Today was my first day volunteering at the Shiv Ji Mandir.. I saw something there which will always have an effect on me. This young girl, probably giving her MCAT’s in 2 weeks, was talking to the pandit. The way she was talking to him, the way she believed that everything’ll be alright, the way they connected was an amazing sight.
Every now and then there comes a moment in life when something so astounding happens that you don’t have words to describe it. Today was one of those days. Today everyone’s arguing about religion. Which one’s better, which is worse. I’m not here to discuss that. I don’t care what religion you are. What that girl showed me was that all you need is faith. Faith in God, faith in a person, faith in something you truly believe in.
The world today is so skeptical. We never actually just believe in something. We never have faith in people, we are doubtful. Why? Why do we question everything? I do regret that at times I have myself questioned God. Why can’t I have the faith that others have? Why can’t we just believe. Period.
In the long run I think we can all learn something from that girl. Believe, have faith in something, and it’ll make you happy. Like it made her happy when the pandit said she’ll do good on the tests.
I don’t know if this post makes sense. As I’ve said, neither am I good at expressing my feelings nor was it one of those moments which you can describe. I think you have to experience it to believe it. But just a suggestion, have faith. In God, in family, in friends. In the end, it’ll make you happy.
