Someone who doesn't know their own interests has no beliefs.
In reality, your beliefs are the governing dynamic of your interests.
I believe in bettering myself
Morality is to ethics as beliefs are to interests.
You don't know how to better yourself.
You lack conviction.
If i believe it helps me it does
Heroine addicts believe drugs help them.
And they do, in the moment it is achieving how they want to feel
But addicts let the drugs own them
Instead of owning the drugs
Just like you let ignorance own you.
You're ok with not knowing what you want.
That's all because you don't have what you need.
All i know is that i want to improve myself
Yet you fail to recognize what an improvement is.
Willfully.
What do i gain from recognizing it?
Improvement itself...accomplishment and inevitable evolution.
All of which stems from conviction.
God.
If i recognize an authority above me that i must abide to i lose ownership of myself
Morality is ownership of oneself.
Morality is a constraint
No, it is freedom.
You will do as you please without having a second thought.
You will never think of the "what" ever again.
Only the "why" and "how".
Imagine never hesitating.
That is the power of conviction.
The power of God.
As a human being, you are bound by one thing...judgement.
That judgement is by both oneself and by your peers.
Rather than deny your natural binding, you can turn your ball and chain into the greatest weapon ever wielded.
Nothing is greater.
That is the power of God.
Through conviction alone, you go from judged to the judge.
What more is God than the judge of humanity?
Whether the people understand this or not, every person has one choice between two options.
1. God=conviction
