Religion is sought for many different reasons. For some, religion is an answer to all the questions left unexplained by science. It can be used as an acceptable explanation for why things happen the way they do. When something bad occurs, this can be justified in some ways through religion. For example, Hinduism believes in karma - the idea that what goes around comes around. If something bad happens to you, it is only making up for the wrong that you have done in your life. Sometimes people just want an answer to the baffling questions in life and those answers can be provided by religion, whether it be faith in a higher being or just belief in letting things play out the "natural way", a Taoist concept. It's this desire to understand which may prompt humans to dedicate their lives to seek religious truth.
On the nature walk I realized how rare it is for me to be outdoors simply for the sake of appreciating nature. I believe that it is the beauty of the world, the wonder of how everything on this planet came to be, that lead me to seek religion. In my eyes, there are far too many miracles that occur and amazing creations of life for all of this to have happened on its own.
