I threw up twice on Sunday and felt dizzy the entire day. My father believes it was the result of drinking orange juice on an empty stomach, while my mother thinks that I haven't had enough rest.
Logically, they are probably both right. Unfortunately, rational explanations are often mundane.
Humans are primed to recognise patterns and draw inferences, regardless of a lack of scientific evidence.
Given this instinct, I noted the precise moment of my nausea: I was in the middle of singing Christian hymns.
No, I'm not Christian. I don't really consider myself religious, although I do think that faith would be highly beneficial for my inner peace. My motive in attending the church service was a cross between curiosity and accompanying my friend.
At any rate, having already felt mildly sick when I woke up that morning, my discomfort rapidly escalated through the service.
