Faith

Abstract

There are some words that have the ability to express something in its entirety. Words such as justice, beauty, and truth possess a power and completeness that prevents us from surrounding them with adjectives to make them more complete. What else is there to add to a real person, a righteous man, or a beautiful life? Faith is one of those few great and absolute types of words. You can live long, and sometimes even well, without money and goods, but you cannot live without believing. We are all capable of believing because inside each person there is a “window” open to what is “beyond,” and a slit remains there even when we, looking inward, no longer see anything or wall it up to put shelves or a television in its place. Because faith is a great word to describe what is human, it is also a word to use in the context of economics.
