ANOMALIES

Vi prøver å berike oss selv gjennom bønn, tro og hengivenhet til noen, eller noe 'annet'. På samme måte tror vi på eksistensen av 'anomalier', som for eksempel ukjente og ukontrollerbare monster. Men kan en slik tro bringe oss fremover?

We try to enrich ourselves through prayer, faith and devotion to someone or something 'other'. Similarly, we believe in the existence of 'anomalies', such as unknowable and uncontrollable monsters. But can such beliefs advance us?
