"I guess the question is, just because people stop believing in honor and kindness and truth, does that necessarily mean that they no longer exist, or that they are no longer true? Are these things only kept alive through human action, or is there perhaps a greater source of these ideals that we just tap into with our belief?"
-WonderDuck
That is THE question to me. Why? Because whenever life falls through, when my dreams crumble like hollow earth, and nothing goes right...Honor, trust, kindness, love, truth....That is what I live for. I live because I know that there ARE noble things. My heart has ideals. They keep me going. They are pure and untainted by me, they are higher than anything I could dream up.
So, yes, I must be believing in a greater source who is helping me along. Because believe I do. Thank you.

"They are pure and untainted by me".
You know, I had never thought of it that way. That's kind of an eye-opener. I had always rather believed the same way you do -- that human action doesn't create honor or truth or love, but rather that it perpetuates those ideals. But I had never considered the idea that these ideals can unequivacably be a part of you, and yet be totally beyond your power to influence. Or at least not in so many words.
Wow. Read your blog, get an epiphany. You should put a warning label in your titles. I wasn't prepared to be that intellectually stimulated. I was trying to slack off. Thanks. :p
