Could it be that we now live in an age when the concept of faith is losing it's strength and mystique?
Faith...believing in something/someone without necessarily having the luxury of solid proof. Could the absence of faith in our lives be beneficial to us so that we only react to things with solid evidence? We live in a very scientifically structured train of thought don't we? Everything has to be subject to a series of questions and the result must (and I mean must) but the most absolute logically sound result ever known in the existence of the earth. Although I'm not fully opposed to this train of thought, I do feel that faith is something that we need to go back to and have it with us. Perhaps we need to have a strong hold of both faith and reason in order to get the most out of the universe in which we are blessed to be a part of. Faith can bring out the absolute best version of yourself.
Perhaps, and this is only just a thought, the generation in which I am a part of has become a generation filled with fear and a horrible phobia of not being ahead on the world. This tender time of life when we are to start building upon our futures really can put us in very deprived place. Faith becomes merely another object tossed into the back seat. The same faith that directly deals with who we truly are, the same faith that gives us strength we may have doubts...poof, goes away. The concept of faith starts have a foolish connotation in our newly developed realm consisting of a universal method of "bad ass". Why faith? Faith doesn't guarantee us anything does it? Unfortunately, we need everything now...instantly, and our existence is starting to base itself around instant gratification. Shouldn't we exist as who we want to be? Understanding who we are and having faith in our lives?
Even if faith may lead to uncertainty, faith has to be present. The lack of faith is killing us. Forgetting that faith is important is killing us. Looking upon those with faith with disdain is killing us. It's killing us because when we forget about faith, we stop a very important human function. And to stop our nature is to die. TO quit existing in the way were meant to be. We weren't meant to be perfect and we can't be perfect. To be open to uncertainty requires a lot of strength that most people don't have and undoubtedly I have been weak as well.
I will not be bashful when I say faith is what we need. We need to believe! We have to be ourselves.
