Faith vs. Trust

The problems of man can never be solved, in that they are his ordinary consciousness.

There is faith and there is trust.  Faith is the hopeful ignorance of the ordinary, and is always tied to thought-thinking about your faith, while trust is a non-verbal assurance silently arising from the understanding of those who know.

The secret clue to doing This is not in finding a solution, but in discovering the problem.

There is unknown territory at both ends of the nervous system; the musky dark of the past and the blinding uncertainty of the future; and ordinary; civilized men fear them both.

Understanding is conditionally satisfying, while ordinary knowledge is absolutely disconcerting.
