Dear World,
You haven't been too bad lately. Quite a few gunners on the loose but they haven't made big news because they haven't been big shootings. Still we must try hard to pray for the souls of the departed. Let us now look into the temptations of being wrong. You are yourself, and when you believe something and for that reason to you it seems right. This then becomes your opinion. This opinion however must be correct or incorrect. Take the existence of God. Sure, it may be your opinion that he doesn't exist. But it's not that he doesn't exist for you but he does for others. He either does exist or doesn't. Therefore don't go about asserting just your opinion. There is something more needed than opinions from your crazy mind. For one of you will be right, and if God does exist a soul could be saved if one were lead to believe in Him. Like this there is the problem of chance, which I shall save for a later date, as its existence is not pertinent with this letter.
Now after finding that your opinion isn't important to the matter of truth let us look at the problem with believing that you are always right. For one have you given the sources of your correctness? Most arguments lead into battles that don't provide proof for their correctness. If you provide the proof than you prove your belief. But if you don't, you provide your opinion. Faith itself is much stronger than any opinion you can find. Therefore next time you feel right, while the other is wrong have faith. Your opinion won't ever be as appreciated as your faith. Prove that you fly without error, not that you get aggravated at the others ignorance. They may not be as ignorant as you opinionate, because they might actually have decent faith. Whether the faith is true or false doesn't matter because it still has the added proof.
This faith is not the faith you wish to debate after reading that previous point. This simple faith is proven. There is also another faith, which is more to have faith in someone. This cannot be proven as sure by mere science. This deeper faith is proven through grace. Grace either received from One higher than us, or through actions done in our favor. This faith includes that faith which you believe based off of how it has changed your life. Not how it has been proven to you. Nor should it be. For if a friend must prove their friendship to you through science, what kind of a friend would that be? But if you have faith that they are truly your friend, than that faith is allowed to grow into love. That love then expands into hope. This route will lead you to a truth stronger than even the lesser proven faith. But keep in mind, don't let this faith either be opinion. For if it is your opinion that he is your friend, but it is not his opinion that he is your friend, is he really your friend? I think not.
Therefore World, do not be lost in the rightness of your opinions. But be found in the correctness of your faith. Grow both your lesser and higher faiths until through both one just needs to look at you to know the truth. Use the proof of your lesser faith to point out flaws in the arguer. Use the true-ness of your higher faith to show your correct. That is the route to being right.
Your Simple Atom,
The College Student
