Belief
The Sun moved around the Earth, which sat upon the back of a tortoise. The power of the divine was vested in kings and queens. Ideas need not be real to shape our lives, for good or for bad. Here we find ourselves, trying to make sense of this vast, confused universe. We observe and explain, but there is no one to check our answers, no sourcebook to consult. We create world-views to explain ourselves to ourselves; some seek answers in elusive objectivity, while others feel with certainty that the answers have come from on high. Our minds demand a reason: for life, for death, for love, for pain. Belief provides us that reason. It clothes us so that we need not stand naked against the terror of the unknown. The power of belief is infinite. It has led us away from ignorance and tyranny. We can choose where it will take us next.
