Faith vs. Logic

As humans, Faith can become a dark cloud in our lives, or it can be the light to our happiness. But we have trouble with faith. Trivial faith? Easy task. Life determining faith? Not so easy. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word "faith" is defined with several definitions. An entire lot of definitions to pick from. But the one definition that stood out the most to me stated, that faith is a "firm belief in something for which there is no proof." For Christians, faith plays a large role in the acceptance of Christian teachings and claims, and most importantly, Jesus's message to the world. To live with unconditional love and forgiveness. To love our enemies. And even when slapped in the cheek, to turn the other cheek. In our world today, can we really follow these rules? Can we put faith into the idea of retribution in the after-life? There is no proof that there is a system of reparations in heaven, that we are sorted into once we pass from a life of pacifistic living. So how do we believe it? The answer is simple. Faith. But can we bet our life on it? It is hard to place our belief into something that we don't entirely know exists. But it is safe to say that the beauty of faith lies in its own definition. It is a cushion to fall on when there all we have is hope, despite if it goes against all logic. Faith defies logic. And sometimes logic isn't always the right answer.
