The power of action versus the power of faith is such an old long standing battle. Is one bigger than the other? Who is to say? Does any of us have concrete evidence to declare one the winner? Can belief exist without action or vice versa? Is power of prayer interspersed with power of action, the sure shot to success, happiness etcetera?
Faith is such a powerful emotion. The ability to give in and surrender to a "greater" power. To be big enough in mind to accept that there is a stronger energy source who may be capable of doing more and be all pervasive.
While there may be more believers than atheists in the world, is it because we are all that humble or because we want to leave the decision/action as well as be able to blame an entity for our failures? Faith is seriously misundestood. Faith ought not be our answer for our shortcomings.
And it's this misuse that makes faith the obvious option for most of us. Defintely, pushing forth, trusting oneself and holding only oneself responsible for the downfall in addition to the sucesses seems very very hard to do. How can we ordinary mortals be sfrong enough to look at the man in the mirror and chide ourselves for failing? Isn't it much easier to blame it on fate, destiny and this is the best one of all...GOD.
If only we had the maturity to believe that while not all of our happiness is fed by us but all of our misery surely is. If only we had the guts to accept that we do possess a great deal of pathos and that while people who love us choose to ignore them and deal with them we most certainly should not. It all starts with us opening our eyes wide enough to even come close to this simple simple realization.
Oh my dear dear friend, you ain't any more perfect than me. And the sooner you wake up, and burst that bubble you are living in, the sooner you shall see meaning in my words. Till then, all I can do is hope that that day shall in fact arrive, if ever.
