I just feel it’s a state of mind that helps a lot of people get by in life, especially those less fortunate than some.
I’ve seen people live in extreme poverty yet still have smiles on their faces and are content with life. They have a belief in a higher power and it seems to get them by. Neither rational thought or blind faith will feed their kids but the latter seems to help them more. I don’t think that’s a bad thing whether we agree with it or not.
In terms of envying people I probably should have tried to explain this better.
I’ve been bought up around a very small religion that I think is amazing and was way ahead of its time. For a medevil religion to teach genders equality and there is no such as thing as caste and class etc was groundbreaking. (Stuff that’s the norm now).
Those that practise it are some of the most amazing people i have ever come across.
Its probably that religion and those people that I envy.
