We are all shaped by our experiences, by the "information" we are fed and by the opinions of others. To one extent or another. We not islands entire of ourselves. We are an amalgam of everything we "experience" through our senses, intellect, emotions. Different strokes for different folks. Some ridicule a belief in "miracles". Others have no doubt there are such things. Some ridicule a belief in a Supreme Being. Others get strength from their beliefs. Some experience joy daily. Others have never experienced joy We are not the same. That is a very good thing. Don'tcha think?
