Today's Track : Aha - Take On Me

Here’s something I read that was interesting…

"Randomness is a useful shorthand for describing a pattern that’s bigger than anything we can hold in our minds. Letting go of randomness is one of the hardest decisions a person can make."

Which I suppose is the same as saying that having faith in something that’s unknown is the hardest decision a person can make. For some of us that might be religion; it might be love; it could be certain events in our life that we’ve deemed to be signs of something greater than their mere face value. Whatever it is I find that we’re living in a time where a lot of our emphasis is placed on science and technology. As a species, randomness is something that we’ve tried to avoid for awhile. As a generation, from what I’ve seen in my friends, family and peers – we’re the generation without faith. Should that disturb us? I’m not quite sure if it should. What role does faith play in a meaningful life?
