What is Faith? When it comes to faith, by definition, is the having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. I use faith in different ways. Firstly, I have faith in my friends. Secondly, I have faith that people and society will do the right thing when the time comes. Lastly, I have spiritual faith. In my eyes, these are three different meanings for the same word. The faith that I have in my friends is different from the faith that I in people for doing the right thing.

Truthfully, I cannot describe the indescribable. I could give a loose description of it that can be easily walked over by someone who does not share the same views. A person, who will also try to make me question my “faith.” As a definitive definition of this type of faith in my life is that it is blind faith. But, blind faith does not sound appealing to other people. I know that. However, for me, blind faith keeps me going throughout. If I did not have blind faith, what could possibly keep me going throughout life? Nothing. Having spiritual faith and referring to faith as having its own life is what keeps me going as I march through the battlefield of life. I will never stop having spiritual faith in God, even when I think I am offered a different opinion. It is blind faith that I willingly to take with me throughout my
