			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading <em><a  title="Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" href="http://www.amazon.com/Zen-Art-Motorcycle-Maintenance-Inquiry/dp/0688002307/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0">Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</a></em> 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:</p>
<blockquote><p>“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 <em>know</em> 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.”</p></blockquote>
