“Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction--faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.”
— Jeff Bezos

Simplified Meaning:
Having faith means believing in something, but it’s important to base that belief on real, true things, not made-up stories. If you trust in things that aren't true, your hope can lead you down a wrong path. For example, imagine someone tells you there's treasure buried in your backyard, but there's no real proof or evidence of it. If you believe them without checking the facts, you might waste a lot of time and energy digging without finding anything. Similarly, in life, making important decisions based on false information can lead to disappointment or harm. To live wisely, it's better to trust things that can be proven true, ensuring that your hopes and beliefs are grounded in reality.
