Ancient Wisdom About Wisdom

"To know that you know, and to know that you don't know - that is real wisdom." - Confucius

And he probably coined the old corollary - "To say that you know when you know that you don't know - that's just stupid."

Statement of Faith

My personal impression of God is the creator of life and the universe, not only as we understand it, but also as we don't understand it. That means that faith for me includes believing that things will be good even if I don't understand how. And as a personal journey, my life is so rich that even its lowest moments demand little true sacrifice, far less than those who have died for my freedom.

So although tomorrow is cloudy, there's no reason to fear. God understands what I do not, and sees what I do not. And together we'll pass safely to the other side.
