Summary

This quote suggests that faith is helpful and beneficial in times when everything is clear and evident. However, during a crisis or urgent situation, relying solely on faith may not be sufficient. In such situations, a more pragmatic and practical approach, represented by the use of microscopes as a metaphor, is necessary. It conveys the idea that relying on rationality, evidence, and observation can be more reliable and efficient in addressing emergencies.

In my early life, and probably even today, it is not sufficiently understood that a child's education should include at least a rudimentary grasp of religion, sex, and money. Without a basic knowledge of these three primary facts in a normal human being's life --subjects which stir the emotions, create events and opportunities, and if they do not wholly decide must greatly influence an individual's personality --no human being's education can have a safe foundation.
