To be REALLY honest, I'm no religious person. Not that I don't believe in God, but I rarely practice the observances a Christian should do, like church going on Sundays, well verse about the Bible and so on.
But what I want to discuss here is not this type of belief, rather the belief in people in general: faith. Do YOU trust the people you know and love? Why?
You know, people are meant to be living in communities. We just don't thrive on our own, we just don't. We need to rely on other people to make a functional life. So we put trust in people so that they can fulfill our needs, whether it is physical, emotional or psychological.
Somehow we can put a lot of trust in people, especially those who are out there to harm us. We can't trust people who betray, lie, cheat and hurt our feelings.
So it's kinda tricky: how much faith we have in people?
Try this, you need a friend/lover/family member/someone who you really trust:
1. Stand in front of him/her
2. Close your eyes, arms spread out
3. Fall back towards him/her
4. See if he/she catches you
The results can be an eye-opening.
