This I Believe

This I believe is an unpredictable, yet foreseeable predicament; a world where we all believe when we prefer to, yet fail to trust when we prefer not to; a world where ethics and morals seem to exist, yet, somehow, corruption and greed continue to thrive. This I know is a world where karma, the ying and yang, and even fate exist. This I claim is a universe where Allah, Buddha, Shiva, and Christ all exist, yet sometimes seize to exist; where sin and virtue are unavoidable. This I think is an earth where the strong survive, yet the weak, somehow, fail to fall. This I understand is a place where birth and death; love and hate; greed and moderation; logic and abstraction; unity and opposition; and truth and deception are inevitable; a place where black and white is inevitable, yet gray persists. This I suppose is a world in which everyone is different, yet is also so similar. This I believe is a complex, yet simple matrix.
