In all of the world, that which we cannot see is the most disturbing. From our birth until we pass from this life, we are confronted with things that we cannot see. In all things we strive to find understanding, but seldom do we grasp the scope or gravity of what we cannot sense. It is in this that we define ourselves. It is in this that we are tested. For faith is not just something that we learn in a school or read in a book, it is the ideal that there is something greater than ourselves. Whether you believe in luck, divinity or predestinate events, you must grasp on to something. For to live with out any belief is to not have lived at all. Some believe in perfect love while others believe in their luck. All hold to something whether we will admit it or not, but in the end, faith is the core of our being for to have no faith is to forget hope and to cease to live. If all there is in life is to merely exist, then life has no point and death is preferable to the emptiness of living without faith in something.
