Trust/faith in the unknown

Hiiii~~

I just got finished with my evening exercise. I dislike exercising. The mild chest pains and intense muscle burning is not my thing. But I do it anyways for my body and my health. After all, not everyone loves vegetables, but they keep us in goo health.

So! How are you?

Okay, so lately I haven't had any major sitting and thinking times this week so far. However, I did have one today after watching that video. Recently my face-to-face encounter with people have been limited. Well, besides the times going out to the store or whatever, but I mean seriously sitting down and having a discussion (besides online emails).

Anyways, to today's topic.

A few hours ago, and just a few minutes ago I was thinking about the video I was watching earlier today. And I thought about the people of that religious group who said they hate America. It doesn't bother me, however, I was thinking "well, they certainly seem to trust America."

Here's what I mean, without realizing it, we kind of put our trust in things. Imagine, you walk into a building. Well, you may very well believe that building will not fall. You may not even think about it. When I go to school, I don't think "oh, something bad will happen." I just simply go to school.

Hm....how am I explaining myself? Okay, let's see.....I think we kind of trust people without realizing it. Or rather, we may subconsciously know we are being protected by an unseen force. This is what I mean. Those people who said they hate America, can sleep with the feeling they will wake up the next morning. Doesn't that take trust in (something)?

It doesn't necessarily mean the days will go the way you wish. Sometimes things don't go our way. And those days suck. But how can you be certain that you will continue to breathe now? Or now? How about now?

There is a silent trust among humans I think. And we don't realize it.

When students go into a building to learn, it's like they don't think the worst. They have a certain trust. The intention is: Go to school. Learn. Go home.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't help but think. I sometimes think "I can't depend on authority figures too much, I have to be able to protect myself  on my own and others if something should happen." I think "the government is corrupt"....and yet, I must trust that they will protect me, and take care of me. Because, hey, I am still here. I guess you can call it a complaint or something.

Maybe it's trust or faith in ourselves. Okay, well, I can't really put down what I mean hahaha it doesn't seem to come out right or make much sense when I try to type it.

But here's one more example, when I step off of a bus, I've gotten into the habit of thanking them.I say "thanks" as a way of saying "thank you for taking care of my life." or "I put my life in your hands as you drove me from point A to B. Thank you." So even though they hear a simple "thank you" I mean it a lot more.

When someone gets in the car with someone, it requires trust. I don't know if a lot of people think about this.

What I'm trying to say is, focus on the next time you go somewhere. Stop and become aware of everything. The person helping that person with their groceries, the person getting help, it seems, has faith in the person helping.

It's tiny....very microscopic, but these moments make me appreciate life. Even though I have tough times, I thank my thoughts. Even though I question myself so much, I thank my mind. I'm actually very happy I can find small things like this that make me happy. Even if they don't seem to make much sense.

Hm...well, what do you think? Maybe faith isn't the correct word....maybe I'm looking for another word.
