Faith

Most people have faith in religion which is, of course, good to lead our direction in life.
But, we must use the faith together with the reality. We cannot depend our life in faith of heaven, neglecting real life.
Century ago, there was a man who had deep faith in God. One day his home was flooded by water from mountain and he himself had to climb to the roof of his house.
At this time, a small boat came along wishing to rescue him, but he rejected thinking God will come to save him, not by human.
Water flooded the top, he floated in the flood and another boat arrived to help him and he again refused. Finally, he died in the flood.
After death, he came to God, complaining why God did not rescue him since he was such a devoted, believer to God. God replied that he did send two boats to rescue him but it was his own fault to refuse rescue.
From here we can see that faith is important, but we must not neglect the reality which is clearly connected with our life.
