got faith?

got faith?

r u like me?
once believed that faith would set u free..
that life is aimless
and that maybe a faith (in whatever) would give me meaning
and set me free.

but i realised today
that maybe im leadin the free life already--
faith can bind.
faith, which i thought could set us free, can bind.

i was just talkin to a fren,
and i realised
that her thinking is bound
her mind is closed to ideas
and her heart believes in a certain truth
and she takes it as nothing but the truth.

and i contrast it with dr. mohanan's lect today -
"in university we learn how to think,
how to question,
and not believe that whatever u're told is true."

some people just take a certain truth
as the absolute truth.
even when offered scientific findings,
they choose to think human constructed these findings
and that truth remains the truth.

im glad im not closed to ideas
and im glad ive learnt to question.
to question everything i learn outside
and to question in the home.
both the external and internal.

i may be the ultimate fool on earth
to not believe in that absolute truth
as so proclaimed.
but i wish for you my friends
that you'll open your mind to greater things.
Man discovers, spreads, and believes.
ah, Man.
