And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief Picture Quote #1

And if you were a spirit, and time did not bind you, and patience and love were all you knew, then there you would wait for someone to return, and the story to unfold Picture Quote #1

It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence Picture Quote #1
