Faithless.

People exercise faith all the time.

Faith in the tram driver as you hop on the tram - that he will drive the allocated routes, stop at the designated places, and not choose to, in the spur of a moment, drive into the vehicle ahead. Faith in the chef at the restaurant you happen to be eating at - that he hasn't had a bad day and just decided to throw in some rat poison amongst the fettucine. Faith in the rollercoaster operator before you jump in - that he will control the ride dutifully, not stopping it in mid-air, leaving you clinging onto your life 100m above ground.

You can't live without faith. Too many decisions we make require some form of it.

Unfortunately it is too easy to lose faith. When you are let down. When people disappoint you. When promises are broken. Of course, it isn't a one-off thing. Everyone makes mistakes. But when it happens time and time again, you really start to think you would be an idiot to continue hoping.

At times like that, you don't care if the tram driver drives the correct routes, goes to the designated places, or decides to run into another vehicle. You don't care if the chef had a bad day or the rollercoaster operator loses his mind.

I guess that's what faithless living is like.
