Is it really so tough to understand or perhaps i just refuse to understand it.
Just saw this from another fren's blog. Thought its pretty meaningful and gel pretty well with the previous blog entry

Man can live for about forty days without food, and about three days without water, about eight minutes without air ... but only for one second without hope.
~ Hal Lindsey
Well, this definitely has nothing to do with the famous TV series. Sorry, for those "LOST" enthusiasts out there.
-
Anyway, judging from the way I'am behaving, I will soon be part of this series...well, literally..."LOST".
-
Should I be moving forward? Or perhaps moving backwards is more appropriate? Or could it be sideways? Diagonally across? zigzag? hmmm, perhaps upwards might be better. (no, can't fly) Well, if you are in the middle of nowhere, with the horizon in sight 360 degrees all around you, sometimes it doesn't make much of a difference whether you move, since you have totally lose track of your perspective. What is forward and what is backward in this instance?
-
Perhaps I should just stay still and don't move. However, stagnating just doesn't seem right either. Cos I am really bothered. I really want to move towards something. I just can't stay still. I really hope to find light at the end of the tunnel. But now, its as if there's light everywhere or there's simply no light.
-
Since all the routes look alike, should I just choose a direction and just move. Forward and backward has absolutely no bearing.
-
Questions then start coming in. What if it is the wrong direction? Somehow this direction doesn't seem right. Should I turn back? Turn back to where? Can I pull thru?
-
Well, that's where the issue of faith comes into play.
-
Faith is in action what you make yourself vulnerable - practicing what you believe. Faith stagnates unless you expose yourself. Faith is believe in things which common sense tell you not to. Faith is holding on to the very last moment and not be waivered.
-
Have Faith. Believe. Perservere.
