In one of my dining hall conversations, I learned to appreciate the importance of microbes in our lives. We often fail to realize that we owe our existence and health to these microorganisms. Rather than viewing them solely as threats, it’s crucial to understand that they play a vital role in every living system. This perspective shift helped me embrace the concept of coexistence with microbes, fostering a newfound respect and gratitude for the unseen world around us.
As I questioned my upbringing and belief system, I discovered that faith isn’t just about strict adherence to religious principles. It’s about finding solace and comfort in something, even if it’s not provable. For many, religion provides that safety net, allowing individuals to explore uncertainties of life while still holding onto hope and community. This realization has enriched my understanding and appreciation of diverse belief systems around me at Harvard.
