honor
"She may have had religious experiences, might have felt something of the closeness of God. Without warning, that sense vanishes. She feels nothing except doubts over all that has gone before. Faith loses all support of feelings, and she wonders if she has been living under illusion. At such a moment it might feel very foolish to hold on to faith regardless. Yet, as Ignatius counsels, now is the time to "stand firm." Faith can survive periods of darkness but only if we cling to it in the midst of the darkness."

i always look at things on at least two angles.after contemplating over it for about 7 days,
and after trying to console myself for what i did,
i came to see multiple points of view.
of course, i had some amount of hope
because of the way it was written.
i did hope there were hidden words written between the lines.
and after the search
i was excited to share my thoughts.
first, i was to say sorry about the whole thing.
then tell the world what my decision had been.
but pain came over me when i opened the page,
it was like a gunshot that instantly killed me.
maybe, this time it's real.
but i am sorry, still.
i could have interpreted it the other way around if it wasn't edited.
the question now is...
how far could my hope go?
and could faith do something about it after this time?
