Faith is a funny thing. It spans throughout more than just religion. Faith is often the cornerstone of motivation. However, it is also often the keystone to ignorance. We humans cling to it when we need support and guidance and we also cling to it to serve as the foundation of our beliefs, even if a belief is proven wrong. I know that there are a few who will read this and instantly think that I am referring only to religion, but that is but one of the many referrals. The often sad truth is that people will ignore the truth even when they know it to be correct simply because being wrong can feel like dying. A belief serves as the roots of identity and humans cling to that identity as if it were who they were.

But is it? Could you live without your identity?

Of course you can. An identity is only a mental construct. And as we all know, those constructs are often challenged and defeated. The question is how much resistance are you willing to push forth before you take a look at what is right in front of your face?
