If there is anything that I could say that I believe in, that would be spirits. I believe that they exist, maybe in a totally different dimension, but they have the ability to travel between the dimensions. And these are not ghosts. I don't think that ghosts exist. But spirits do. Fire spirits, water spirits, wind spirits, earth spirits... even love spirits and hatred spirits.
Maybe that's because of my interest in asian culture. Maybe that's the influence of all the fantasy books that I've read. Maybe not. But sometimes I feel their presence, I feel that someone is watching over me. I smile unconsciously when I look at the stars, at fire or at water. Not only because it's beautiful, but because I believe that it looks right back at me. And I don't want to stop believing that.
Are they gods? Are they a part of some kind of religion? No, they are just there. Co-existing with humans, but living in a parallel world. They are part of nature maybe? Humans built the world. Everything that we see now was built by humans. Human mind holds a great power. And together with this power, the power of logic, there comes the power of creativity. Here lies the key to understanding all these "spiritualistic" things. Although there are people who call this "occultism" and some other stuff. Connecting it to their own opinions about what's good and what's bad. Judging the others who have different opinions.
I believe in spirits. That's all. I don't worship them, I don't worship anything. I just acknowledge their existence. Because our world becomes even a more beautiful place if we believe that the fire in a lantern actually smiles at us when we do the same.
Legends are beautiful.
And at the heart of every legend, there is a grain of truth.
