We look for answers to the questions we have. We look where we think we will find. But it seems that we don’t even know how to ask the right questions. It’s easy to claim to understand and embrace the platitudes of faith, but do we really? Does anyone live the platitudes, or are they just like us, trying to live out what only seems like a platitude?
We cannot even know what others are thinking or living, because all are either simply trying to live out the structure of a faith that they might not even understand. Or they may be lying about what they really are.
But then again, we very well too may be lying, even to ourselves. The first step to resolving this, at least in our own thinking, is to recognize what we may be doing, give consideration to the observations of others about us and honestly assess these observations.
