Well,

I was not raised in a religious family. But, I ws taught the difference betweeen right and wrong. A Christian would say that I am not saved until I accept Jesus, and that may be so...

But, when I a bit younger, I was told to read a book, and I read it. Can't remember the name, but I remember the message.

It explained that we are here on Earth to learn lessons. If we learn them, we will move on to a higher exsistence. If not, we must come back again until we do. To me, that made sense. Why else would all of this crap we go through in life occur? Tradgedies like the loss of a child, a parent or a friend. The choices we as humans face everyday to do the right thing or the wrong thing....

It may not be the absolute answer in this universe, but it give me a bit of perspective for why things happen and what i can learn from it. I think about some of the things that have happended in my life and to my friends and family and it makes a bit of sense for me.
