Do you ever ask God forgivness for your sins?

I realused last 30 days I was fasting that I never ever properly asked God to forgive my sins. Think that I am almost 40.

Maybe I was always thinking God is all forgiving and mercifull and he will forgive me. But never thought of actually asking.

Last 30 days thats what I did every day. Maybe this is the key for happy life.

Nope. I ask to find a way to become better, I ask for the serenity to flow with the Universe and the courage to face whatever comes along in that current.

Sin is the reflection of a parental mindset; it divides and creates hierarchies and tiers of worthiness. "Sin" implies we have morally offended someone.

We're humans. Animals, no different than beasts of burden, primates or sea creatures. If a lion doesn't rise in the morning to hunt, it will starve. There's no moral judgement to that, merely cause and effect. Likewise, that sated lion may later fall over a cliff without reason; again, no moral judgement, merely wind and poor balance.

What we put into the Universe, we get out. If you swim in dead waters, your return will be nothing. If you flow with a living, breathing current teeming with life and possibilities, anything can happen. I will spend a human lifetime of Stay of Grass, Quiet Please, No Coolers and Must Be This Tall. There's no way my eternity's going to be filled with it.
