Just finished reading Mitch Albom’s newest book Have a Little Faith, even with all the awkward translations (yes, I bought the Indonesian version, since I can’t afford the original, it’s freakin’ expensive) I still can say it’s one of the most inspirational book that I ever read.
In the world of advanced technology and science, human’s civilization is on its peak but let’s remember that in one point there is something that technology can’t provide. That is faith, something to believe in, something that we can hold on when everything goes wrong.
Faith is such a strong word to begin with. First, I will not talk about heavy stuff like God or religion, let’s start with a simple example, like I have faith for a certain person. So how I accomplish this statement?
If I have a faith in someone, I’m willing to trust this person completely, believing that this person will not let me down. This kind of thing is not easy because we know it’s hard to trust someone nowadays, you need guts for that, but in the other side the fact that we are willing to believe in someone shows our human side. That we are fragile, none of us can live alone, we need other people to keep on living.
Faith shows how human is fragile but courageous in the same time. We are immortal, nothing is certain, even with the most advanced technology we know we can’t avoid death. Hence, it’s natural for us to have the needs to believe in something and for me personally it takes lots of guts to completely believe in something.
