Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

Believe. Everybody needs to believe in something. There are as much reason to believe, as much way to believe as there are humans on the Earth. For some of us, it is through a religion. Christianism, Bouddhism, Judaism, Hindouism, whatever! I am agnostic, I prefer neither believe nor disbelieve there is a God. Is it easier for me to find a reason of my existence if I just live my life withour thinking about that. If heaven, purgatory, hell, reincarnation or whatever else exist, I just do not want to know. The only thing that I am sure is that if reincarnation exists, I do not remember my last existence. So, while keeping the same mind, why should I change my life right now of I know that I won't remember it in another life? Even if heaven or hell would exist, I would prefer to tell myself that I lived my life like I wanted instead of living my life hoping the best for my after-life.

Heaven is on Earth in my mind. Every little thing that brings joy should be considered as a miracle. But, I am definitly neither here to convince people to become agnostic nor atheist, because even if nowadays, sciences explain a lot of theory with facts that religion tries to explain only with faith, realigion is only a way to keep hope with all what happens on Earth.


Wars, natural desasters, climate changes, rape, death, lies, deceptions, abuses, violence... How is it possible to smile while all those things happen around us? Because we believe. We believe things can change. But, we particularly believe that we are the lucky one who won't live those disasters. When we know that the end of the world won't be in so long. I am not talking about 2012, but about the facts that if we continue to pass over the environment, in 50 years, the Earth won't be anymore what we known. Why does people continue to have childs if they know that they will live in a world in ruins? Because they believe, they hope it won't happen.

We all need to believe to go through the life. Even if often, we are disappointed about the fact that believing is not enough to change things,we always continue to believe. I believe in love despite the fact that I have been disappointed so many times. I believe in my future even if I don't know at all what will happens to me.

My purpose is not to make people realize that believing is important; Sometimes, believing is not enough. If you hope that the tuition fees in Quebec won't increase, but that you did not go to the manifestation because you were too tired, I personaly hope that the day that you will pay 4700$ for your study, you won't say: At least, I did the maximum I could. If you hope to have a Cote R of 33, but that you prefer to go out with your friends, to work 25 hours a week and to watch TV, don't be disappointed to have 24.

Believing is not enough. If we want that something changes, we need to move !
