It seems sometimes that words and ideas are not anything at all. You can say one thing and mean another, while being something completely different. The electrical connections, the rapid impulse that comprise our thoughts, are there to form a singular presence. When we express ourselves, is it solely ourselves we are expressing?
If I were to say to a religious man that he were God, he would not simply modestly disagree, he would take it as an insult, a blasphemous proposition. But if I were to say God is in all of us, he would smile and nod in profound understanding. Are these two philosophies not redundant? Where did we lose the ability to express ourselves and the mind as a whole? It has become so strict to some, maybe most, to speak of certain things in more than one context and be in agreement with both. Pick one side, pick a color, pick and choose. When you do we all lose.
The goal of life is not to tread water waiting to be saved. Nor is the trick to learn to swim. The key is to rise above and walk on the water. Be your own God. Save yourself. But do recall that no man is an island, and when the weight of others starts to bring us down, we must hold our breath, close our eyes, and know that when we are ready to breathe and start anew, we become fish.
