Well,my parents and I had a fiercely debate over faith and we disagreed with each other.I am really annoyed and unhappy.
They think it's nothing and laughed at me for taking it so seriously.
I have been searching for my dream for a long time.When I was a child,my life was planned and now I want to change.I want to control my own life.However,now I don't know if I have faith.Every time,when I talk about faith,they think poorly of it.In their opinion,it is useless.I can't get support from them and I'm getting really doubtful about myself.I don't have confidence and I don't know if I can succeed.
I think faith is really essential.Without faith,I'm nothing.With faith,we can fight for our dreams.Maybe the reality will let us down,but we will keep on fighting,won't we?
What do you think about faith?Essential,or just nothing?Waiting for your responses.

Faith is food to the soul. That's what I think. It's faith that keeps one go on and be strong in life.

As for your question whether it is essential or not, ask yourself first. If it is essential to you, so it is. If faith helps you go on, let it be so. Who cares if others think it rubbish? It is you who has to live your life not others. Not even your parents. So believe and have faith all you want as long it is good by you.

some people it seems essential and others not.. i think it depends on your beliefs and personality.. some people dont need anyone and anything and others need to believe there is something somewhere and that things do mean something and not just random..

im not saying that people that need faith are weak or anything.. just some people need something and others dont for some reason

happyI believe you can do it, you can make the change in yourself even if you wanted. must be really infuriating if the parents just laugh at you knowing that you believed in something so serious. never doubt yourself, Faith is essential to those who want to achieve and win...and a lot of successful people are in their position now because of faith...well, for most people that it. thumbup. Never give up on faith. thumbup

hello you are right friend, faith is essential, certainly not meaningless, for example, i have a strong faith in the existance of god, is there any harm if i believe so?

Faith is everything in life. But then I am CHristian and not everyone has the same point of view.

One thing my faith teaches me is that you have to accept that your parents will think differently and love them inspite of that.

Hope you will find peace in your heart and they will also accept your faith one day.

Don't stop having faith.


myLot reputation of 90/100. gusuifengpiao (562)   ranked 1,250 out of 18,986 in questions & answers  4 months ago

Thanks,esp2_mayn!
Of course I love my parents.I just want them to respect my choices.Not just laugh at me.We are a family and we should understand and respect each other even we have different opinions.I am a grown-up girl and I can make my own decisions.
I will find peace in my heart.And I will move on.
Thanks again for your support.
Have a nice day!
