We often refer to faith, hope and charity as important human qualities. I was thinking about what they really mean.
FAITH: We live in a natural and human world which is driven by chance and randomness. We work to find meaning in life, fighting against gnawing thoughts of life fully out of our control. Faith affirms meaning.
HOPE: We have no certainty in our futures. Why plan? Why sacrifice? Why invest ourselves? Hope give us the courage to commit ourselves to life.
CHARITY: Humans depend on one another to survive. But to thrive and to learn to love requires charity. Charity is an action of love.
