I don't think it's about convincing yourself of anything. A leap of faith doesn't work that way, you can't just say "I believe" and delude yourself into that belief. It requires actually having faith, which is experiential.
- haswell 4y agoA leap of faith and blind faith are not the same thing at all. A leap of faith is evidence of self-belief, and is hopefully founded on some reasonable basis. A leap of faith takes something you know, and makes a bet based on it. Blind faith is based on nothing other than a wish, and persists even when presented with hard evidence that disagrees.
