Many Sources: A Religious Source Or A Magical Source

Decent Essays
People believe in many sources. It could be a religious source or a magical source. I believe that there is one, true person who listens to me in my time of need. But, that was not always the case for me. There was a time where I needed help and it was not given to me.

My mother explained to me that a machine was basically breathing for her. That was a really hard time for my family and I.

    I was born and grew up in Vietnam, in which Buddhism is dominated in my culture. I sometimes question about my beliefs by asking myself why I am doing this instead of that, or why I think doing this is right and doing that is wrong. I gradually realize that my actions and thoughts are profoundly shaped by a set of core beliefs, which are influenced by my family, culture, and especially religion. In this paper, I will discuss my beliefs about text and scripture in religion, moral actions and consequences, life after death, helping people, and loving our parents. First of all, I believe that it is helpful, but not required to know the text and scripture in order to believe in a religion.…

    Another experience I encountered was a 5-day-old baby boy who had a hypoxic brain injury that precluded a recovery, but the rest of his organs were still viable.

Such experiences sad or good could be hard, but as with most things I love, I opted to view the difficulties as challenges and have thus remained devoted in my choice of specialty.…
