To my mind, faith is like being in the sun. When you are in the sun, can you avoid creating a shadow? Can you shake that area of darkness that clings to you, always shaped like you, as if constantly to remind you of yourself? You cant. This shadow is doubt. And it goes wherever you go as long as you stay in the sun. And who wouldnt want to be in the sun?
