Religion
"Humankind cannot bear very much reality."
- T. S. Eliot
Perhaps all religion exists as a means for humanity to cope with the depravity of the surrounding world. Seeking comfort or answers, people become drawn to religion. Others, however, whose eyes are open to the depravity rampant throughout various congregations, readily dismiss religion to avoid the reality of prevalent hypocrisy and judgment. Maybe we spend all our lives looking for anything to restore our innocence of mind, for we cannot bear the reality of the world around us.
