I am trying

I am trying to say a word.
It just would not come.
I have it in my mind.
My heart choses to deny.

I am trying to understand.
It just doesn't make sense.
My heart tells me right.
My mind tells me wrong.


I am trying to be happy.
It just have to happen.
My heart tells me you are.
My mind tells me you will.


I am trying to love you.
It is wonderful.
My heart feels warm.
My mind is secure.

Reasons believers are more resilient than non-believers

  Belief—whether religious, spiritual, or deeply philosophical—can act like emotional scaffolding during life’s storms. Here are some compelling reasons why people with a belief system often demonstrate greater resilience: Sense of Purpose and Meaning Believers often interpret suffering as part of a larger narrative or divine plan. This framing can transform pain into purpose, making adversity feel less arbitrary and more endurable. Hope Anchored in Something Greater Faith provides a long-view perspective. Instead of being crushed by present hardship, believers often hold onto the hope that better days—or eternal peace—lie ahead. Community and Support Networks Religious or spiritual communities offer built-in social support.
