The battle of logic vs. faith
A new idea keeps rehashing itself on the basis of how I
look at even the simplest things. But then again, these
realizations might not be so seemingly clairvoyant; they
could be purely coincidental and as mundane as searching
for the proper word in a thesaurus. However, imagine
hearing a word you (and probably the rest of the world)
have not cared to hear and finally pondering that word
for weeks or even months before deciding to look it up,
when you come to find that this word defines you
(in a good sense of course.) The reason I denote such a
situation lies within my relativity.
Faith is belief in something on one’s own discretion,
without the application of logic. The occurrence
aforementioned can be likened to that of foresight.
However, I would find it foolish to hear of anyone with
vested faith in something that ascends so far beyond the
standards of logic upheld by most societies, but I’m
somewhat amazed by the relevance things like tarot cards
and horoscopes can have to such intimate aspects of
someone’s life. These perspectives are there whether you
choose to believe or not and touch on most people’s lives
in a very extroverted sort of way, so of course most could
see the ease in application of these aphorisms to one’s
life.
