The most important change that can
occur in a person’s life is a change in their faith.
Individuals die, but the Wisdom
they have obtained in their lives does not die with them. Mankind keeps all
this wisdom, and a person uses the wisdom of those who lived before him.
The education of mankind reminds
me of the creation of the ancient pyramids, in that everyone who lives puts
another stone in the foundation.
We are
temporary visitors in this world; after we are educated, we are called to
different places, and we pass away. But the general education of mankind goes
on, very slowly but without interruption.
— After
GIUSEPPE MAZZINI
It is a big mistake to think that
faith is immutable, that it does not change over generations. The longer mankind
exists, its faith becomes simpler and stronger. And the simpler and stronger
our faith becomes, the better we live.
If you believe that faith is the
same for all times and that it cannot be changed, you might just as well believe
that those fairy tales and proverbs and children’s stories which your
grandmother told you when you were a small baby are real, and that you ought to
believe in them all your life.
