For a lot of folks, religion is just another accoutrement without much thinking involved at the onset or ever. However, I think most people do put some thought into what they're going to do with their lives: typically, we take the time to weigh our options before plunging into this or that field.
My thought along the trance-like existence train, ...[text shortened]... all begin to follow the steps without really thinking of how our lives are being spilled out?
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign...'
Blame is better to give than receive
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotus land
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill

To strings nay
For strings are lesser and Gods we are
Beyond the stars are clouds still for sight is limited just
Walk me thee to the alter
Gracefully as this were the end. But a beginning for the end is now
Courage, strength, need want and be.
Happiness?
Stay
Love those you can and those you do.
For it counts
Illusion maybe
But illusive in illusive happiness.
Selfish –choose.
Farewell but stay
Be you will
Preordained; = destiny; life Fate
Pray you will choose
Naïve!
The lesser do pray to the supernatural and divine.
For their path depends on.
Live as if you did live stay like you stayed
Ignorance is bliss
Sand, Anthills –mountains
Celestial?
Schizophrenia
Imperfect and incomplete
Pardon me
Cripple?
Just be and be as you May for all you know is that you are.
That you are is but a hope that you are sure that you are not NOT.

In another short-lived thread, homedepotov posted the following, which I thought deserved a closer examination:
[b]We are all in a trance state due to the hypnosis of social conditioning.
It made me think about my own life and routine, wondering if the things I do are by choice or by unthinking subservience to an unnamed dance.[/b]
