MY CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY - 3RD PART
However, things did not improve at all, not even when I was hired as a teacher following the victory of a state competition. Not even the permanent teaching job, so coveted in my country, where work is often just a mirage, was able to fill that emptiness inside me and take away that sense of frustration in my heart. Nothing seemed to ease my suffering. So I fell into a very deep depression and, despite being a convinced atheist and always polemical against the religious, I began to ask myself new questions, which had never crossed my mind before; I began to wonder what had become of me if I had died at that moment. I didn't have the answer.
It was at that time, back in 1999, that driven by the desire to find an answer to my question about the existence of the afterlife, I began to read various religious texts of ancient civilizations and of Eastern and Middle Eastern religions. But nothing to do. I didn't find the answer.
