Why Do You Believe?

Why do you believe? Because others have educated you in the faith? Because you learned it that way in school? Because this is still common in this country? Because the believers seem to still have the majority? Because you do not worry too much about your faith? Then I answered: You shalt know why I believe: I believe because I can not believe that only lies and violence have the last word, that people must live in strife against each other, that ultimately everything is meaningless. I believe because I do not think it is all coincidence. Because I believe that love keeps me alive. Because I believe that there is one who knows the meaning of everything.
