Well, there is a difference between belief and fact. If religion or spirituality help than use them. I do, the spirituality part, anyways. The difference between the religion and spirituality, I think? Religion is for people that don’t want to go to hell, spirituality is for those that have gone through it.
I just get concerned when beliefs are passed off as facts. The sad thing is that there are “spiritual predators” that take advantage of vulnerable people. Suggest, not preach.
Do I believe that ADD is an evolutionary thing so that nature ensures the development human race? Yes. Do I believe that some people can be “gifted” for some unknowable reason? Sure. Because if nature leaves everything to the “neuro-norms” (neurologically normal – a phrase I heard someone with Asperger’s Syndrome describing other people – but I think it describes non ADDer’s accurately) I think we’re doomed to pretty boring, drab, mediocre existence with no excitement. And maybe no future.
Sometimes in my deepest despair when people do not understand what I go through everyday, I tell myself that ADDers will make the world a better place. We’ll leave it better than we found it. Would the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast happened if an ADDer were in charge? I’d like to think not; we would have figured this kind of thing will happen and been more proactive in finding solutions for problems that will/can occur.
Foresight: a wonderful thing. It’s no wonder that when limited to linear thinking or are only viewing the world from a spreadsheet that things go badly wrong. It’s just a matter of time.
I hope this helps and good luck
