"I don't care what you believe, but believe in something."

- Shepherd Book, Serenity

You have to have faith. Not necessarily the believe in God type faith, but faith in life, faith in yourself, faith that things will work out the way they are supposed to work out. We make choices, we learn lessons. Sometimes the most important lessons are learned after the fact. We hope and pray that we haven't damaged anything to the point where we cannot return, but generally, we have, and we can't.

Faith is like hope, but not the double edged sword. Hope can lead us to believe that something we want to happen will, even though it may have no chance. Faith believes that things will happen the way they are supposed to happen, and to have faith allows us to pursue our own happiness. Even if we're unsure that we're on the right path.

So have a little faith. Believe that, as Voltaire said, things happen for a reason, and therefore it must be the very best reason.
