I wish I had gotten as far as you seem to have in such thoughts in my first year of college.
I wish my own religion of choice (UU) could be helpful to you (but that didn't sound like a 'anybody know a good religion to belong to?' type of post)
I wish we could talk more about faith (no, the Faith I usually talk about)-- the uncannily and compassionately rational kind that keeps me moving forward when all of hell is playing with my own emotions. This faith has nothing to do with religion. And while its background music may be the Rolling Stones' "You can't always get what want...", that is really a playful joke, because if I want it bad enough and it doesn't involve another person's will, then so often I will get what I want.
And I wish I could hear more about that one hour of true happiness. (My moment was not so much of happiness, but of relief, of understanding, of "OH! So THAT's how it is! Of course it is!" And god, what I would give for some more of that right now.)
