About This Quote
It is difficult to describe faith. You cannot explain faith what-so-ever. So you have to land on faith before you can even begin to hike around to its flip side, betrayal. This is because as you gain faith, you gain trust and as you gain trust, you also gain the ability to see the good in people.
And this is a trait people lack. Faith makes it possible for us humans to see the good in each other. It allows us to work together and achieve multiple goals even if we have different backgrounds and beliefs.
