Quote by Helen Keller, Let Us Have Faith,

I know that faith made my life possible and that of many others like me... Reason hardly warranted Anne Sullivan's attempt to transform a little half-human, half-animal, deaf-blind child into a complete human being.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Helen Keller, explains the role of faith in her life and how it enabled her to overcome incredible challenges. Keller recognizes that reason alone would not have justified the efforts of Anne Sullivan to educate her, considering her deaf-blind condition. It was faith, rooted in love and guided by a deep connection to God, that motivated and supported her transformation. Keller goes on to describe how faith not only gave her a sense of purpose and the knowledge of her own soul but also serves as her driving force in finding harmony in a world that is often challenging. For Keller, faith is not a mere backup plan but rather an active, energizing force that fuels her efforts.

In reality, Republicans have long been at war with clean energy. They have ridiculed investments in solar and wind power, bashed energy-efficiency standards, attacked state moves to promote renewable energy and championed laws that would enshrine taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuels while stripping them from wind and solar.

I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.
