(no subject)
The lights fade, lonliness, darkness awake. What lies beyond torks the grasp of goodness still at hand. Engulfed in sorrow and missery; falling forever. In the black we lose all hold we had on what was still bright in our lives.
Dont fall. Hold on. Stand up.
I hate being alone.
Have faith. Isnt that a funny word? Look at it and say it slowly a few times. What does it mean..? What does it "really" mean. "I have faith in you." "I believe in my faith."
FAITH, n.
Belief; the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared by another, resting on his authority and veracity, without other evidence; the judgment that what another testifies is the truth. I have strong faith or no faith in the testimony of a witness, or in what a historian narrates.
The assent of the mind to the truth of a proposition advanced by another; belief, on probable evidence of any kind.
So...is faith based on what "others" believe and say to be true...? Lets look at this in a religious point of view (oh my favorite...). If you believe in your "faith..." that must mean you believe in what someone or something else declares to be true, based on their higher authority and/or judgment or word alone..? Religions are kind of like cults...ey? Followers of the priests or popes. No free minds there...
Maybe I'm wrong and just rambling, but whatever.
Am I the only one bothered by this..?
Gawd I think I really hate that word...
