"May it not be that, just as we have to have faith in Him, God has to have faith in us and, considering the history of the human race so far, may it not be that "faith" is even more difficult for Him than it is for us?"
- W. H. Auden
About this Quote
In this quote, W. H. Auden proposes an unique point of view on the concept of faith. He recommends that it is not just human beings who have to have faith in God, however that perhaps God needs to have faith in us as well. This idea challenges standard concepts of God's omnipotence and infallibility, recommending that there may be a component of uncertainty or danger associated with the divine-human relationship. Moreover, Auden recommends that offered humanity's history of violence, greed, and oppression, it might be much more tough for God to keep faith in us than it is for us to have faith in Him. Eventually, this quote welcomes us to consider the complex and dynamic nature of faith, and to reflect on our own relationship with the divine.
