The Most Important Things
"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."
- Stephen King, 'Stand By Me'

how come im not getting notified when someone comments? i think i have to set it up here .. ^_^
out of topic already. when is faith not superstitious?
faith: firm belief in something for which there is no proof
superstitious: swayed by superstition. a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation
[max] .. false conception of causation .. when people win the lottery, survive a fatal accident/sickness, pass the difficult test/exam. as maybe simple as the driving exam. or making it in time preventing a tardy mark in school. people thank god for it. are people being faithful or just plain superstitious?

Max, yes you can set it up from the blogger admin site. Maybe add a link to dangerousreviewers and vice versa on the sidebar. I don't know how to add it. Something similar to the 'links' section in your blog.
"Faith is belief in something for which there is no proof," is a dictionary definition of Faith.
For people who have faith, it is believing in Something in which the proof is highly and strictly personal and non-tangible experience (often of emotional and spiritual context). And since it's personal, emotional, and intangible, it's hard to explain it to others who have not had the same experience. The proof (experience) is not something that'll come to you either, although it's always been there waiting to be discovered. Instead, it's something you have to search for and be willing to accept as such once encountered.
The question is, once encountered, are you open and willing to accepted it? If you aren't, then it will not be The Proof to you even though you've been staring right at it all this time.
