Seeing Is Believeing
From a very tender age up until of late, I used to believe in so many things which I had not put to test yet. I was so positive with life, always believing in everything for the mere beauty of how sincere it looked. Sometimes I would simply believe everything because I was told, not considering the fact that anything emanating from a human being can either be the truth or the opposite of the truth-lies. It always caught me by surprise when I would be brought back into reality with the fact that all I had thought to be true was a mere factor of letting things flow in the right direction to please me-but not a reality of the same.

Not only did I believe everything I heard but I would also believe that there are people in this world who are stronger than others in each and every single way. I believed that they were stronger in all aspect; emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally. I believed that even when shaken, my father was the strongest man in the world. I was little boy by then and I did not know that he also was human and that he had a weakness.

From the time I was a small boy, I viewed my father as being a hero and a legend at the same time. He was big physically, rich and had the power to do anything. To me, there was no one on this earth like him. I feared him because he was a no nonsense man. He did not entertain any form of failure. These are some of the qualities that made him respected and feared by everyone around him. Even my very own mother feared him in a way. I would notice her change of behavior in my father’s presence, for instance, my mum would address us different while my father was present.

There was no mountain that my father could not move and this had built inside me so much so that I started to view him as a point of reference in everything that I did. He did everything perfectly as I thought. My father would not put up with any form of indiscipline neither would he tolerate any form of failure in school work. He viewed

    My life can be closely related to the life of Wes Moore’s. Even though I did not lose my father at a young age, the admiration for my father is just as big as Wes’s. When I was a toddler, I wanted to be just like my father. I tried to do almost everything that he did. I even appreciated some of the things that he liked and did, so I could be just like him. While growing, I hit a stage where I started to think that being like my father was not such a good thing. I began thinking that I didn’t want to be like him at all, because he was a big disciplinarian. I thought that once I reached adulthood, I would be too hard on my children if I followed in his footsteps. As I continue to mature, I’ve noticed that he does this to bring out the best in me, and without him I would not be the person I am today.…

    When you start learning the truth, it ironically might be hard to believe, and you soon learn that everything you once believed was true were just lies and theories, and everything you thought you saw was just a disoriented shadow on the wall. Any and everything that you come across should be followed with a question, despite everyone around you saying it’s true, or it even being right in front of you. Nothing should ever be left…

    There is not one person out there that does not have a belief. If you accept it and you feel that it as the truth or if it exists then I belief it’s a belief. One of my many believes now is “Everything will turn out all right”. Every bad story has a happy ending, well that’s the way I see it now. Shortly after graduating high school, I began working at a hospital and I worked there for a few years, but soon things began to change as we got a new manager, people began to leave, new people came on board and shortly they began to let people go because of budget cuts. I didn’t think much about it until I was let go suddenly. At the moment I was speechless that so many thoughts were running through my head that I just walked out without saying a word.…

    I challenge myself every day to become like my mother and father. I have recently faced a big challenge when my father passed away. In July of 2013, my father died unexpectedly. He had heart disease, which ultimately caused his death, but we didn’t know he had it until after he passed away. This has played a significant role in reminding me who I was raised by and the standards he has set. It has steered me toward proving my parents that I am a hard worker and will carry my culture respectfully throughout my life.…

    God for a Religious Person

    • 1024 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Sometimes, an individual becomes unaware of an idea or an assumption and subconsciously believes it as a fact; however, this oblivion can turn out to be a massive frustration cause if that “fact” is ever proven false. For instance, in sports, after a long winning streak done by a top-level team, the supporters of the team would never believe that there would be any chance of losing against a lower-level team. If that ever happens, the shock would be more painful to the supporters than what it would be if the supported team was the lower-level team and in a long-losing streak. As I believe, that’s a way the human brain follows to build its own set of believes. Sometimes, these believes can be much stronger than to be broken by losing a game or a debate. Outstandingly, the religiously based believes are the ones that fit the context the most because they are usually taught since childhood until adulthood and they don’t change. Being raised in a religious family might delay questioning the religion’s credibility until the religious textures become seemingly contradictory. Having many points of contradiction concerns the believer and begs the questions about why the believers chose to believe, how the religion was formed and delivered, and what the tangible evidence of the religion’s stories, if any, is.…
