How important is faith to life or to giving life purpose, direction and meaning?

April 7th, 2010

I have been thinking of faith, doubt and fear a lot lately. I realise how important faith is (not necesseraliy faith in the religious sense) but faith in something…an idea. a philosophy, culture or tradition etc….the greatest sorts of people have faith in themselves or their own dream\idea.

Sometimes I note that doubt and fear are opposites in a sense…

But I also note that this faith i describe leads idealism, and idealism can lead to error….

another paradox of life.

  • Faith and doubt both are needed – not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve. – Lillian Smith
