Faith. ( The Force of Survival #2 )

By Shivam Ralli @shivamralli167
*This article is second in the Force of survival series-so, it would be better if you read the first one before reading this. Hope"A belief so strong that nothing- really nothing can destroy it.”Well, yes. That’s faith. Sorry folks for the long wait for a new post- the first sem’s exams were going on. Okay, this is the second post in the The force of survival series. We have already discussed hope. Now, the faith. Basically it is a belief/confidence within a religious deity or so kind of god, a thing, your luck- anything in which a person believes whole-heartedly.Imagine this:You are Amy. You are roaming the streets of Paris when someone comes and kidnaps you. Now, even though you ( Amy) are scared- you have  a belief that your parents and brother might be taking some steps to take you out of this situation.”This was one example which was rather far-fetched, but it might perfectly define faith. Hope was in the context when the situation is so dire and perilous that one can only hope and imagine on how to get out from that specific situation. Faith is a bit different. It is wholly dependent on the thought that someone out there in the whole wide world is doing something for your benefit ( if you are stuck in a situation; refer to Amy para above); or it can also be how you believe in God.

Faith is the reality of a waking man.

Okay, for some students.It happens every time.  ‘O God please make me pass this year- I will surely study from the next.’ In this situation, God, is just a basic force which compels you to study so at least you can get good marks ( this was one answer what we got when we asked some students, the other one: The student just gives up and hopes for the best.) It has happened with many of us in our short span of life. God is a force has been shown before.”That’s just a vague representation we gave of how people incorporate faith into their lives. They hope. But it is with faith which helps it to work.“Faith is the thing which helps one to conquer one’s fear. And when incorporated with hope- humanity thrives.”No Pandora or any other myth is the owner of faith. Why? Because faith is the thing humanity was born with. The only thing which man had from the starting of human race.Faith happens to be that one thing which helped a lot of people in the world war 1 and 2. Take this again:you and your brother are jews hiding under the table when German soldiers burst in by breaking the doors. The Germans get to know that you understand Yiddish but act as if you don’t know Yiddish. Then that specific German soldier leaves you to leave you and give you one more chance.”That is what faith is. Having a belief that these small children may live to see another day and live their live to the fullest. Take the movie Saving Private Ryan.In that flick, The soldiers take the orders of Hanks as if it is a word of Gospel. They have faith that their Captain is giving them the orders of what is right for them and the human race.(review of that movie will be coming.)“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” – Rabindranath Tagore.There are some days when the challenges seem too much. But, faith helps us to conquer them. Some ways on how faith helps us to move forward have been described above.
