That’s why Amos trusted the captain. When he said something, it was because he believed it. No need to analyze it or figure out what he really meant by it. Even when the captain fucked up, he was acting in good faith. Amos hadn’t met many people like that.
Nemesis Games
James S. A. Corey
How sad it is if we pass through life and never see it through the eyes of a child. We need to return to paradise; we need to be redeemed again. We need to put off the old man, the old nature, the conditioned self, and return to the state of the child, but without being a child.
