Every time we sail through a green light  . . . we take it on trust that the driver at the corresponding red light won’t cruise right through.

Every time we complete an online application and click SUBMIT  . .  . we take it on trust that our submission will reach the destination we’ve intended.

And every time we scan our checking account balance online . . . we take in on trust that “the computer” is calculating correctly.

Each of these instances that now seem like second nature didn’t always seem so. It took multiple leaps of faith before we–or those before us–took it on faith that our actions would work as intended.

The amazing thing is how often they do.
