Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk

Modern Religious Experience: Reflection #5: Bongwonsa Temple and Nature Walk: "After visiting the Zen Buddhist Temple, Bongwonsa and attempting to see nature as a Taoist, answer this question: What is it about creation,..."

I believe that people seek religion because they have unanswered questions, and they want to find out more about themselves. Nature prompts humans to seek for religion because, since we cannot look into the past, and see what happened. Us human's try to find something that was existing from a while ago. Nature, has been on Earth much longer than humans. By looking at nature, new questions arouse and we want to know more about them. However, since we cannot we seek for religion to understand these questions.
Many people spend their whole lives to seek religion. we do this because, as I have said before, we want to know more about ourselves, and answer the questions that we cannot answer by ourselves. For example, questions like, "What happens when we die?" cannot be answered by looking it up on the internet. We need another source to find out, which is religion. Also, if we believe in After Life, then we need to seek more about the religion to find out more about our before lives, and our after lives. Therefore, humans seek out religion to answer unanswered questions and to know who we truly are.
