you figure it out

It's only after you've lost your faith that you realize you never needed it to survive in the first place. Most people want to trust others. They can't even trust themselves. And I sure as hell can't trust them. So take your faith, take your fidelity, take your honesty, take your loyalty, take your righteousness. All raped. All robbed of their meaning. All stolen from our innocence. All present only on the side of a milk carton. Occasionally showing up in your mailbox with a computer-generated image of how they all might look today. A prediction. An educated guess. A generic fortune crumpled up and stuffed into an after-dinner snack.
