Faith

Faith, a very strange word. You can hear it all over the world but still people have absolutely no idea of what it means or at least tht's wht i believe. If something in life goes wrong we blame God. We question our Faith and the justice of God. But then how much is God involved in our day to day life. Does God pull strings as to who get's what and who does not. Does god have a big book where the events of our life are recorded and happiness & grief distributed as per the book which god consults every morning and says ok today this person is going to get a million dollors in a lottery and the other person is going to have his/her leg broken.

Or god simply decides based on if u worshiped him or not or if you made a mistake in some ritual. For example say you were supposed to fast for 24 hrs but u fasted for only 23 hrs 59 min so god will punish you.

Or god is an ever loving, forgiving person who is there to help us live our life giving us strength. He does not control nature and does not interfere with it. He does not distinguish between a thief or saint but lets nature take its own course.

I believe in a God that is not bias but loves all his beings no matter what. Also I believe in a God who is there to give me strength in my darkest moment, a God who makes me feel love and loved. You know wht's the greatest gift you can give someone. We all know it's not money or for that matter something tht person dreamt of having. Strangly enough it's not friendship or love. You can't give ur frndship, effection or love to someone if they will not take it. The greatest gift to anyone is the "feeling of being loved and wanted" is what you can give. If somebody makes me feel that loved and that my existence on earth is not a waste then that's the greatest gift that anyone can give me. It's the most valuable gift cause you can live a lifetime only on the power of this gift. If you don't have this gift from your fellow people then life becomes a waste and you start questioning your existence and those are the people who commit suicide.
