From Socrates to God

 

From Socrates (thinking about) to God (trusting in)

 

Socrates once stated, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” We would add, “An unexamined faith is not worth trusting.” Faith means trust or reliance on someone or something. 

An expanded definition might be that faith is confident trust in what you have good reason to believe. Faith is trust that changes you. And we all exercise faith. Even the act of thinking requires faith that our reason is reliable and our thoughts actually correspond to reality outside of ourselves.

 

(I adapted  this piece of wisdom.)
