Faith

My friends have been asking me questions that make me think about religion in general and my own religion as well.

I'm thinking I probably am still lacking in knowledge and understanding about Buddhism. DUH. But this upsets me, and I am trying to find out more about it as I go along.

When religious fervour is taking the world and in particular Singapore by storm, our best defence is perhaps to learn more about religion, and for those who belong to a certain faith like me, start over from square one with our religion. It is interesting how much we can learn and how many mistruths and false knowledge we can dispel just by doing so.

I, for one, hope that the world does not fall because of the very thing that seeks to keep our hearts pure, that pushes us on beyond our perceived capabilities, that unites us in spite of differences- faith.
