"For the first time, I felt a revolt rise up in me. Why should I bless His name? The Eternal, Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, was silent. What had I to thank Him for?
This is what Elie Weisel is thinking to himself right before he is supposed to be killed in the crematories. I myself have doubted, and I believe that everybody has done so too doubted if God really exists. Because if he did, we wouldn't suffer as much as we sometimes do, the pain, the fear. It is part of the human being to be curious, and when things don't go your way it is completely normal to doubt if this is really happening. But like the older men in the book said: "You must never lose faith, even when the sword hangs over your head." And so we must not lose faith in God, but more importantly, I believe that we must never lose faith in ourselves.
