When I started posting on faith a while back I said that I had faith in many things (though not much religious faith). One can have faith in so many things...
The intentions of others
That the world won't be destroyed overnight
That ones life will improve
That one will not get sucked down that hole forever... etc.I have seen people who have faith where I would be consumed by despair. Sometimes becuase they have faith in god, sometimes because they have faith in the universe, sometimes because they have faith in their ability to cope.
For me faith is easier when I am in a good mood.
'The world of the happy is quite another than that of the unhappy'.
I would prefer to see the world through the lens of faith
