Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
One definition of faith is the belief in something that can be neither proven nor seen. I’ve chosen to accept ideas about character, my nation, my family, and other things—many of which I’ve experienced incompletely or secondhand. But I can force myself to think about them, to challenge my understanding of these notions and do intellectual due diligence when I have the courage to do so. In other words, faith is an ever-evolving business that requires regular thought if it’s going to stand up to the daily vicissitudes of life.
