Faith, is no mean feat. For its sake one must blind oneself to the flickering ghost of the future. Faith is, by definition, not wanting to know the end and still continuing the journey. Which is rather paradoxical, since one sticks to the journey, keeping faith that it ends in the wanted or predicted destination.
Faith is--may be-- less of a trust in the resolution of circumstances, and more of a belief in a base emotion, tenet or entity, in which hope is enshrined, and out of which an outcome is wanted or expected or hoped for. Faith is loyalty to the process. Faith is trusting the process.
Faith is, again, no mean feat. Faith and patience, they say, have worked miracles for the steadfast. But what if we're holding on the wrong tenet? Doubt is quite the germ, yet one can not really live without it. Faith may end in a long awaited success, a giving up, or a settling or any number of curious circumstances life may conjure. What really needs to be applauded, i feel, is the loyalty that seats itself on the foundations of faith.
There is a dearth of such simple emotions in the world nowadays. Ergo, i give much credit to Tolkien and Rowling. We all had worlds when we were young. But it is a hard and grueling task to maintain those worlds through the bigger numbers of one's age. It is hard to have faith in base emotions, and at the same time, important.
