faith
a friend asked how you can judge a person who seemingly says all the right things at the right time to be sincere?
i answered, faith.
it's just faith that lets you believe that all the things you hear are sincere.
it's faith that allows you to share with another person.
it's faith that allows you to go through life trusting a person or people.
and it's faith that guides your instincts, helps you determine what's ok and what's not.
faith is a gamble. it is a risk. everyone will have to let go of the walls they build around themselves and succumb to faith at least once in their lives. there are some who can do it constantly. it is a hard decision to make, a difficult jump to do. it is tantamount to letting go and going blind. like everything else, it can only go both ways - to your favor or backfire on you.
when it's to your favor - life is awesome.
when it backfires, well... it backfires. and there's no use in kicking yourself over it. you had the best intentions, you placed good faith. if it backfires - cry, get angry and then move on. another lesson learnt.
but sometimes, you just really have to let things go and trust your instincts. that doesn't mean totally losing your head, but sometimes there are things that your instincts can judge better than your logic can.
i place a lot of faith in a lot of people. more in some than in others. and i've been blessed - i've been really lucky so far. :)
so have faith. make that jump. and then the world will open up before your eyes and you'll see - sometimes it's ok to have a bit of your guard down and let some other person hold it for you.
faith. :)
