Questionning your Beliefs

Gah! I had written an long article and then it gets deleted by the freaking system. I'll try to repost it again. Here goes:

There's a song in the Broadway Musical called Avenue Q entitled the Money Song. The lyrcics go:

When you help others,
You can’t help helping yourself!
Every time you
Do good deeds
You’re also serving
Your own needs.
When you help others,
You're really helping yourself!

Sounds selfish I know but it's the truth. After a series of life-changing events (ok, they weren't that life changing but still, they got me thinking), I decided to reach out to some friends that I hadn't talked to in a while to compare notes. We've talked about everything from life to love to sex and faith.

It's amazing but questioning your beliefs can either make you change them or adhere to them even more. I've written three articles so far (including this one) in the last few hours because I'm trying to figure out just what I believe in. More than that, it's made me feel more complete knowing just what my points of view are.

Some people might think that questionning your beliefs is asking for trouble. I don't think that's the case. Sure, you may end up forsaking what you once held dear but then wouldn't it be better holding on to something and knowing the reason why?

So, dear reader, if you have some questions, why not drop them here and let's see where they lead.
