Topic: The things you are convinced of... Posted: 26-Mar-2007 at 23:00 |
The things you are convinced of... but won't ever be able to prove.
There are several stuff I'm sure of by that haven't been proved or are simply impossible to demonstrate.
Example 1: In 300 years everybody will be religious fanatics. Indeed, although they tend to be poorer than the average, religious people have more offspring than the rest of the population.
Example 2:
Example 3: If I'd asked her, Mortica would have agreed to marry me.
And you?

Ah, except the pious types are lured away by the perks of the decadent heathen life, so they're working hard to populate "both sides", you might say! Hm, it's hard to think of specific things I am convinced of. I would say I am unsure about many things in life but I feel pretty certain about atheistic and anarchistic ideas. Ok, so I feel deeply convinced that God is imaginary?

I believe we are progressing, that we live better than yesterday and that the future will be great. I feel so lonely in that belief, because I see most people is just waiting for the end of the world to come.

On the other hand, people from large families tend to fall from faith more easily.

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

I am convinced of my inability to become convinced.

We gave up your happiness
Your hope would be enough;
we couldn't find neither;
we made up sorrows for ourselves;
we couldn't be consoled;

I am convinced that I will never reach 100 posts and OSU will win every football game for next 1000 years.
