Thinking about beliefs

I discovered a secret so true today
It made be stop and rethink my philosophy
We all need affection, a connection
To be appreciated and to stop misdirection
Misdirection that maybe stunts our growth
That we use in our world, to hold back our feelings
Or maybe to stop the status quo, from unreeling
Our beliefs we can change, with a fight and struggle
If we recognise they are outmoded they are causing us trouble
We make excuses for not taking action
Because maybe morally it causes dissention
We need to love ourselves did I mention
