Faith is basic building block

Marie Callas says that Faith is a basic building block between human. With faith, there is trust. Without the ingredients of faith and trust, there is no way our societies can function. Don't you think so?

Just imagine you are driving our national car on North South highway, you have good faith that the car will bring you safely and reliably to your destination, and that your life wouldn't be endangered. Similarly, your have faith that the lift that brings to the top stories of Petronas Tower won't fail you. This is faith in the technical expertise of the engineers who made the lifts.

Among humans, i have faith and trust that my subordinate will carry out the tasks they have been assigned to on time and on the spot. Likewise, you have faith that your wife or hubby will be faithful to you, if not, the state of harmony will be disrupted.

For religious people, faith is even more important role in their lives. People pray to God for protection, wisdom, and abundance. They know God will be there for them, at all times. So when difficult times hit them, they have faith that God will bail them out. They have great faith that prayers will be answered eventually.

Life can seem just as bleak and dark as an ocean on a stormy night but by relying on Faith to carry us through, we also know that the morning will be a brand new day that should be joyful and bright. Every rainfall can be a cleansing experience in more ways than one, and many people find great solace from the morning dew on grass just outside their front door.
