To live, to be able to exist, the mind must connect itself with some kind of order. It must apprehend reality as an independent whole… it must bind itself in a stable fashion to certain features of what we call reality.
The mind lives, and we live, in a relationship of faith with reality itself.
We live and exist in this relationship of confidence, which is always by its nature “uncertain” and “insecure.”
