The intelligent are so limited

I've developed a theory recently... It's less that i discovered it, but more than i've come to realize it. In this world we live in, it seems that those who are more intelligent, or those who question more than others, are often more limited in a sense. These are the people who don't believe in religion, believe in magic, and never let their minds wander. I found that i don't believe in god, but i really envy those who do. It makes me feel limited. I wish i had the faith that others did, but i simply dont. I cannot fullheartedly believe in something that i do not have absolute proof for. Also, needless to say, i dont believe in magic lol. Or magic and/or psychic abilities... Some who share my views might say that i have absolute control over my life now, and i dont believe in the false. But i think that these fairy tales make life beautiful. What im saying is that, people who believe in magic, religion and the such have much fuller lives. Their minds can wander to any corner of the world without being tethered down to the realm of possibility. I envy those people. They are closer to nirvana than i could ever hope to be in my lifetime. (Disclaimer, i am merely presenting my views and this is not to say that religion of any sort is wrong, i myself just dont believe in it. Believe and let believe. Nothing that can give someone so much hope and happiness could ever be a bad thing. I wish i had faith...)

I think to have an opened mind in these matters is a plus, I used to be closed minded about certain spiritual things such as spiritual readers abnd such and set out to even prove them as frauds but i was shocked with what i came across and it opened my mind...i am deep thinker as I have said many times in here with religion I find it hard simply because each religion has its own book, there can only be one original one so which one is it...I don't believe in man made churches as I feel if they were doing gods work there doors would always be opened...so i do have an opened mind but i think deeply and a little proof goes a long way with me...

Before i start off, i would like to say you are one of the people i envy =] Your open mindedness and ability to believe in things must make life so much richer for you! I myself spend a deal of my time questioning whats been handed to me on a religious level. I guess if you question everything, youll never enjoy what it offers =] And i would like to say also, i think i made an error in saying that the intelligent are so limited, maybe i meant to say those who question so much, or even close minded. I dont conssider myself close minded because while i dont believe in religion, i accept it as somethign wonderful. Thank you for your response =]

it may be your view. but i think always the case is not like that. they are gifted than other people. they take the life in more mature way than the others, they have nice presence of mind and so.
