In the dedication of her book \u201cSpook\u201d Mary Roach writes, \u201cTo my parents, wherever they are, or aren\u2019t.\u201d An interviewer asked her, are you willing to say they are somewhere, or they aren\u2019t? She answered, \u201cIf I had to put my money on it, and I had to decide one way or the other, I would put my money on, they aren\u2019t anywhere. But that\u2019s really depressing. My mother believed. My mother absolutely had faith that when she died that she was going to heaven. And even if she\u2019s wrong, she doesn\u2019t know she\u2019s wrong. So, she went through her whole life with a calmness and a peace of mind that I\u2019ll never have. The people who believe, win. The skeptics lose.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
