Trouble is many get their inspirations thoughts and feelings from the lower energy sex driven centers within which generate animal instincts of survival above the rest of humanity. IF that gets into their mind and beliefs you get depravity being let loose.

People who can still think clearly and can stay above those lower energies can be quite rare these days.

Rarer still are ones who get their inspirations thoughts and feelings through the higher level energies of love.
I'm living proof that you can have a great life without god, jesus, the bible or religion, et al. Why not be an original and follow your own "path"? I'd like to believe that i'm as intelligent in my own way as anyone else who's ever lived on the planet, worshiping man/deities and/or following someone else's "path" just seems asinine to me.

There's a lot to be said for doing your own work and living your life the way you want to.
