The World Is So Messed Up
I have been reading all these posts on this diary and they make me so sad. All these people have such sad lives. I have had my share or maybe more of troubles. But I'm not hopeless like so many seem to be. How can the world be so hopeless? All I can say is, there is hope. There is joy too. I have found joy in God. I know that sounds corny and stupid, but it's so true. If people would just try trusting in God they would understand. I mean, what have you got to lose? It's not like once you start you have to pray everyday for the rest of your life. If you just try it, you can stop if it doesn't work. But I have to say, it works. I don't really have a great life, especially right now when we're so poor. But I am so happy. And I am loved. I just wanted to write a happy diary entry, since all the others were so sad. The world can be a beautiful, joyful place.

It's great you've found joy in your faith and wanted to write a happy post. Unfortunately some people are not raised with beliefs as strong as yours. It can be difficult to find faith in God if one is not raised with it, as I imagine it would be difficult for myself. Sometimes the darkness gets in the way of any hope. Sometimes people who believe still get angry at God because they're so desperate. But it was nice of you to say that.
I think you're doing non-religious people a great disservice by assuming they can't feel hope or joy. I've lived through things you can't possibly know about, but I have hope and faith in myself and the people around me. An intangible God may be your answer, but it's not the only answer.
I agree with above. You know, I'd love to find faith in God, if there was a believing bone in my body. It's not that I don't believe in good, or have faith that things work themselves out. I literally cannot believe in a higher power. I would love to, but I cannot sincerely do so. It's not because of some traumatic even. It's not because I don't have faith in the world. It's because this was all a happy beautiful accident. We can find faith in a lot of things, it doesn't have to be God. Either way, I'm glad that God has helped you so much. Your heart is in the right place, and I respect your message. If there is a God, I like to think that (s)he will recognize that most of us are goodhearted people.
