Faith (Jan. 24)

I often find people in this world who have no idea what faith really is. Everyday they act with faith, apparently without knowing it, and then go on to have cynical attitudes to anyone who claims to have faith. It is true that the general context of faith revolves around religion but faith is something way more general than that. Faith is directly related to belief and belief is the readiness to act as if something were true. Faith is the expectation of particular results in relation to those actions. So for instance I believe that a chair is built to allow people to sit on it and it will support their weight. Faith is actually sitting in the chair with the expectation holding true that it does indeed support your weight. See, it is really something that everyone does just about everyday and often without thinking about it. When was the last time you spent a good period of time thinking about sitting in a chair and then inspecting a chair before actually sitting in it?
