Religion

No mythology or religion that I know of holds all the answers.

Most religions are based on truths, but they are also polluted by the philosophies and imaginations of men.

Mortality

The curse of mortality:

You spend the first portion of your life 

learning, 

growing stronger, 

more capable.

And then, through no fault of your own, 

your body begins to fail.

You regress.

Strong limbs become feeble,

keen senses grow dull,

hardy constitutions deteriorate.

Beauty withers.

Organs quit.

You remember yourself in your prime,

and wonder where that person went.

As your wisdom and experience are peaking,

your traitorous body becomes a prison.
