Faith, Hope, and .... "Leaks"

In matters of government and society it seems to me (as it relates to the media) that "truth" (and motive), unlike "fact", can be concluded from fact(s) and "opinion". But at the end of the day, the "truths" we each draw are solely our own, while the "facts" once discovered - live on ... and on ... and on. Wise men and women ought not to confuse the two, nor should they realistically expect them to coexist in every expressed opinion.

If asked, I can tell virtually anyone what I believe to be true, in whom (or what) I trust, and what I think I "know". But in the grand scheme of things, it is one's "faith" and "hope" that sees us through, renders our live's meaningful, and brings us some comfort ... amidst an often sea of despair.
