JE10 Church, Anyone?

            I witness religious services for lots of times since I was little. The colors of setting are usually yellow, orange, red, brown, and white. They make the place looks warm and create a feeling of hope and peace. There’s always a smell of incense inside. Most people wear the uniform and line up in order. When the ceremony began, everyone began to chant resonantly with few instruments being played. The form of ceremony is quite similar from the Puritan’s that people listen to sermon. However, the Puritans probably don't chant. The similar structures among different religions are that people line up in seats and doing something hopeful together. They may be praying, chanting, or listening to sermons. In addition, there is always a person who sits in the middle, representing the wisdom of the religion. I actually felt boring during the ceremony. Every Chinese New Year, I was forced to join such ceremonies. My parents told we were praying for the following year to be safe and sound. However, it doesn't mean much to me because I have to wake up very early at the beginning of the year. If I go to such services regularly, I would feel very annoying and fribbling. It probably would mean something to me when I am older. But now, I only want to enjoy my life with fun and relaxing activities.
