I've believed for a while now that within other people is the best place to
find god, but that doesn't mean you can't see it anywhere else.

i think that it is somewhat important to "submit" to this kind of spiritual
belief if one wants to try and truly grasp a book like "fanny and zooey."
i had a friend- super intellectual- who used to be a full-blown bible
reading christian. then her senior year of high school she chucked it all
out the door and now believes only in scientific explinations of the
universe. she read "franny and zooey" and despite her superior intellect,
it went right over her head. she was dumbfounded, she couldnt grasp the
thing at all.
i on the other hand am a foolish believer in a god and whatnot. i'm not
saying that i entirely grasped FZ either; after all, it is a pretty hard
book to grasp. but i think the fact that i had such a view of the universe
that was different from her allowed me to understand it more.
if you cant find god in other people, you wont find god anywhere.
