Why write this? Well, if other people experience thence freely to part their convictions, I mean value I also involve to part my convictions.
Problems I conduct keep alongside organised self-delusional groups:
a) at that spot is something inherently incorrect or misdeeds you lot or your forefathers conduct keep done, thence nigh upwards in addition to brand the best of it;
b) all these units of charm offensive promises you lot something inwards return.
Original Sin/Previous Lives - Imagine you lot conduct keep a five twelvemonth former youngster going to kindergarten for the source day. He sat down, the instructor comes over in addition to gave him i tight slap. He cries why ... the instructor said "oh, its something your forefathers did or you lot did inwards your previous life". What variety of logic? Well, inwards every organised charm offensive, at that spot has to hold upwards something that you lot tin give notice never question, something you lot are "guilty of" in addition to at that spot is nada you lot tin give notice fence or inquiry its logic. It is alone past times getting you lot to hold upwards "you mightiness non know it but you lot conduct keep already done something wrong" means that they tin give notice continue to demonstrate how they tin give notice "bail" you lot out.
The Uncertain in addition to Unknown Afterlife - Most are merely buying insurance or merely doing things because they conduct keep been culturally inclined to. Just inwards example at that spot is actually a purgatory or sky or hell, or actually roughly other life. We involve to hedge our bets against the unknown. IF at that spot is a "plan", you lot are here... thence merely alive your life HERE in addition to NOW well. Any variety of afterlife excogitation that looks similar a wellness insurance house is bollocks: oh well, you lot didn't tick these boxes. Live your electrical flow life good in addition to alongside joy, whatever happens (or nada happens) after, volition sort themselves out.
In Christianity its because God thence loved you, in addition to instantly that you lot conduct keep been saved, you lot should hold upwards similar Christ, hold upwards good, hold upwards nice.
In Buddhism, nosotros are all merely passing through, its cycles, nosotros involve to improve the acquaint life thence that our hereafter life cycles higher on the route to nirvana. Karma is a bitch too, what you lot pose inwards you lot plow... perhaps non this life but eventually.Every unmarried organised charm offensive is selfish inwards nature. You create something inwards lodge to learn something inwards return. You create charity, social work, convey kind, fifty-fifty beingness a improve mortal mostly ... because of something you lot are getting.
Better life cycles to nirvana, isn't that merely selfish every bit well... it is me me me, improve for me.
My occupation alongside the higher upwards ii postulations is why can't nosotros hold upwards expert for GOODNESS SAKE!!!??? Why create nosotros involve this carrot beingness dangled inwards front end of us, what are we, PETS!!???
I am non an atheist, in addition to I create believe at that spot is a God (power/force) in addition to its all real squeamish the honey matter but let's learn out it at that. Do non extrapolate that into my character. I am nevertheless me.
If I create expert its because expert is actually good, it brings out the best inwards humans. It is the correct matter to do, AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING IN RETURN - you don't involve presents, expert luck, eternal life, expert karma ... those are roughly other shit.
We conduct keep a mind, a feel of morality ... you lot may inquire where create these come upwards from ... fifty-fifty if they are God given, merely tell give cheers you lot ... but you lot create non involve to create expert because of that. You every bit a expert parent, you lot accept help of your kids because it is the correct matter to do, because of the honey you lot conduct keep inwards your pump for the kid... in addition to virtually volition non fifty-fifty want anything inwards return, virtually volition non want the youngster to worship them, virtually volition non involve the youngster to repay them... in addition to thence it is. Do expert because the other side is evil/grey.
Yes, I create experience expert when I create good, thence is that something for something, who cares... don't create it for presents or promises or to alter your luck because those volition alone expose how shallow your grapheme is, in addition to inwards the end, your goodness is tainted in addition to watered down.
Will you lot nevertheless create expert if at that spot were NO CARROTS!!?? If you lot response yes, thats the best response in addition to the alone response you lot involve to hear. Good hearts can't hold upwards bought. You tin give notice raise it but don't bribe me.
WE ARE NOT PETS... don't dangle carrots/bones inwards front end of us!!!
