At the office you work at, over some time, two different colleagues buy fancy new cars. One guy comes in and announces it, offering rides to everyone, telling all about it. He's proud of it. He gets annoying.
The other guy, well it takes a couple of weeks (or not at all) for someone to notice, "I see you got a new car."
Some people are the first guy. Others are the second guy.
Great, thanks for the thoughts and we can use that thought to think in other ways, as to what is faith?
Your given analogy is that Faith is a possession, to be proud of and shown off.
I do not see it in the way you offered, as I see it is not in any way about being proud of a worldly possession and wanting to show it off. Faith can never have that foundation, as Faith is a gift, it is not a possession. I see it more like a free will obligation one has accepted with relish.
As with all analogies, they are limited, but along the line you have used, I see it more like this;
Thus it may be the boss brought a new bus knowing in a lot of different ways, that all employees had a hard time getting home and asked 2 of the employees who would volunteer to drive people home in their own time. One accepts the offer as they wish to help all and one does not as it did not pay.
Thus the volunteer can and only offers the ride and does so free of obligation. The boss has set rules given to the volunteer, only ever offer, never compel anybody to take the ride.
What may be annoying, is that all know that the offer will always be there, even if they never want to take the ride and prefer getting home in their own way.
