His idealism didn't last long in the real world. People and their ideas were complicated. One day he comes to me, folds his arms, looks down and says, "I'm accepting the fact that there's a logic to other belief systems. I used to think Christianity was the only faith with any integrity or sense to it, but I admit there's a lot of challenging questions out there for us all."
I nodded and said, "Yes, I think we're all in this struggle for answers together." There was a moment of silence, and I continued, "But that doesn't mean we need to stop believing what looks true to us. We just can't assume our perception is perfect and that nothing could possibly change our mind."
