FAITH

faith..its a very complex phenomena, how people can define faith oftens puzzels me. There are different explanations of it, we have faith in God, in our families, in our selves, even in our cat (that she just wont wonder away), what we fail to realize is that having faith in God is a completely different stature but having with in people or things or situations just blinds a person from reaching to the top.
Once we start having faith in people we get side tracked from our judgements, we let our guard down and become vulnerable to the extent where we always..and yes i mean ALWAYS...end up getting hurt. Now its not entirely recommended that one should become a total shrew, okay maybe a little faith would be good, but still one should stay clear in ones judgement.
However looking at the otherside of faith...faith does pull one back from the edge countles times, when a person feels as if they are on a cliff with a harsh wind gushing them towards the edge and they are screaming agonizingly for help but no one can hear then..at the very moment, that very instance they find faith..faith to hold on..faith to fight..faith to linger on..some may say thats not faith its hope to carry on but hope is just a tiny little part of faith. Having faith allows hope to spring in ones darkest, loneliest hour..like a pheonix..a person rises from thier ashes.
Thats the miracle of faith..it gives way to contentment, satisfaction, hope, beauty and life itself.
Now the question is how long does this faith last?
