This is what I think. Do feel free to disagree, I haven’t
done any meta-analyses on it.
A faith is somehow personal. We can’t really fit it to
everyone’s need because each person has his/her own set of needs, hence the diversity
of faith. What we believe might define who we are, so I guess maybe this is the
reason why a faith is somehow important.
A faith –not our religion, but our faith to it- is also (to
some degree) imperfect. It can be perfect, but perfection itself is a spectrum.
Like an A tone that doesn’t always have a frequency of 440 Hz, so is the faith.
Sometimes in our view, a near perfect is perfect; while for another, it’s
imperfect. As how most spectrums go, the limit is usually arbitrary. Since it’s
arbitrary, to have like a pro-cons argument about it would be pretty much
useless unless we have made sure that both parties (or however many parties)
are viewing it from the very same point of view. Me and my best friend, for
example; few days ago we kind of argued about which one of these Zedd’s song is
cooler: Clarity or Addicted to a Memory. He’s been listening to EDM in most of
his galau times, so maybe he relates better to the lower-paced and more
vulnerable-sounding Clarity. I only started to listen to EDM recently and I
like arpeggios, so I relate better with the later. We’re not of the same point
of view, so it was no surprise that we didn’t reach any decisions. I guess that
happens when it comes to the talk about faith, too.
A faith is something we might feel that we need to blabber
about sometimes. As said, a faith might define who we are, so.. if we’re proud
about our faith, it might mean that we’re proud of who we are as well. When
we’re somehow proud about something, highly likely that there’ll be this inevitable
urge to blabber about it; that’s quite human. When the blabber went too much or
if we push other people to continuously stand (and buy) our blabber, however,
it might turn boring and even annoying. Other people have their own business
too, so.. can’t we just let them do their own business so they wouldn’t mess
with our business in return? Such. The important thing is to understand the 5W
+ 1H of blabbering, I guess. If we treat everybody the same way in term of
taking our blabber, what people would see from us is that we’re being
inconsiderate. If we’re being inconsiderate to other people, why should anybody
ever consider whatever things that come out from our mouth? Again, what we give
is what we get return.
A faith is also something that –if it is discussed in
written form, such as in social media- should be described with proper spelling
and punctuation. I mean, how can we even have a healthy discussion if we just
don’t get what the ‘conversation partner’ is saying due the massive existence
of misspelling and incorrect punctuation? Somehow if we don’t put enough effort
to make other people understand (i.e. by using the proper spelling and
punctuation), do we really have a right to be angry when people just don’t get
us? I don’t think so..
Anyway. If any of you, dear (silent) readers, somehow happen
to wonder what my current faith is.. well. I’d say that I have this faith that

and they’re still gonna be the coolest for some years to come. No further
