Through years of watching the way people live their lives (for better or worse), I've come to the conclusion that there is no conclusion. We're simply here because we're here--People have a very hard time coming to grips with that. We live together, fight together, die together, creating our own destinies, and living by our own internal rules. Personally, I don't like the idea of knowing that I'm not in complete control of the world around me. There's something about having a firm grasp on the universe that gets my heart racing and stands my hair on-end. Besides, if I were to say that I believed in any religion in particular, that would mean that I've concluded that every other religion is dead wrong....and I'm not nearly pompous, arrogant, or 'almighty' enough to admit something like that.
