your friendships and any club or movement that you subscribe to. In your book, faith hinges on the fact that a sharing of ideas and ideals with others leads to mutual growth and encouragement and upon your belief that it is your social values that are correctly paving the way ahead.
However, this can lead to your social group being self-righteous which acts to hide your own doubts. Such 'revolutionary blindness' can then give rise to offhandedness and associations becoming unreliable. Truly your faith rests upon being able to share with your peers both the bright and the shady sides of your nature. In this way your basically humanitarian philosophy of life gains weight and conviction for both yourself and others.
