Reading Zen and the Art of Motor­cycle Mainte­nance by Robert Pirsig, I came across this passage that reminded me of some ideas I’ve had in the past. At the very least, it gives us a refresh­ingly different view of something we may never have thought about before:

“You are never dedicated to something you have complete confi­dence in. No one is fanat­i­cally shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it is going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanat­i­cally dedicated to polit­ical or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it’s always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.”
