About This Quote

It’s hard to trust in something that you cannot prove is true. It’s hard to invest in something that you can’t guarantee will pay off or help you live up to that investment. Faith can seem like a trap, tricking us into believing that things are better than they are. We may be motivated by it, but faith can keep us from doing the work that would let us know for sure how things really are.
