Lailah Gifty AkitaFierce faith, hopeful heart
About This Quote
Faith and hope are the two cornerstones of human existence. Faith is the ability to believe something that can’t be proven and hope is the desire to see a distant future come true. Without faith and hope, we would not be able to do anything. However, faith and hope must be balanced with reason and rationality.
Faith and hope must not take over your mind and lead you down a path of insanity. But, faith and hope must also be tempered with reason and rationality so that we can prove our beliefs to be true. This is why faith is important; but, it must be balanced with effective reasoning that can support your faith or hope.
