So much of our modern lives is rooted in taking that grand leap of faith - something I face every time I get on a plane:
"So much of our daily life is based on faith. Not necessarily Faith, with a capital F, but standard, garden variety belief that it will work out. Maybe it's religious faith, might be superstitious faith, could possibly be scientific faith. It's there, though, that understood, unshaken belief that it is what it is, it will work out, there's no explanation other than that core feeling, the gut instinct."
