“I’m attending a free talk now. Very cultish. Anytime now they might net me in.” text Dr Vet.
“LoL. What free talk is this? Sounds like MLM to me.” I replied.
“The founder claims to be reincarnation of Buddha” he said.
As a buddhist,I know very well that there is no such thing as reincarnation of Buddha. It’s pure con man gimmick. But according to Dr Vet, this so called buddhist society is supposingly famous for “human happiness”. Now, that catch my eye. Human Happiness? *thinking hard*
It is no wonder that there’s so many claims and exclamation around us. No matter if it’s based on truth, or falsely made up, people tend to believe in it.
While some people out there claimed that religion is only a political ways to control people, a lot of people out there seek religions for enlightenment, especially when they are “lost” or wanted to find themselves. Others, decidedly not wanting to be part of any religion, thus “Free Thinker” (although some part of them do seek God for tips).
It makes me think for awhile. People will believe you if you tell it like you believe in your own words, especially when you tell it out loud confidently. Eventhough it’s false. And the easiest way to spread your “believes” is through another human,whom will spread it out to another person confidently. I suppose that’s how rumours go around quicker than anything else! People tend to believe rumours more than facts!!!
That boils down to when one need to present in front of all the eyes, be it on stage, or in front of the meeting room. I always have such problems, presenting to clients in front of the room, standing. But if I am to sit down and talk, I convinced them easier.
It’s always the gulps and the “err” with blank minds when you see so many eyes on you. But as long as you believe in yourself, people around you will believe in you.
Yeah. Believe in myself.
