Hhmm.. these two words.. sounds similiar.. sometiems i dun even noe how to differentiate it.. but the main point of this post is not it.. its about faith n trust..
Yesterday a fren of mine told me about his lover had sex with another one.. ist been on his mind for quite a while.. he tells me tat he duno wat to do..n he still loves his lover.. but he cant accept tat all these way he has been holding on to the faith for not betraying the lover instead the lover betrayed him.. he told me tat he knew it from the msn history.. hhmmm.. so its not from the lover's own mouth.. so i tot to myself.. since he is suffering.. he is asking for my help.. wat shud he do.. i told him tat.. watever i say, its always hard to listen.. it is bcoz he has made up his mind subconsciously.. but in his conscious mind.. he din noe wat he shud do.. so watever i said, he wud give excuses n everything.. saying tat its 1 year relationship.. i said.. so wat if its a one year relationship or 10 year.. its the same.. if u have lost faith n trust in him.. the relationship wont last long.. even if the lover tells him tat he did not have sex..will he believe ?
its all in the faith n trust.. all relationships are based on faith n trust.. we must trust the other half if we wanna maintain a long n good relationship.. in this case, if my fren ady have a subconscious mind tat the lover betrayed him, no matter wat the lover says, he will still thinks tat he betrayed him.. even they got back together, he will onli suffer as tis will be imprinted in his mind forever.. he will be more suspicious of the lover.. n tis will come to a break point sometime in the future.. same goes with the opposite, if he really trust him.. then even after reading the msn history, he wud think its ridiculous tat the lover betrayed him... n even if he ask the lover, watver the lover says.. even if the lover says he relaly betrayed him.. he wud say Nvm.. coz he trust the lover its just an accident or anything.. perhaps its something went wrong between both of them.. so he will try to figure out n fix it.. meanwhile will forgive him.. n have faith in the lover tat the lover will come back to him n be loyal to him.. but tis doesnt apply when the lover goes out hunting for sex etc one after another.. wat is greater than the power of forgiving rather than throwing temper at them.. have u ever tot tat why he went out ? maybe bcoz its something happened between both of u but u dun realise it ? so figure it out n fix it.. no matter wat happen.. it happens for a reason n the cause of it often relates to u, urself..
another incident is wat my lecturer told us.. actually the moral value is not bout trust n faith.. but it oso can be link.. ^_^ the story goes like tis.. there is two acrobats.. they are gonna perform a stunt.. one have to hold a LLLOOOONNNNGGG ladder while the other one climbs on top of it.. without any string attached.. the one tat climb up told the one holding the ladder : ' pls take care of me' actually.. tis stories tells us tat.. no matter wat.. we are on our own.. as long as we do our part.. there wont be anything happen.. if the one tat holds the ladder well.. n the one climbs it without tripping or being too shaky.. there wud not be any problem for the stunt to be completed.. we must play our part n roles well in life.. depending on wat situation.. we just suit to tat situation n play tat role well.. just like lecturers n students.. if the lecturer doesnt teach well, even the students are hardworking, i m sure tat the result is not tat good.. vice versa.. but if the lecturer n students work well.. do their part well.. i msure the resuts wud be better!!
the story of the acrobats oso tells tat we must have faith in each other.. ur partner, ur family, ur frenz.. etc.. if the one climbing the ladder doesnt have faith in the one holding it.. he wud just be too scared to do the stunt or might create problems to it.. vice versa.. hehe.. it goes the same in relationship as i mentioned above n etc.. a lot of things on earth is based on trust n faith.. we all do have faith tat the sun will continue to rise in the morning n the moon will come out at nite.. tis is wat we all have faith n believe in.. we oso have faith n trust tat our frenz will be still with us no matter wat happens.. n they will come n look for us n still remembers us!
so tis is faith n trust.. its very very very important.. oh ya.. from faith n trust , its being confidence n next power, will, dream etc..

Faith, can it be defined as confidence and trust without logical proof?
I think trust is a more reasonable approach in relationships. To have the stength and confidence in someone, we usually have to witness something and JUDGE whether this person is worth believing in.
However, we are usually blinded and lie to ourselves about how good another person is and how sustainable a relationship is. Hence, it's more around the notion of faith as it will be ILOGICAL to believe in somehing that is made-up.
Damn, I'm confusing myself and I may already be contradicting what I've said.
Both faith and trust are words that are too abstract for the human mind. That's the reason why we constantly make mistakes in judgement as at the end of the day, we rely on our emotions rather then rationality.
