Do you have FAITH?

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable

~H.L. Mencken

I woke up one day, stricken by life's complexities and difficulties. The thought of it made me shiver, it's undenying that life in this world in general is getting worse each day. I don't have to paint in your mind the horrendous events breaking on the news. Neither the poor nor the rich could escape from this wrath. Everyone has it's burden (as you read this, i know you're going to reflect on yourself, what's troubling you at the moment) to face and handle. Reality check, they say that to live each day is a grand thing but we have to acknowledge the fact that sadness is mundane, that sailing rough is not out of the ordinary anymore.

At times, we are crushed by the many tests in our journey, sorrows almost unbearable to handle and it's as if, we can no longer move our foot forward to face what's going to happen next. Emotions deepen especially when our focus seems endless along the horizon, where muted silence is the only company in our grief and the longing for constant happiness slowly vanishes within our hopes of hope.

Above all these, we are still alive. Enduring, forever battling what life has to offer. I asked myself how come i'm still in to it?, how come i've gone this far?. It boiled down to one of the moral foundations established as early as childhood. That each day that passes by, this moral judgment is being cultivated, where conviction on it's power increases as experience flows, as the tests of life transpires in every moment - to prove something and would always light a piece of wisdom that is somehow carved in the heart. I call it FAITH, it is believing and holding-on to things yet to happen. It is the solemnity and peacefulness of the mind and heart to things unseen. Things unseen that are impossible for the human mind to decipher and grasp, yet you have the prowess to believe in it signifies that you have faith.

In all walks of life, we have our own unique culture. Unique ways on how faith got established inside of us. I know what i believe, i know what i'm holding-on to. I know the promise - it's not yet delivered, it's unseen at the moment, intangible like the wind. But i have faith in it.

How about you? Do you know what you are waiting for?
