Vague

There are time when you choose to believe something that would normally be considered absolutely irrational. It doesn't really mean that it is actually rational, but it surely is not irrational. Perhaps there is suprarationality: reason beyond the normal definition of fact or data-based logic; something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that's where faith fits in.

There are so many things we could never really understand.
But it doesn't mean we've never stopped trying. Maybe that what internal perfection really means.... to strive for something even if it means never reaching it. Atleast, by the time we've stopped struggling, we could still easily wear a smug smile on our faces and say, "We tried."
Of course, that doesn't exactly mean it's OKAY to stiffly stand where you are and leave things the way they are. The world changes -- albeit little by little. You might aswell use this principle to change yourself. Whether you think your at the top of the world, or at the bottom of the slums; know what you want but only take what you need.
