Seeing Is Not Believing

"Just because you can't see air doesn't mean you stop breathing; Just because you can't see God doesn't mean you stop believing." -the Internet.

This quote means a great deal to me for many reasons. I find this quote so inspirational because sometimes you can doubt your faith because you cannot see God. This quote provides you with a whole new look on your faith. When I first heard this quote, I thought about the way you can so easily believe in something because it is "cool." Society teaches us to believe in something because it is acceptable to our peers. The more important things in life are those which people tend to push aside because in reality they are scared of it whether it be college, God or even the future. It reminds me of how easily people can be convinced of something if the right person says it. In the quote, there is an analogy between air and God. They play the same role. Air is around us even though you can't see it and God is present even if you can't see him. Instead of breathing air to live this life, we believe in God for eternal life. The quote changes logic by contradicting the thought that you must see something for it to be real.
