To describe myself, I offer two related yet individually important facts. First, we are each incredibly important! Furthermore, it is beyond important that we all express just who we are! Never let anyone discourage you from that which flows from your true self, whether it be appearance or opinion for both *should* reflect you.

"As with all nature, we must evolve or stagnate.

We cannot trade ourselves in without denying who we are.
All that we ever are forms the foundation for who we will be.
Becoming is a journey born of natural selection."

As there are all types of faith, it's understandable that it must be specified which is being asked about. Yet, herein lies the rub for it's religion rather than faith that can cause societal problems. Religious faith is indeed the most infamous of all faiths since it helps create the fervor that gives religion its ego. Whatever form faith takes, using it as an excuse to further a cause ...
