This is getting exciting. After a month’s battle, the holidays are here again. I am sooo happy and I had been celebrating since I don’t know when. Initially, I thought I had so many plans but as usual, I find that there isn’t much actually. That is why I am typing nonsense on my keyboard again…Hahaha!!! Year 3, Bring it on!!!
After my last paper yesterday, I watched Mission: Impossible III. Great story, nice plot. Tom cruise as Ethan Hunt and there was Maggie Q as well. She was Zhen in the show. We were surprised that she could speak such fluent English and Ethan was speaking some Mandarin. To sum it up, it was an awesome, spine-tingling and thrilling show worth watching!
Ok, that not what I want to blog about today.
I was thinking…..
thinking…..
thinking…..
Have you ever been in a situation whereby you have no one to turn to, nobody to encourage and you feel that you are all alone?? You don’t want to tell your parents what is wrong, because you don’t even know what is wrong. You are confused and frustrated about yourself and all you can do is to sit down and pray that everything is fine.
Faith is the last thing you turn to.
Have you ever been in a situation whereby you’re over the moon, you are thankful that unexpected entity has befallen on you and you want to share your joy with everyone you know??
Faith is the last thing you share your joy with.
Now, there is something I am really confused. I look up the dictionary for the meaning of the word faith and it mentioned something like trust, acceptance, belief and loyalty. My question is: Can we change our faith?
You might be wondering why I am asking this. No particular reason, just some random thoughts (as if). Frankly, there is something on my mind….
What if… I mean what if one day, I am forced to choose between my love and my faith. Which will I choose?
Ok, if you don’t get what I mean, let me give you a situation. For instance, you are a catholic or Buddhist and you are in a relationship with a Muslim or Hindu. To be together, either one will have to give up his faith. If you are in that situation, will you choose love or faith??
Pris had once given up love and chosen her faith instead. Both of them were holding on to their faith too tightly and nobody is willing to give in. I don’t know if that was the best decision, but I respect her choice.
You might say - if there is true love between the both of you, then the both of you will be willing to give up. Let me tell you, that’s crap!! Faith may weigh as much as love, sometimes even more. Not everyone is willing to give up on their faith which they had pinned so much hope on.
Another solution you might suggest is that both can continue to live with his faith, yet happily together. How is that possible?? For instance, I love to eat beef and if I marry a Hindu, how can I eat beef then?? Ironic, isn’t it?? You are asking me to give up on beef?? But I love beef!!! How?!?!
Perhaps, that’s the reason why some people are holding back. It is like, if there is no beginning; there is no need for an end. No gain, no loss. The sun still rise and the earth still spin. But, as in had mentioned many times, love involved sacrifices. The question is whether those sacrifices are worth it.
If it is you, which will you choose??
Oh my, I can't believe I am so bored that I am typing nonsense again.
"Miles may lie between us, we're never far apart, for friendship doesn't count the miles, it's measured by the heart!"

Interesting post indeed.... A battle between love and faith... The 2 most important things of our lives and yet they cannot compliment each other.... So the end result??? Sacrifices have to be made as we can't have the best of both worlds....
Thus that is one of the many reasons why there is a saying," the person you married to is not the one that you love most. But is the one that suits you and understands you the most..."
yeah~ it's really hard for 2 person with different religion to get together.. But i've a fren's parent who has different religion. One is Christian, one is Buddhist.
I think gotta depend on the religion itself ba. if both can acknowlegde and understand the difference, things can still work out ba..
And I agreed that the person you married to is not the one that you love most.. but is the one whom you can live with..
^_^
Yes, that's true. Sometimes it is just so difficult....
"The person you marry is not the one you love most" I think it sounded like we are treating our love ones like substitute, like spare tyre. isn't it sad that we actually realise this fact??
The end result is that I have not make my decision. But escape is neither an option also.
CHoosing between Faith religion ~? Its a No-brainer. Faith, Of course,over rules the case of Love.
Why so you may Ask;
Love,(the so-called Feeling of attraction) dosen't last forever. Faith (Spiritual Energy)is well, eternal. Don't you want to save yourself before you face the wrath of God?
The Following are problems in an inter racial union.
1.Other people's Cruel perceptions of the couple being sell-outs or intra-racists.
2.The manner in which the marriage ceremony is conducted will be a point of Debate.
3.Children of the couple will have a great identity crisis in that they find it hard to relate to the terms of of race and religion.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for inter RacIal and inter-religious relationships and marriage.
Autonomy is all tts required in a Relationship / marriage. For something as simple as diet, as long as you do not force one another or take things personally it will be fine.
Below are Positive aspects of an interracial union.
1. Its an interesting Challenge and both parties are together in their fight against the supposed Normal world.
2. Its an interesting learning experience of class, cross-culture, Language and customs.
3. Opposites, conflicts, differences attract because there is something to be resolved. Similarties and agreement can translate into mere boredom.
In conclusion, yes, faith wins but i just wish to say tt it dosen't mean tt it has to.
Pretty much All i'm willing to say Now. Keep discussing more Topics of interest. peace. ;)
