--- Life of Pi, Yann Martel 

I think that this is another reason to believe in the existence of God. 

Religion has been described sometimes as merely something that fills the 'gaps' to life and be the 'easy cop-out' that answers the hard questions like some default trump card without giving an actual answer.

But actually, if one just puts aside all the bias (both a believer's and a skeptic's), put aside all the sentiments that there is a need for a rationalistic struggle, put aside the grappling with pride, honour and faith, if we just pause for a moment and allow silence to speak to us... it would be easy to realise, that deeply within our humanity, we want a resolution. 

And does not need to be as grand as thinking of questions being answered or justice being served.

 It can be just a wish to celebrate a loved one's birthday. It can be as simple as a desire to go back to an old stall you had previously frequented.  It can be as human as knowing that you should say sorry after you did something wrong. It can be as baffling as an urge to ask how someone special is doing even though you know the short answer over words are limited in saying what you really want to know. It can be as painful as knowing that some things have to be said. 

On a side note, the past few weeks have probably been the sweetest few weeks of my life so far.
