Have a Little Faith

0


A while back, I started off my "Mitch Albom" marathon reading challenge. I think it was sometime in November and I read basically all of his books so far except for "Bo". The last book on my marathon list was non other than 'Have a little faith". I'm glad I had this book for my last read because from it Mitch has become my most respected author. This book as well as "Tuesdays with Morrie" is just a different twist, through them you do not only get to know what Mitch has been doing, what he was up to and how he got to where he is, you also get to know about the people that basically changed his life and opened him up to reality and faith. In this book in particular, Mitch writes about an 8-year journey to explore faith with 2 people that never actually met each other, and as a person from a different faith I was hesitant as to whether I would enjoy reading this book or not but eventually I loved it. 

This book not only shows what real life is all about and what life with a struggler is about, it also shows you that no matter what you do, where you are, or even who you are...God is always there. Now there are some concepts I do not agree with, or I don't think I should say that but the point is, in this book if you are a person that respects other faiths then this book will definitely be the one for you because most people argue and fight over what they believe is right, but that's not the case in this book...it's a book that convey thousands of messages through the words of a rabbi.

Whenever you feel like the world has closed down on you and you have got no way out and you feel devastated, just remember that whenever something unexpected happens, it's a sign for you to change or a sign for you to accept reality and plan ahead for change.

Different Perspectives

0

My photography during our Winter Break family vacation



Back where I live, it rained heavily this morning. Quite surprising since it's actually summer and the weather for the past couple days was really windy. No objections of course, I'm just saying.

We humans have no control on the weather, we're just good enough in coming up with conclusions and always blaming mother nature.

Anyways back to the point of this post.

Like I mentioned earlier, it rained. I saw it as a gift from god and a blessing,others saw it as something scary, well some of us do fear the sound of thunder, but I actually liked it as much as it scares me a bit. Let's not forget the fact that it's Friday, the blessed day to us So this adds as a positive point to me at least.


As people with different beliefs, we see rain for example differently. As I'm typing this, it's raining heavily in Singapore, it always rains there. But back here, rain is not our best friend well as geographers would explain it as " Being on the Equator makes this country very hard" I do not believe that at all, well I do to some extent but I believe there is another reason to that. Some of you might not agree with my reasoning, but that's ok because just like the title implies "Different Perspectives" . I'm very fond of that idea to be honest, it makes me enjoy talking to people from all around this globe, different people living in different areas, experiencing different problems and different beliefs...it makes me really curious about their backgrounds, their beliefs and all the things like that.

I'm trying to keep this post as short as possible, whoever is reading it right now might be a little lost I assume, because I'm just spilling out what my mind decides to throw away.

Thank you for taking the time and relating to this! :)
