Still Thinking

We believe what we want to believe. We think that the other person is very convincing, but we believe because we want to believe. Bcuz it sets us free from some of our worries. Believing in promises gives us some kind of insurance regarding that aspect of our life. but we are disappointed. Not all promises are kept. But atleast in search of the best life partner, good job etc etc., we realise that we are capable of 100% belief. 

My buddhist practice promises to us lifetime after lifetime of support, happiness, courage, and above all protection and it takes us longest to believe in that.  But atleast from past bitter but valuable experiences we atleast know that we are capable of 100% belief(didnt i say that already...neways).

We only have to choose then. What do we believe in and want? Good things measuring in years or good things measuring in eternity.

(Honestly both...and i even know i can have it...:) )
