He is risen today! Yay! =)

Just a short note of what i heard today, which did set me thinking. It was about why people tend to doubt more readily than they believe?

1. Doubting is contagious. yeah.. we are creatures that follow our peers so easily.
   
2. Doubting is passive. don't have to do anything to doubt. so easy. (but then again, does it take much to believe?)
3. Doubting satisfies our tendency towards self-protection. I think this is so very true. We seldom choose a path that we're unsure of whether we'd be harmed in the process. When risk assessment is not available, we just play safe. this is survival's instinct.
4. Doubters are easier to find than friends of faith. I tribute this to the above 3 points.

If only believing was easier than doubting. can't we all have more faith and trust in the things around us? =)
