Belief.

Belief is another one of those weird words. The dictionary defines it as an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists; something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction; a religious conviction; trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something. Although these are definitions of belief, there's an unspoken definition of belief that is different within each of us. Some find it easy to believe in G-d, some find it really hard and struggle with it. Although Atheists, people who don't believe that G-d exists, are looked down upon, I feel bad for them. I think that some Atheists really want to believe that there is an all-knowing power that exists, but they just really struggle with that idea of belief.
However, what Avraham did was so beyond belief it's not even funny. He was brought up in a society that was so not connected to anything other than idols, and he completely rejected this idea and thought that there was a higher power. He believed that there was something that created everything around him, and he pursued these ideas and even spread them. The society that he lived in punished him for this, maybe even because they were afraid that people would actually come to the realization that this is real, which would mean that they were wrong all along. We learned that Avraham learned this from a young age, and he rebelled, and even destroyed his father's idols. It's crazy to think that one person can just believe in something that seemed so radical to everyone around him, and differed from everything that he had ever known.
I think belief is another one of those things that we are always striving for, but not always so successful. We all really want to be those people who have this strong belief in Hashem and maybe even a connection, but for some of us it's so hard. We should be thankful that we have such an amazing opportunity to be around a community that is accepting and encouraging of pursuing our beliefs - as opposed to Avraham who didn't have this.
