Would you call it faith or perhaps hope? Faith is the full belief in something based on zero evidence or even in SPITE of contrary evidence while hope is merely a wish.
By the definition above I live with absolutely zero faith in my life.

I hope I have faith in myself because if hope is a wish, that is as mythical as an illusion. Faith to me is the standard upon which we build our hopes and dreams. I believe I am capable of accomplishing whatever my faith, hopes and dreams demand of me. I am not a task master and I haven't required that I fulfill the impossible. But I also expect a certain degree of accomplishment in order to continue hoping.
Each of us has to find our path through life. My way may be totally out of the question for anyone else, nor do I require that anyone else accompany me. Even my life's companion, who is now deceased, sought a different path than mine. But it worked well for us during our time together. |
