Ideology vs pragmatism

Zien is geloven

Woorden zijn zelden genoeg om erin te geloven. Al te vaak zijn die woorden eigenlijk betekenisloos door een gebrek aan daaropvolgende daden. Mogelijk is dat de achtergrond van de uitspraak: zien is geloven. Intenties zijn echter zelden zichtbaar. Vandaar - waarschijnlijk - de variant op bovenstaande spreuk: voelen is geloven.
