Has anyone ever thought about that famous philosophical question, "If a tree falls, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?" I've been thinking about that question, because I can be kind of philosophical sometimes, and I realized something.
I hate that question.
The regular person answers such a question with, "of course it does." Why do they answer this way? Because they have faith. They have faith in the laws of nature. They have faith in things that they cannot see or hear. Questions like that come from people who run from faith, who pompously believe that human logic is the only rational base for truth. But I swear, if the human race loses its ability to have faith, then it will lose everything. Faith is the drive for hope. Faith is the drive for friendship and love. Faith is the drive for Christianity. If we forsake our faith, then we forsake our ability to live a life of humility.
So I don't play the fool. The tree most definitely makes a sound.
