 “What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words, by God himself.”
-Blaise Pascal 

In later years I’ve more and more come to the realisation that this is true. I’m very surprised that this happened to me because I’ve been an atheist all my life, but am no longer.🤷
