Thou Shalt Not Limit Thyself

Over the years, I have come to appreciate that some of our problems, include self-limitation and the fear of change; though we mouth it, “The only thing permanent in life is change.” We limit ourselves in more ways than one. We limit ourselves when we gullibly accept other people’s ideas, without thinking. Why should anyone call the way we were, our culture and heritage, idolatry? What is religion, and who created it? From all that we have heard, religion wasn’t in creation. So, is religion the after-thought of the creator, or the after-thought of man?

Before I continue, let me share this with you.  A husband came home one day, and excitedly told his wife, “Honey, I have changed jobs again.” Angrily, the wife asked, “What do you mean by you have changed jobs again? When will you ever have a permanent job?” The husband looked at his wife admirably, smiled and asked, “But honey, what is permanent in life? Are we permanent? Can you imagine, how many times I have changed, from being a sperm to becoming your husband?”
