I was thinking a lot yesterday about religion. Is there a God? I used to think so. That is I was raised to think so. But, when my Mom got sick when I was 14 I used to scream, cry, and beg God to make things right again. Then she appeared to be getting better...and then it happened all over again. And again I screamed and begged for his divine intervention. It never came. Over time I grew very distant from the concept of God and still to this day consider myself agnostic. Yesterday, however, I was thinking a lot about life after death..what exactly it is we're made of. Are we more than what scientific data has recorded? I mean what differences us from any other animal or organism? I'm not talking intelligence or ability. Then it hit me. Is it love? And then I decided that this was not exactly a human phenomenon. Animals love. I mean look at these two:
So perhaps there is something unaccounted for...something spiritual? Love isn't necessary to our survival. It just is. And why is it?
Something to think about! Feel free to englighten me.
