Something to Believe In

I asked my friend, the poet Derek J. Rhodes what, if anything, he believed in. He said:

"I guess I only believe in one thing--people are more important than ideas, without exception. Individuals are more important than beliefs, causes, ideals, concepts, even God." He smiled before the last bit. "If there's a hell, it will be filled with ideas and regrettable circumstances. No, we haven't done anything unforgiveable."
