Do you think its easy to change your ways and keep it to and how do you feel about change?
Me, i think its real easy to change your ways and dwell within it. My past life wasnt that great, but right now i am doing what i am suppose to be doing, not 100% , but i'm almost there.
And i think because GOD wants us to change our ways, we should do it. Living your life correctly makes you feel great inside.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I a person should be true themselves.....People think too much, and don't listen too their inner gut or feeling much...they push them aside..at that point they really aren't being true to themselves.
And for many people...when they are children they pray to god when when they need help, as they get older they try to follow the rituals trying to please god....do gods will....maybe gods will is for you to be true to yourself...
Thats true that living our life correctly make us feel great, and we donīt need a religion to tell us how to live. The problem is that people cannot think independently they need a religion to tell them what to do. Spirituality is something that you do alone with yourself, there is no need for a institution.
Truly there is no need for an institution....it is a personal journey to each...I feel the more true you are to yourself, the more positives you will find in your life...IF you listen to what your inner self and feeling included are saying.....not what the logical mind is telling you...that to me is only a mechanism...not what you truly are....
The logical mind will always fight with the part of "you" that is truly your essence....
I think the greatest challenge for human beings is to be living in the here and now...stop creating thoughts about the present moment....When you come to each moment cleanly, without previous thoughts about it, you can create who you are, rather than reenact who you once were...Life is a process of creation, and we keep living it as if it were a process of reenactment...
Like the 2 words...Same letterers, yet quite different meanings....
REACTIVE
CREATIVE
Feeling from your gut, helps you know which is the path to go...which fights with your logical mind which wants to reenact...
Thats what I think too... we should learn to observe the present moment without thinking about it... try to see it as how we feel about it, maybe that can show us things that we donīt see normally. The act of thinking, and judging prevents us too see things in determined perspectives.
I agree that people tend to judge things too much, are too biased, and perhaps use logic too much...However logic is still a part of life that needs to be used just like anything else, I think a buddhist would agree with that.
