Faith is a kind of energy. It helps make tomorrow sweeter and it makes today more palatable too.They say, none of us should try to run before we can walk. But paediatricians might question the wisdom of this. Babies, when they become toddlers, often take their first steps at great speed. They have to launch into what might be seen as a run (or certainly a very speedy stride) just to maintain their confidence and balance. There are also those who say that the best way to learn how to swim, involves diving in at the deep end, if there is no slow gentle way to start a process, you might just have to go for it. A risk of you entering conflict through overconfidence. I don't disagree with that interpretation but we might both profit from considering what overconfidence can really mean. It could, perhaps, suggest a state of certainty that precludes a degree of sensitivity. There is nothing wrong with telling it like it is, but you should try to be conscious now of the great extent to which someone else may think that it isn't like that at all.We can all be magnanimous when we feel somehow, that the world is being kind to us. But it takes a highly evolved wise and spiritual person to act with generosity when times are tight and tense. Generally, under such circumstances, we inadvertently express our disgruntlement by acting and speaking in ways that effectively pass our unhappy mood onto others. But then we must be careful. What we give out, we tend to get back. That's really all you need to remember. Ask yourself 'what is my attitude likely to attract?' If there is something you don't understand, perhaps this is through no fault of your own. Perhaps an argument simply makes no sense, no matter how you look at it. Some things (especially powerful cosmic forces) really do defy explanation after all. And if you are dealing with such a phenomenon? Then you had best show it the respect it deserves and stop attempting to subject it to petty human concepts like logic. Meet an irrational idea with another irrational idea.
