Summary

This quote speaks to the importance of faith in the existence and longevity of both individuals and societies. Just as human beings rely on faith for spiritual and emotional well-being, so do societies rely on collective beliefs and trust in order to function and thrive. When faith diminishes or disappears in a society, it signifies a loss of unity and mutual understanding, leading to social degradation or collapse. Ultimately, the quote serves as a reminder of the profound role that faith plays in sustaining human existence and collective well-being.
