My philosophy, faithism, is based off the belief that everyone has a purpose and everything happens for a reason. Although people don’t always know what that reason is and they usually don’t understand it or agree with it it’s always there. I don’t think that people should always try to understand the reason, they need to have faith in it, and that doesn’t always involve an understanding of it. I know that faithism is a lot like theism, but I think that people need to have faith in other things, as well as God.
· There is a God who works through the Trinity.
· People are capable of having a personal relationship with God.
· People should not expect God to fix all of their problems. They need to take an active role in following His lead to fix the problems.
· Relationships with other people are the best way to find happiness in life. It doesn’t come from material things.
· People are naturally good, although it is in human nature to want to better yourself and your position. This is ok, as long as it is not done at the expense of another person.
· People have free will and they must choose how to guide their lives.
· Taking pride in your work and following through on a commitment CAN give you satisfaction and is a necessity in life.
· Work hard now and be devoted to the task you have in front of you, and you will be rewarded with even greater things later.
My parents have been teaching me these things all of my life. I truly live my life by these principles and I believe in them to the fullest. I think that these are important because I am very happy living by them and I couldn’t imagine living any other way. I am so thankful to my parents for teaching me to live this way, because I believe that I have had one of the best lives I could have possibly had and I think that it is because of these principles that I was raised by.
