I care to describe a fragment from the book "Faith and doubt" by Antony Bloom, as an answer to a dear person of mine, with a lot of faith towards a person, which her let him down.
"Faith is of many forms. It can be simple, childish, full of light and pure: as in trust, naivety, non-knowledge of evil, courage because one has not lived in cruelty, non-forgiveness, pain inflicted by meanness, intentionally.
This naivety is not a mature faith, is just a start of the faith dicovered in early years and sometimes it is kept in very pure and childish souls.
But this kind of faith is not enough.
It brings one to open up to the person beside him but with great grief as a price, and, in the mean time,it can not protect him from his mistakes.
And us, we are responsible for those we open up to.
On one hand, they can bring pain and sufferance (not to speak of great joy they can bring).On the other hand, if we obey to their will, we can create within them all that's evil and all the closure of what makes a person great.
Childish trust is not enough.
It has to exist another faith, much more mature. First of all, a solid faith, profound, in the fact that a person is full of light, truth and a lot of creative possibilities in developing himself.
If he is sustained,inspired, the chaos that exists in him could become his star.
This kind of faith is the trust in the fact that light and the justice within him shall win. This faith, this trust is not naivety. It grows along with life experience, based on self awareness, on understanding of life and of people."
