Belief

[crosspostd from elixxir's LJ]

I forget where I read this, but it sums up my thoughts pretty well.

"I hope the universe is random, because I can cope with the idea that all this shit happens by chance, and I haven't done anything to deserve all this bad stuff."

I don't believe what goes around comes around. I don't think there's a higher power calling the shots.

I believe that honesty, integrity, and some hard work (and maybe a bit of luck, which is also something of a DIY commodity) will reward you with success.

I believe that being selfish isn't immoral, it's imperative - if you don't look out for you, who else is going to? I believe in me first, you second. I believe my senses, not some oft-revised book a couple thousand years old. I believe empirical proof, but am open to wonder.

And I think W.C. Fields was THE MAN when he said, "Everyone should believe something. I believe I'll have another drink."

I'm an irredeemably eejitous, liberal, tight as fuck, pathetically simple-minded, dribbling child!
See how compatible you are with me!
