Facts and Faith

Facts and faith are both parts of our every day mortality. It doesn't matter if we consider our self to be a person of faith or a scholar of facts and figures, the core existence of every individual is based on both areas. This might be hard to swallow since these extremes often seem to be at odds with one another and are so often portrayed that way. The truth is, we all have areas of our life where we depend on fact and other areas where we rely on faith. This is just part of our being thrust into this physical world at birth, and trying to survive to the best of our abilities until our death.

If facts and faith are not accurately passed along to the next generation, then these treasures naturally die-off and become distorted. When the next generation (and generations to follow) inherit incorrect facts and/or faith, then those areas become filled with incorrect information to fill the void. Truths are replaced with falsehoods, which then become our heir's legacy.

What can you do about it? Make a little effort to insure that those things which you've found to be important in your life and in the lives of your loved ones is passed along to your children. As your children age and mature, the little gems you've given to them will enrich their life and help them to see through the veils of confusion, deception and uncertainty.
