What do you have faith in?

Wash your mouth out with soap, bubbeh.

[zippyknowsbest]

I'll take that backhanded compliment in the spirit I'm sure you mean it as, and say "thanks."

[alan_shore]

You know my answer.

[zippyknowsbest]

I do? Nu, you're so sure?

[alan_shore]

I have every confidence in you. Let me know if you need a hint.

[zippyknowsbest]

Well, depending on how flippant you're in the mood to be, I'd say your answer might be friendship, and might be the human capacity to mess things up for ourselves-- but I'm willing to be corrected on either count.

Or maybe just be told all you have faith in is flippancy.

That people will serve their own interests (even as pretending to care for something greater than themselves).

[zippyknowsbest]

Hmm.

Do you think they fool themselves about that?

[kara_marie]

The particularily stupid ones. Yeah. Every fucking day.

There's exceptions. I think they used to be called Saints. Or maybe just crazy.

[zippyknowsbest]

What do you think of motherhood-- or fatherhood-- in light of that? If a parent claims to care for their child more than themselves, are they lying and/or deluding themselves? Or nuts?

Zippy! Haven't seen you for ages!

That evil exists, but so do the people that will fight the evil.

[zippyknowsbest]

And how's that working out for you?

[lornadoors]

That everything turns out eventually.

[zippyknowsbest]

For good?

[lornadoors]

Aye, in the end, for all it might be awful before that.
