I'm sorry you lost both your parents in a short period. That is hard.

Presenting a religious message like this is off-topic on HN, though, and bound to get people's backs up.

It is relevant to the original post. I know it was risky to share, but being able to make sense of life and death is something we will all face.

I used to be a nihilist. I kept asking the same two-word question: then what? Take every hope and dream you have right now, and ask yourself "once I achieve this, then what?"

I have the answers I was seeking, and it actually isn't religion. It is relationship. Religion is actually just "to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

Besides, I'm used to getting people's backs up. Vim is the greatest text editor ever :)
