Do you believe in God?             Do you believe in God? Apparently, not everyone does. This is an intriguing question that I couldn’t answer myself even I wanted to. Do I believe? Do you believe? I have gotten to the point where I almost lost my faith. I have gotten to the point when I did my best to make myself believe. Maybe my faith isn’t as strong as how it supposed to be, like the others, and how I wished it to be. I am no wise to oppose anything or anyone. I am not against and I’m not into contradiction. Agnostic, I consider myself. I suppose I answered the first question myself and it seems that it is meant for me. Have you ever fallen in love?             Have you ever fallen in love?
