Faith makes us human

Good morning friends. Do you believe in faith? Some of us never thought that faith can’t help oneself to be human. Maybe with those people who thought of that was the one who experience bad things in life that’s why they can say that faith has nothing to do in one’s life. I have read one article and it is very nice. I want to share this with you.

It is our belief in God that makes us human, says Chetan Bhagat.

There are some questions that I don’t have answers to. Like, why does faith help? Or, why do we have faith? But I realize that it’s very important to strike the right balance between science and spirituality. If you become too scientific, too analytical and insist that everything has a reason, then you probably are trying to be all-knowing and all-powerful, which you as a mortal being cannot be.

Anything can happen anytime. Life is uncertain, relationships are uncertain, success is uncertain and so is health. Our belief in God is an acknowledgement to that sense of vulnerability. It makes us more human. I would like to pray more but I don’t get the time.

Our faith should not make us dogmatic or agnostic. Instead, it should channelize positive energy so that society benefits from it. Faith should comfort people, not antagonize them. God does not decide things for us on a day-to-day basis. He has given us a mind that can reason and an ability to think for ourselves.

This is what makes us superior to other living beings. Even if there is destiny, there is also a lot of free will. God has His place, an individual his. Hence the need to strike a balance between science and spirituality is all the more important. – The Times of India
