Am I hopeless....

Faith. I have a real hard time with this one. Blindly abandoning yourself to something that may very well turn out to be wrong. And let's face it, no matter what you personally believe to be true, no one, NO ONE really knows anything for sure. In a way, I admire people who do have that kind of conviction; it probably makes them happier. At least they have a direction. This is not to say that I don't have things that I feel may be true, but I'm not so arrogant as to say "I Know" or " I'm Right". But, I wonder if these vague notions are enough . They certainly don't comfort me in times of trouble or keep me warm at night......

I'm going to let Rush's Neil Peart weigh in on this now 'cause I think he may be on to something:



I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me

I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and market place
