Where Love and Generosity and Devotion Exist
The NY newspaper article that captured hearts when an 8 year old wrote to inquire whether in fact Santa was real with the memorable retort "Yes, Virginia, etc..." is worth reading in full and readily googlable for its prosaic truth today.
In part I quote:
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Blessed are those who do not see and yet believe.
