RELIGION

                                                                         RELIGION

Religion remains a powerful and important force in public life. Most of the religions share the basic framework of helping others, being kind to each other, and striving to become better human beings by doing the morally right things. Religion brings us together and helps us form a community. It gives us purpose and shows the right path to people who are morally lost in life, it provides existential meaning and hope. Through stories, religion teaches us to practice feelings of empathy and compassion for others. No one knows for sure whether these stories are true or not or to what extent they are true, but that is not important. The important thing in these stories is the moral, the teachings, the message that they give to the people. The people in the stories aren’t important, rather what they do and teach us to do is of most importance. The Buddha said: ‘All life is suffering.’, And that’s true , we all suffer in some form or another. Some people suffer more, some suffer less, some suffer for longer period of time, and some suffer for a less period of time, but we all suffer in life. And that’s a part of life. Life without any suffering is meaningless. Religious teachings help us become strong enough to endure the suffering and to persevere and never give up.

 For most people in the world faced with suffering and the perennial uncertainties of life, religion can bring comfort, understanding and identity.  In 2000, when the World Bank spoke to women and men from 60 countries about what really mattered to them, they said living in ‘harmony’ with the transcendent mattered to them. Some people said that time for prayer was as essential to their welfare as a full stomach and bed to sleep on. For some, a meaningful life might even be the most basic human need. The moral base of a society also often finds its origin in religion. While development has brought valued material progress for some, people also disapprove the loss of traditions, often rooted in religion. Religion remains an aspect of identity rather than the source of identity.  Freedom is not only about having money or the capacity to act; rather, it resides in the ability to do and be good. Life comes with a responsibility to serve and act in the interest of the common good and religion teaches and inspires us to recognise our ability to do and be good and helping others to achieve a full life furthers one’s own humanity.

In our modern world many people are becoming atheists. Many people say that if nobody can prove the existence of God then God doesn’t exist. They don’t believe in any religion or religious teachings. To be honest neither I nor anybody can prove the existence of God today, but religion is much more than just about the existence of God, it’s about the lessons, the teachings, the moral, and the good things that we learn from all the stories in religious teachings.
