I too went through a journey out of Christianity and moderate leaning political beliefs at age 20 to where I am currently, which is a more theistic agnosticism and communist leaning leftism that has left me feeling like the dialectical journey itself is as much as part of ones beliefs as the beliefs (possibly more so). And as uncanny as it is, the one proverb I too have held onto and valued deeply for the past 20 years despite the ups and downs of my journey has been 1 Cor. 13:13. Love is everything. Love is, will be, has been, will always be and helps to bring light where there is darkness. And it doesn't require a membership, a registration, a church or doctrine, any terms and conditions, or any constants. The more we search for love in our way through life, the more answers we can find, the more people we can meet, the more experiences we will have, the more fear we can overcome, and the more peace, hope, and faith we can explore. I think I still have a long way to go along my journey of love and better understanding of myself, others, and the universe, but the dialectical journey and the love that grows as one learns more about communism, leftism, and the perspectives of all people globally regardless of their class or history certainly has had much to teach me and hopefully can help us in the potentially challenging times ahead.
i knew there was something about that excerpt
cheers to you for that one
