Reason

Blaise Pascal said:
Reason's last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it. It is merely feeble if it does not go as far as to realize that the heart has reasons of which reason knows nothing. Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride, knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God makes for despair. Knowing Jesus Christ strikes the balance because he shows us both God and our own wretchedness.
Just thought I'd let you know.
