Which story will you choose?

I never did, because they are just stories to me. If believe is based on someone else's encounters then I suppose that is just borrowed faith. Then again, one's own encounter need not necessarily answer his/her questions on faith. The constant tussle between believing in self and a divine being is the basis of faith, whether you truly concede to the fact that what you went through was not achievable by you but only through a higher power only to realize the matter of fact is that you went through it.

Faith. Substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Without doubt, its impossible to have faith. Yet to have true faith, there should be no doubt. Exactly why it is such a unimaginable concept.

However, it is not a concept we are not too unfamiliar with. We live with it every single day. We go to sleep having faith that we will wake the next day, we have faith in the bus driver to bring us to our destination, we have faith in our friends to not let us down when we need them. Taking out the word faith, we can replace it with the word trust. Is that what encapsulates faith, The ability to trust? I guess not.

Faith is belief, the stubborn kind, where when all things fail you still hold on to it. Trust is not unbreakable.

Semantics, i guess.
