Hello there, yes, I am aware that I'm not a constant blogger, but I think I'll make an effort to. Or at least write something good for once.
Well since its holiday's and all, I'm bound to idle thinking and talking and as I was going through it all, theres one topic thats been bugging me for years. Faith.
So I shall argue with myself about this topic. Please comment.
Number one
Its been repeated again and again in my mind as I slowly think about the meaning. And to me faith is something we all believe in, whether its real or correct or whatsnot, its just that something thats unexplainable. Its something we refer to in moments of doubt, need of reassurance and hope. No dictionary can make you understand this word except for your own dictionary of understanding that is God given. I know I never did till now.
I mean, we're born into this world, and we're already decided on what faith we should believe in when we hardly know the meaning of faith itself. How do you expect one to feel content and feel self actualized when they hardly know what they believe in? I know we go for religious classes and whats not, but do you realise that when you open a textbook of said class, they don't make you come to terms with your faith but actually just give principals of it.
Number Two
I guess we all have to come to terms with it by ourselves, without the help of a textbook. But then again isn't that what they are trying to do? Trying to put the settings on our minds to listen to the textbooks and them without actually coming to terms with it ourselves? Whats the use of wearing a tudung if your only doing it to get through in school? Whats the use of understanding the religion's principals without doing it with your own faith but with someone else's forcing? You'll end up doing it for someone else, not God.
Number Three
One more thing, prejudice against other faiths. How did this happen? We all are turning so superficial, so what if we think and know in our own faith that its the "right one"? Good for us then, don't have to make an enemy of everybody else. I still remember being "warned" to not befriend a friend of another faith by a girl. I didn't listen to her ofcourse, I found it ludicrous, but what happened? I didn't have any friends and went to recess alone that school year. And that's not counting the warning I got for joining the Interact Club and sending someone a balloon for Vday from a teacher in school this year.
I was in a chat with someone and she said the f-ing word along with God. Okay maybe it doesn't actually matter since she didn't mean it, even I accidently say it sometimes without meaning it, and I asked her what she meant and she said Oh I don't mean our God, I mean't the Christian's God.
Sorry to say this in my blog, but don't you realize that this is prejudice? Prejudice against other's faith? It may be a different faith but its the same God we're talking about here in Islam and Christian and Judaism. All in all it's God's creation and theres no hurt in respecting it.
Oh well.Who am I to preach?
I know this is a controversial subject but I need something to get out of my system.
