   I liked this part: "What we are most responsible for is the person that we become, a person based on the choices that we ourselves have freely made. And every step we take, every action, every choice to do anything is ultimately an act of faith. Most of the time, thankfully, we live with an ongoing sense of certainty. We imagine that the world is predictable enough to support us. Then there are those moments in which everything gets swept away. We lose a job, we crash a car, a loved one passes, and I liked this part: "What we are most responsible for is the person that we become, a person based on the choices that we ourselves have freely made.

We imagine that the world is predictable enough to support us. Then there are those moments in which everything gets swept away. We lose a job, we crash a car, a loved one passes, and we realize that nothing was ever certain. And yet we have to act as if it is or live paralyzed by doubt. And in that way, everything is at risk. To believe in anything is a risk. To not believe is also a risk. Anything we do is a risk. Not doing anything is also a risk. We might decide to avoid all risk by believing nothing and doing nothing. That is very risky. Better to believe and act wholeheartedly, always ready to see again and change our minds."
