Faith !

After searching movies for half n' hour on DC, I ended up downloading movie TROY (starring Brad Pitt as Achilles...he is just awesome), I was going to watch it for one more time. But this time as I was watching the movie, I was thinking about new aspects I realised after watching it. I liked the movie a great deal even though it was long. It was very entertaining and loosely based on Homer’s The Iliad, along with Greek mythology. So long as it’s even close to how the ancients thought about the gods, it’s enlightening. The confidence they had when they spoke of the gods of Apollo or Poseidon or Zeus was absolutely amazing to me. According to Greek mythology when Achilles was born, his mother, Thetis, tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the river Styx. As she immersed him, she held him by one heel and forgot to dip him a second time so the heel she held could get wet too. Therefore, the place where she held him remained untouched by the magic water of the Styx and that part stayed mortal or vulnerable. Achilles died from a heel wound as the result of a poisoned arrow fired by Paris. To this day, any weak point is called an “Achilles’ heel”.
Aha....don't think that I am going to write everything about TROY....that was just introduction to what I am going write. The idea I want to discuss is the Concept or faith in Almighty GOD... Almost everyone has faith in HIM. I was thinking that , am I superstitious ? Do I blindly follow some signs or what? ya.. I found out myself superstitious to some extent. I do many things though I know doing those really won't change anything . But still my mind can't controll myself at that point of time. That point is perticularly exam time. If I do well in first paper then many times ,it follows that I am going to wear same dress through out the exam. I really don't understand why am I doing this. This is completely unrelated to exam but still I do it most of the times. Umm...one more thing..in this semester , I happen to eat one cadbury before many tests and the one on which I didn't , resulted in bad performance. I know that eating a cadbury will not make my paper better than how it is gonna to be. Still I eat it , just for a blind faith. I know that I am not the only person who do all such stupid acts before exams. I have seen many doing very arbit kind stuff before exams....writing with perticular pen, to listen to perticular song before leaving, to take same pad for writing and many like this ( you can mention your habbits in comments, I would love to read those. )
My question is, why do we do all such stuff though we know the truth? is it just because of fear that make us to do these? ....I think its not the fear which drives us . We just think that doing this things will not make any harm so whats the problem. Doing these kind of things only boost us psychologically. What is Faith ? Faith is a spiritual substance. When you have this spiritual substance in you, it communicates to you a certain inner knowing that the thing you are hoping for is certainly established, even before you see any material evidence that it has happened. Faith only raises your confidence level and make you feel comfortable with the tension you are going to handle. So have a faith in something you believe and enjoy the life as it is going.................
