“When he told me to run, I

basement that could connect people from the four corners of the

Mankind repeatedly shows a certain power that has enabled us to
make something from our imagination spring into reality. This power is
called faith: the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
not seen, or, simply put, trusting in something you cannot explicitly
prove.
It’s such a natural thing to do that we don’t even realise when we are
doing it. People board the bus each day with no clue as to the driver’s
credentials, but they have faith that this stranger will get them from
point A to B. Faith — the natural kind (yes, there is another kind) — is
a ‘sixth sense’, an additional sense, which depends on the other senses
to achieve its objectiv
