An abiding and true faith knows that we are capable of great majesty. We are capable of rising above our greed, our petty need to dominate, and of organizing our societies so that all mankind and living things have a place therein.
Yet this potential, this unbounded capacity, is ironically circumvented by those of alleged faith who have no vision, no foresight and believe that paradise can only be realized in depletion and death.
True faith rejects this misanthropy. True faith, while not without sacrifice, (if it is a sacrifice to do the right thing) holds that all things are possible and within our potential and that paradise will only be realized by those who are willing to champion it here and now.
