Belief

"But supposing one believed and was wrong after all? Suppose there is nothing but what we see. Why, then you would have paid the universe a compliment it doesn't deserve. Your error would even so be more interesting and important than the reality. And yet, how could that be? How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?" (C.S. Lewis)

In everything have faith, for at the end of time, it will be better to say "I didn't understand everything, I couldn't explain all that I saw, yet I still believed". People may think kindly of a person who loved too much, trusted a bit further than they should have, thought more of something than they ought to- but there is little honor remaining for those who "trusted none", who was suspicious and doubted everything, who had no faith. Even in our friendships we remember those who most often gave us the benefit of the doubt. Better to trust with everything and be wrong than to believe in nothing at all.
