~Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd rather Believe~
So some say that faith is a waste of time, something that we don't need, that is useless in this modern world. To those people, I would stop whatever I was doing and ask them how they can say that. How can we wake up to that brilliant sun every morning, watch amazing moments all through the day, and go to bed without any sort of belief in something higher? How do you find love for the first time and not believe that there is something higher above us all? For I do not know how someone can just lose their faith, suddenly forget and move on. I just don't know and I hope that I never will understand that. It is something that is inside of us all, uniquely and individually, something we all have to come to grips with totally on our own. Our faith depends on how much we believe in ourselves and how much we need that faith in our lives. Though still, I beleive that faith is more than just believing in God or not, it is a lifestyle, a choice, a direction, a specific path we choose for ourselves and then base our lives around that. And yet, there are many people in this world with incredible morals and wonderful, pure ideas that have no faith at all, however, is their life as full as it could be? Or are they missing something very important in their day to day lives? And when they die, what is it that they will long for? But I guess we never know and perhaps I am totally wrong is believing what I beleive, in praying to a God I think I know. Maybe there is no life after death, perhaps we are not here for a reason, perhaps this world was not a creation, but an evolution of life. But isn't that sad and unfulfiilling to believe that? For even if I am totally wrong, and my faith is a huge mistake, a sad and committed joke, I would rather live believing in something higher and something ahead of me, than to live life wondering if there is more to see? I would always regret not having that extra push in my day, or that peaceful hour on Sundays during mass, the holiest time I can ever be a part of. So yes, maybe I am stupid to believe what I believe, but the truth is that my faith is what guides my life, what pushes me to succeed and what holds my hand when I need a little help. It is my guiding force day after day and it is my stepping stone through life, guiding me, leading me, pushing me on. So my faith is in a sense, my path through life, showing me what to do and what not to do and so far... it's led me pretty well.
