WHAR IS MAH EVE FIGURE!?
I think this artical, as a Catholic myself, just makes me see that saints are just normal people. I think her doubts and fears just make her that much stronger of a person. Because she never gave up on her faith. She never lost faith even when she felt in the dark and alone. Just my opinnion.
its interesting to see how one person fights for its belief even when itself screams that its belive is false or uncertain that what it tries to grasp is no more real than trying to grab a dream or an illusion and so she carries a weight that cant be carry and burdens herself with reality and faith ….she simply wants an answer that science asnt gotten to dunno i wonder why humans in general wishes to find god, when they themselves unconciously strive to be a god…to control everything they see and desire…eh i guess i went over board with this…better have a slushy before i freeze =3p
In every endeavor there is always doubt, fear, regret and other emotions that counter the reason behind the endeavor. Mother Teresa was a great woman who did great deeds. Wouldn’t it be normal to expect that her extra-ordinary acts acquired those feelings at a harsher level than what can be considered normal?
The world’s latest, most modern saint was an agnostic? It makes sense. One who is intelligent cannot devote their life to god and at the same time be so philantrophic. It’s a psychological disparity. All those years of seeing pain and suffering… of having FELT pain and suffering while doing what she did… it would really make one doubt the possibility of a benevolent and omnipotent god existing.
Poor woman. I hope that she died after either making her peace with the illusions of religion, or after accepting the glory of atheism. I just hope that she died happy.
