For the Good of the Faith
The beliefs in which we are raised often form the backbone we use to support our views and arguments. Faith is a wonderful thing. The certainty that there is a benevolent higher power out in the universe watching over us all and guiding us on our best path can be powerful medicine when the world knocks us down.

Just as we all know that it's extremely difficult to force people to see that the way they choose to "handle" their problems isn't always the healthiest path.
