You Gotta Have Faith

In the face of such unimaginable adversity, Pi’s loyalty to his faith is truly inspirational. Unlike many who readily declare their devotion and love for God during good times, but falter and doubt when some thing goes wrong, Pi never questioned God. His exceptional faith and love for God was revealed even before the shipwreck. In spite of the religious leaders’ protest and his family’s discouragement, Pi continued to practice Hinduism, Catholicism, and Islam. During his time at sea, Pi never questioned or blamed his misfortune on God. He never felt sorry for himself, but accepted things as they came. If anything, he turned to God when a new challenge arises. He even goes so far as to thank God when he accomplishes something. Pi’s unconditional faith and love for God is something to be admired by all who believe in a superior being. To love and believe in someone wholeheartedly the way Pi loves God is truly inspirational. His miraculous survival shows how faith is capable of overcoming even the most unimaginable calamities. He survived because his faith in God survived.
