(9,767 posts)What I feel is the absence of any omnipotent supernatural beings when I hear about people suffering horrible atrocities all over the world. Young Children being maimed in a fire, honor killings, people getting acid thrown in their faces, religious extremists going around and hacking young girls arms off, etc.
Conversely, when i see something inspiring, i feel even more amazed when I think that these things came about with no help from some supernatural agency. When I hear about someone risking their lives running into a burning building, it amazes me that much more because they risked their own health and possibly oblivion itself just to save another. The majesty of a forrest is more amazing when you think of all that challenges each and every organism had to go through to survive.
