"Why does he still believe? And why is he different from the rest of us, even though we believe in the same things?"
"Oh, my dear boy," he breathes in slowly to prepare his reply, and he says, "those who believe in anything these days are few, and their days are numbered. Most of these few still believe in true things, even if they aren't there."
"Yes, I know that. But what makes him different?"
He lets out a breathy sigh, then replies, "He believes in true things specifically because they aren't there."
A short silence ensues.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite follow?"
He opens his mouth as to speak slowly, saying, "You see, he believes that true things exist, but they're simply not here because we are not ready to receive them. When we are, they will come."
(Do you believe in true things?)
