I relate to that so well :D night heat, lights off, no internet, no laptop- book is where I go. I don't think I can read this post with my thoughts being divided here and there. I am bookmarking this for now.

I am intrigued with the idea of symbolism especially when it's applied in religion. As a background, I think symbol is more than an object but also the action that we do.

Worshipping a symbol is a dangerous practice, can lead you to take evil paths in the name of conduct that is followed blindly without analysis or question.

I think history has shown us the impact of symbolism and a blind believes often lead to tragedy.
