Faith Asking Questions Doe

More From Martin Luther

O, this faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing! it is impossible that it should not be ceaselessly doing that which is good. it does not even ask whether good works should be done; but before the question can be asked, it has done them, and it is constantly engaged in doing them. but he who does not do such works, is a man without faith. he gropes and casts about him to find faith and good works, not knowing what either of them is, and yet prattles and idly multiplies words about faith and good works.

Whether you believe in god or not does not matter so much, whether you believe in buddha or not does not matter so much; as a buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. you must lead a good life. and a good life does not mean just good food, good clothes, good shelter. these are not sufficient. a good motivation is what is needed: compassion, without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their rights and human dignity.

What should our second generation have done, what should it do with the knowledge of the horrors of the extermination of the jews? we should not believe we can comprehend the incomprehensible, we may not compare the incomparable, we may not inquire because to inquire is to make the horrors an object of discussion, even if the horrors themselves are not questioned, instead of accepting them as something in the face of which we can only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt. should we only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt? to what purpose?
Believe Fall Guilt
Beware of anyone who calls you bad names merely for asking honest questions. beware of anyone who insists on reframing your sincere curiosity as a character defect. beware of anyone who questions your motives while ignoring your facts. when someone calls you bad names merely for asking questions, it suggests they know the answer but are terrified to admit it.

Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems. one stands up for nothing more than the normal running of the industry. philosophy interprets its corruption as the resurrection of metaphysics.
