Systems

Ever since I started teaching college students I have faced a steady stream of earnest young people (who remind me of myself) seeking some kind of spiritual reality in their lives. They have rejected the religion of their family, but they want to find something else. But they can't. Even agnosticism doesn't seem to work. Lately, as I listen to these seeking students, it seems to me they are looking for a system. They find things in every religion that they like, but they also find things they can't accept. Could it be that there is no system?
