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.
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.
