The human soul usually has no default alignment, so I decided to align with God. I can't say for sure what anyone thinks but me, but does God solve this? I believe he does, and that belief has been innate since before my birth. In this context, I'm vulnerable to attack from all sides, even if you know just a fraction of what I do. Within this existence are multiple choices with equal outcomes, which is irrelevant because the choice has paid dividends.
How can I even prove the existence of a soul? I can't. Like the beast and their instincts, my soul is my every being; if you don't feel this, you may not have a soul. Maybe you are the blessed one. Either way, my journey continues. The soul guides me to seek. Seeking is the act of searching for something. In my search, my Father found me. The Father is who I align with the holy spirit possesses my soul because I believe the Messiah of men has died for our sins and risen once more. Every time I think of the destiny of Christ, it almost brings me to the point of tears. I realize that the gospel is beautiful.

Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ac12c6_6fcf1233f8fe444b8d67ffcccdec6567~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_980,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/ac12c6_6fcf1233f8fe444b8d67ffcccdec6567~mv2.jpg)
To me, God is true benevolence. René Descartes, one of the most influential philosophers of the 17th century, coined the famous statement, "I think, therefore I am" (cogito ergo sum). His existence as a thinking being was the one certainty he could not systematically doubt. I understand this solipsism as a fundamental truth, but then the question arises: what about everything and everyone else? Descartes answers this by beginning with the clear and distinct idea of a perfect, non-deceiving God in his mind. He reasoned that such an ideal idea could only come from a perfect being - God itself. Since God is perfect, it would not deceive by implanting false perceptions. Therefore, Descartes' clear sensory experiences, like feeling cold, must correspond to some external, physical reality. He inferred he had a body part of that external world from his sensations. Observing other bodies behaving alike implied they, too, had minds. Thus, Descartes used the idea of a non-deceiving God to bridge from the certainty of his own mind's existence to proving an external reality with other existing minds, overcoming solipsism. God's benevolence reigns upon us; he is the king of kings, the one truth.

My belief in the truth will be my ultimate demise. Morally, the alignment I choose is that of the virgin's son. Therefore, I will be ridiculed and beaten from all sides in his name.
My choice now leads me to health in the fear of God because whether on earth or in heaven, he is the constant. I only fear no longer receiving his benevolence. I've errored in my life quite frequently, but that is how my Father found me. Due to his never-ending love, he still grants me benevolence. He knew me even in the womb and has given me and everything in this universe benevolence. For that, I'm genuinely grateful. I am never in doubt and wish for my soul never to be forsaken by God. I will do this by works from now until the arrival of the Kingdom forever.
