Everything is a freaking sign.

In times of crisis, when we have (or appear to have) no control over the circumstances, we look for signs anywhere we can find them. And it’s trait that is likely older than history - we try to make sense out of chaos. For many, that means religion - you accept something on faith and believe there’s a greater plan.

I’m somewhere between an agnostic and an atheist, with a touch of free thinkerism thrown in, and in ordinary circumstances the religious stuff like that does bother me. But in a situation like this, I let it go because we all need comfort sometimes.
