Faith in your sacrifice for what you believe

Science is a representation of reason and rationality, so much so that it has the faith of many adherents in different facets of life, from the professional to the personal. However, more and more we learn that, life is full of mysteries unknown, unexplained and unsolved, ones that leave us staring blankly at our computers, calculators and rulers wondering how it all is or what that was. It can be during these trying times when one turns themselves towards hope, prayer and meditation, all of which are foundations of faith.

Today on Remembrance Day, in memoriam we give thanks in our pause to all those who have fallen and made the ultimate sacrifice, allowing we that continue living to enjoy the freedoms, responsibilities and shared common values that define our democratic society as one that is not the same as those we fought and hopefully never will be!

A test of faith can also be an examination of science, both cause us to look at our humanity and dig down deep into our soul to do what is right, or at least what at that exact time seems to be the right thing for us to do. As humans we are fallible, make errors and mistake, but recognize that repentance and forgiveness in all our sins, debts and trespasses, which is why in all of us, we have the ability to do right, good and just, even when the opposite in action is made. Like those fallen soliders and living veterans, we need to make, not break, faith with the past sacrifice and continue believing in it into the future, so we do not end up asking was it worth it?
