Ever stop to wonder what’s in a simple day like today? There’s no guarantee that today will bring about anything substantial. In fact, today could be a big flop on the ground and no one would notice. I don’t know how any of that tends to work out though. It’s life right? Oh life, what are you even on about? I don’t understand you at times. It would be nice to be able to grasp something, even if it’s out of thin air, to understand and realize what that’s all about. But alas I cannot do that. It is life after all, and we cannot really understand anything that comes our way. If I had the ability to realize my own potential, I think I could benefit from it all. But I don’t know how to do that. It’s a shame really, to want to be able to do something with this life and then to be stuck without any reason for it? Yeah, no bueno.
Let’s get the definition of a Social Construct out of the way first:
A social construct is an idea, concept, or category that exists not in objective reality, but rather because a society collectively agrees to acknowledge, uphold, and treat it as real through ongoing human interaction.
Make sense to everyone? Okay then. Here’s my thought process:
Religion is a Social Construct. It can’t exist without the willing acknowledgement of others. If it was one person who believed that religion was real? That would be something completely different. But if an entire group, or in this case a good portion of the world, believes in something? Then it exists.
It’s an interesting thought to say the least. I highly doubt people would go as far as believing something if they truly didn’t believe it existed though. So the thought process has to run deep, doesn’t it. I doubt there’s a way to make an entire section of people not believe in something. I highly doubt that’s possible. Is it easier to believe in something than to have disbelief? I’m not sure.
