Topic > Beyond Religion: Finding Our Inner Self - 2501

The central purpose of Beyond Religion is to place emphasis on an individual's inner qualities and values ​​rather than devoting too much effort to the external or material aspects of life. Humanity has endured many challenges since the beginning of time, yet continues to face many problems. Despite our advances in medical science, technology, education, healthcare, human rights, laws, etc., we continue to suffer, struggle and encounter many crises around the world. Many parts of the world are still affected by poverty, crime, injustice, inequality, corruption, social and environmental problems. The book claims that these problems are the result of neglect of our inner qualities and moral values ​​based not only on religious beliefs but on the qualities we appreciate in others. If every individual would take a moment and focus on developing their own inner qualities and moral values ​​such as integrity, compassion, generosity, forgiveness, tolerance, honesty, patience, kindness and so on, then the world we live in would become a better world. place. The central idea presented in the first chapter is about understanding the ethics of secularism and promoting virtue ethics. This idea does not suggest that religion is useless but rather intends to respect and create a middle ground between all religions and between those who practice no religion. Furthermore, it does not promote the exclusion of religion from ethical systems, but rather promotes the integration of both. However, the book implies that human beings can cope without religion but not without internal values. In our globalized and diverse world, people from all walks of life with different views, cultures, backgrounds and religions live in close proximity to each other. It is vital to honor and respect... at the heart of the card... its people. In contrast, the benefit I see in secular ethics is that it first helps us realize that we all have in common with each other. . We all desire and seek genuine happiness and avoid suffering. He does not take sides or prefer any religion, but teaching involves everything. It gives us a better understanding of being compassionate for the well-being of others. It trains us to become resilient from within and gives us a better understanding of how to deal with destructive emotions. It teaches us to be content with what we have and not to become slaves to the material and external world. It also provided insights into developing our mental stability and inner values. This will not guarantee to solve all the world's problems, but it will certainly make a difference one step at a time. Most of all it can help guide you to be a better and peaceful person.
