Religion

 As I grew up religion played a major role. We used to attend church every Sunday. As a kid I used to attend Sunday school. Even when we moved from Saidapet to Meenambakkam we continued that. There were so many tough depressing times I had to go through and religion helped me to get through by providing hope that GOD can get me through any situations. What would have happened if I had grown up without religion? Maybe something else would have played the supporting role but in current state it was religion. I hope you can relate that by religion I mean GOD. 

As I grew lot of questions started troubling me. Some of them are what is the purpose of life? What is the role of GOD in it? What is time? How did we come here? What happens after death?. Its an endless list of question.

Religion does not provide answer for all the questions or we can say does not provide convincing answers. After a point we just have to go with faith.

Rajinikanth once told that religion is like a footwear which protects our feet in the most difficult road called life. You can also walk with footwear but with religion you can do it with lesser pain.

When we remove GOD from the equation there remains only fear and panic. When we realise there is nothing to this life and we are here because of an accident it is more morbid.

But as we age belief of religion comes down but I guess we near old age the belief on religion will come back.
