Ultimately, when you're hit to your lowest, you will find yourself wanting to have an open-mind and also some form of faith. I was talking to a friend about this and I consider him to be really intelligent, and also nice. He too suggests that simply put, we don't have all the answers.

I am willing to admit that I have to chug science aside sometimes in order to protect the human side of me.

A crude example: I don't believe in ghosts, but don't expect me to sleep in a supposedly haunted house for a night on a dare or whatever.
