Pray! If not to God, then to a god. Admit that we are defeated, because this is the first step towards victory.

Why did God choose to reveal Himself through a sacred text? Were there no other ways? Does God still inspire scriptures today?

It seems that one of the requirements for any sustainable worldview, philosophy or faith is that it should have some account of origins. Perhaps we could think about it simply as a necessary element of a good story. It is certainly one of the recurring tropes of superhero sequels or sci-fi epics that at some point we will come to better understand a...

We realise that we had been too demanding of ourselves, of others, of the world. That even though we had everything we needed we still wanted more.
