About This Quote
Faith, as she puts it, is the basis of all her happiness. Without faith, human beings would be unable to face life with joy and acceptance. Faith, as she understands it, is more than just a belief in something; it’s trusting that those who love you will always be there for you even when you cannot see them and cannot hear them. As a child, Faith had a great deal of faith in her parents and siblings and grew up understanding that God was always with her and she had nothing to fear.
She would not find this concept illogical. She has noticed many times that people who will not accept the idea of God are often the ones who do not accept the idea of love and forgiveness.
