Ambition

Blind faith in an absolute being is much more easily disposed of than my petty middle class ambitions. It has become a daily struggle and one battle I am not sure I'll win.

The worst part is that people close to me are more hurt by my apparent indifference to their preconceived notions of ambition and success than by my lack of faith in a religion or my questioning the existence of a God.

On a good note, at least I know that they have their hearts in the right place - in what they perceive as my well being rather than judge me on what I believe in or rather what I don't believe in.
