Wyki - Project Interfaith Video #1
Reflection questions this week:
What does service mean to you?
Why do you want to participate in this project?
What do you hope to get out of it?
Wyki, thank you for sharing! You seem very independent and certain of yourself in your beliefs, somewhat in contrast with a few others here. Did anyone or anything guide you to your current beliefs? My mother, who is Christian, asked me to dream of orange & green when I was sick as a child so I would heal and grow. I never understood it, but I did it. In some ways, it was part of her "service" to me.
I appreciate your ideas and your belief in the interconnectedness of life...because ultimately, isn't that what it is all about? It is that very notion that drives my ideas of service.
I agree with your notion of spirituality being a much more personal thing than organized religion often allows. I think your beliefs are beautiful, and that we really are all one in the same.
I like how you think no one is wrong, i feel this is a pretty bold thing to say considering almost everyone else can find someway to disagree with that statement. And the way i see it you just got to be like Atticus Finch and walk in some one elses shoes.
Hi, Wyki!
I am sooo glad to hear a young person so open-minded! I am glad to hear you say "no one is wrong" about their beliefs. I have a daughter around your age and have been trying to tell her that. She has strange beliefs, but I encourage her to embrace them, and not be taken over with "guilt" which she sometimes does. We used to hold to a form of religion that was very restrictive, and she is still "recovering" from that. Do you have any words of wisdom I can pass along to her? Her religious beliefs involve living sacrifices, so it is a little odd, but would love to get your advice, so I can give her another point of view. Thank you sooo much!!!
