On faith

My theory is that we humans have faith on stuff in order not to throw ourselves through the window. It is my current belief, though, that one should not have more faith than strictly necessary — I’m not very sure why I think that, though, I just feel it.

Since I’m fine with the idea that there may not be any life after death, or that nobody superior created us, I choose not to have faith in any god, or on the absence of them, nor I follow any form of religion.

However, I do have faith in other stuff. Mainly, I have an immovable (and irrational) faith that, at some point in my life, I will find a life partner. And I do have such strong faith because the sole thought of not finding one would make me, indeed, throw myself through the window.

And I really wish it wasn’t that way.
