Response to Life of Pi

The way Mr. Kumar avowedly presents himself and his faith to others is fascinating. His way of life and the way he sees it. Such a strong way to look at reality in your imagination. "If the watch doesn't work properly, it must be fixed here and now by us." (Mr. Satish Kumar) Atheism is faith just as much as any other faith. This quote exemplifies himself and the way the world is in his eyes, yet somehow it influences other faiths. For example the respect Pi has gathered for all atheists. As long as these drive us, as long is this is how we collect ourselves, as long as our leap of faith is by ourselves and no one else! The knowledge I gather from this book has influenced the entire way I look at the world itself. Yes it's normal to have that sense that you are the only real thing, and everything around you isn't. That's because we can't see the world through anyone else's faith, truth and what They believe in. This is what makes a human so sacred. "they go as far as their legs of reason will carry them - and then they leap." (Pi) Next time an adult asks you that repetitive, arrogant question, "If everybody jumped off a cliff, would you?" As if they're above you, as if they can just change the way you look at things with just eight pathetic words! If it was my faith, sure I would and so I present my look at reality ever so elegantly - "Yeah, but you go first." (Ryan Harris)
