I realized something interesting a couple of days ago, it's something that I already knew somehow, but it really struck me as amazing... do you know why Japan is such a strong country nowadays?, why do they have such technology, culture and economy?.
Well, after WW2 they were torn appart, and they were FORCED to NOT do anything belic, so war stuff whatsoever, so, instead of doing military research and investment, they took all that money and time and built the Japan that we see today. See?, what you can accomplish devoting your energy to something other than war?. I find it funny when people say that all our technological advances have been because of war, so we should be thankful in a way... thankful?! I mean... it is a true statement, but damn, does that mean that we humans could not advance, or even go further, when motivated by something other than fear and hatred?. I hope that may happen someday. (no pun intended).
That brings me to another topic, faith. Is faith the strongest of forces?, the one that can accomplish everything?. Even above dreams, and imagination and hope?. I hate to be such a perfectionist, but I believe it comes down to a matter of deffinition. What is faith?. I'll have to admit though, that faith can be the strongest of them all, because after all, faith could be propelled by hope, dreams and imagination, and the strong belief that they will indeed happen no matter what. I think faith, if is was a function, would be in terms of imagination and will, or hope (the good active hope) and will, certainty and trust, strenght. So yes, faith is stronger... but it believe it is defined in terms of all the others.
By the way, wouldn't it be cool to have a female cat named faith?... or a daugther maybe?... he he he... could be a good name.
