Reason is the souls right hand, and Faith her right
~John Donne
Wise words from a wise author. Taking meaning in this is easy if you just simply take it at face value, but there is something deeper here. You see faith is taking the first step even if you cannot see the rest of the stair case!
I ask that all of you have that faith. Not in god, not in your nation, not in your government. No not in any of that... I ask that you have faith in your fellow man.
It is said that in all men is a glimmer of good, no matter how evil they may seem. I my self being a priest, I am taught and teach that all men are good, even if they do evil things. The only truly evil thing is the indifference of good men!
I have, as of late, had my own faith tested in a major may... Beyond my issues with my Exwife, I have been having doubts about humans. I almost allowed my self to become indifferent, and in doing so I nearly became evil. I try constantly to keep the faith and hold my head above the ever deepening ocean of life. At time I nearly find my self drowning, but I remain strong.
Now I ask that you all try to do the same!.. I believe we together can change the world one smile, one held door, one polite gesture at a time. It's contagious, if you are simply a good polite person people will notice and start to act the same.
This sermon is coming about because someone special to me is having an enormous amount of faith in me. She is believing that I will succeed in my ventures, and in my life in general. I got to thinking about this today and realized that no one has ever had faith in me before, and I will wager a bet that most of you have felt the same... that is that you have felt like no one is there to have faith in you... well I'm here to tell you that I have faith in you all !
All of you that read this please comment ! Express your faith in the human race to triumph over the indifference ~!
