"Religions get lost as people do"

- Franz Kafka

About this Quote

In this quote, Franz Kafka is recommending that religions are not unsusceptible to the same fate as individuals. Just as individuals can become lost and lose their way in life, faiths can likewise end up being lost and lose their real function and significance. This could be due to numerous factors such as changes in society, misinterpretation of teachings, or the impact of external forces. Kafka's words work as a tip that religious beliefs, like individuals, are continuously evolving and can easily end up being misdirected. It is a call to assess the true essence of one's faith and to make sure that it does not become lost in the mayhem of the world.
