/^t/One of the most fundamental aspects of a human being is his ability to believe. If not for believing we wouldn't be probably able to love, work or dream. To believe is to create meaning and sense. To believe is to stand face to face with your own life. From the moment we are born we struggle to believe. A baby believes in mother's feeding breast. A mother believes that her child will grow up happily. A lover believes in his making love. A gardener believes that his tree will bear fruit. A sinner believes in God's mercy. I believe that faith is what makes us human. If we assume that every human being attempts to apprehend his reality, strives to fulfil oneself and above all yearns to attain happiness, then we must assume that faith is the testimony of our humanity.
