Prompt: #3. Do you believe in God?
Word Count: 383
Open to roleplay: Yes.
I want to believe in the existence of God or some power that is there to help humanity muddle through this life. I want to be able to be that innocent again and have that sort of faith once more – I just don’t have it in me anymore. My lease on faith ran out what feels like years ago and now I have to trust in the imperfect, in humanity itself.
As a theory, this sounds all well and good. In practice, it’s not necessarily going well.
I’m not sure I mind that because it’s become my bread and butter. If it wasn’t for the imperfections of human beings, I wouldn’t have employment. As long as imperfect human beings keep committing crimes and I don’t fall by the wayside of my own imperfections (and they are slowly becoming legion, rising up from the past and the darkness inside to try and ensnare me), then I will have a reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other on the side of whatever gods or angels there may be in this world.
Still, I can’t help but want to believe that there are those out there who are like the lights in the wilderness for the lost. I’m not sure if God sent them or made them that way or if it’s just who they are because of happenstance. In either case, if it wasn’t for the ones I know now and all the others like them throughout the years, I’m sure I’d have a very different and far more tragic story to tell.
Having reread this, I’m not sure I answered the question at all. I did say this was a tough question and I could give a much more involved philosophical answer. Why though? As I said at the beginning, I want to believe. It will have to be enough.
