I wondered, now that his days were dwindling, how important ritual still was. Vital, he said. But why? Deep inside, you know your convictions. Mitch, he said, faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.

(0 Reviews)

In the excerpt from Mitch Albom's "Have a Little Faith," the author reflects on the significance of rituals, particularly as time becomes limited. The conversation emphasizes that rituals hold essential value, especially when facing life's final moments. One character asserts that faith transcends mere belief; it is about actions and how one lives out their convictions.

This perspective suggests that true faith is demonstrated through one's deeds rather than just internal beliefs. Albom conveys a message that what we do defines us and our beliefs more profoundly than what we profess to think, highlighting the importance of living a life consistent with one's values and commitments.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
