a: Finding god ~
b: searching for global optimum

What:

"Finding God is like searching for global optimum; however most people perceive God through a local optimum exposure (within a neighbouring set of solutions, i.e. family and friends). The same holds for finding a partner. Most marriages don't last because the local solution is NOT always a global solution. Please consider the local variables as initial values for your search. "
