tfurrows recently posted about this melancholy season we appear to | |
be going through right now [0]. | |
Since I posted about it, I heard from three more people about | |
feeling the same. Something terrible also happened to a friend of | |
mine - I can't discuss more about it, but it really shook me up an | |
I'm still in a bit of shock and denial. | |
I'm not sure about the cause. I grew up in a very religious family | |
and as a consequence I developed an antipathy towards religion and | |
spiritual subjects - so if you asked me five years ago I would | |
reject any claim about this having a religious aspect. Now, I am n | |
so sure. While I am still very skeptical of all supernatural claim | |
I'm not so sure about other philosophical aspects of religion and | |
spiritual belief. | |
I also think "post-truth" is somehow responsible for this. I haven | |
formulated a clear thought about this, but I can't help but ask ho | |
it influences people and their moods. | |
