“Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth”
— Pope John Paul II

Simplified Meaning:
To understand things deeply, we need both faith and reason working together. Like a bird needs two wings to fly, our minds need belief and logical thinking to really see the whole picture. Imagine trying to understand the world only through science; it might tell you how things work but not why they matter to us personally. Similarly, faith alone might give you purpose but won't explain how things happen. For example, when solving problems in life, using logic helps you figure out steps to take, while belief gives you the hope and motivation to keep going. By balancing both, you can come closer to understanding and appreciating life fully.
