#growth Most people wouldn't say I'm spiritual, but I do believe in a few things. I believe in [[Omens|omens]], I believe that humans are fundamentally good, I believe that life is meant to be experienced as a journey, and I believe that faith plays an important role in our lives regardless of religion. Faith is the foundation of our belief system. Our faith is unique to each of us. It's that thing we all fall back on when the world goes to shit and everything seems to be falling down around us. It's the cement slab at the bottom of the house that doesn't break, it's our bedrock that our beliefs, actions, and behavior stem from. I also believe that life is meant to be experienced as a journey. As a society we focus so much on the end result (because that's what generates [[Trust|trust]]) but the end result only lasts for a moment in time and then it's gone. Our memory of the result remains, and we can re-experience it over and over again, and this is part of the journey. Our life is just a series of experiences, and we feel at every minute and every second. One moment is not more important than another, and the total sum of our moments is not more or less important than any individual moment. <!-- TODO --> Faith gets people through terrible times. I want to write more about this, and how important it is.
