Hi all, just thought I'd get some things off of my chest. No better place to do so than this forum, I feel. As of late, I have lost almost all of my faith in those things which used to bring me comfort and give me some sort of meaning/purpose in this crazy thing called life. What is a life without faith and hope like? A lot of people seem to get by just fine without them. I'm not sure if I can however. Looking back now, even when my faith was at a "high", I was still quite unable to find any real or lasting solace/peace. I feel like some type of direct experience or proof is needed at this stage of my seeking. And what is wrong with that? I keep on repeating to myself that "there has to be more to life than this", but I am left wanting. I imagine this is something all types of seekers go through at some stage. Maybe this is a necessary step. Maybe that is just wishful thinking. Thank you everyone.
