a total desertion of or departure from one’s religion, principles, party, or cause
They make it sound like such a bad thing
That you should be shunned if you expand your horizons, change and move on
But that’s what thinking beings do
We grow
We expand
To think that you must stay the same and believe the same forever and ever
Is called stagnation
It’s called being stuck
Closed minded
Stunted
I’m not saying that institutions don’t serve a purpose, for they certainly do
But to try to maintain a course of rigid belief, well,
That, I believe is what drives people to insanity
Trying to control, having strong opinions, imposing them on others as if them believing makes you feel better about believing
The problem I have though, is that those who do broaden their horizons,
Are subsequently shunned by those that do not
Intelligent people
Enslaved to their gods/thoughts/belief systems
And it’s families who suffer
An emotional rift
All because of choosing an illusion over reality
Apostasy
A condition created solely by mind control and restrictions
Sad
