. Remember that being spiritual is not always the same as being religious!.
