and faith is one



scepticism is a virtue, but risks becoming cynicism.
cynicism is a vice.

faith is a virtue, but risks becoming belief.
this is a weakness.

may we hold scepticism close;
may faith hold us closer.

but let us not belittle the beliefs of others,
for although beliefs are legion they may lead to faith.

and faith is one.

  1. This is amazingly profound. I may have to reblog this, if you don't mind.
    I am a big fan of King Crimson, especially their 60's output like the album "Islands".
