Faith: Security and Risk

The title is the title of a book my friend -Richard- wrote a few years ago.

Is faith a search for security?
Is faith the reason for taking risk?
Note that faith is not necessarily religious.

"Faith is the state of being ultimately concerned... If it lays claim to ultimacy it demands total surrender of him, who accepts this claim, and it promises total fulfillment."
Paul Tillich , The Dynamics of Faith

"Success and Happiness must come, and the less one cares for them, they more they can."
Victor Frankl, The Will to Meaning

You know what? It all boils down to Psychology at the end!

Talk to me! ...
Talk to me about your fears...
From your feelings of insecurity...

"Those who have the faith of children will also have the troubles of children"
Robert Hugh Benson, The light Invisible
