Fair comment, but....
You will be subconsciously aware of those ideals set out by the particular philosophical thinking, which could taint your own discovery of the path.

"There are many paths to the top of the mountain"

If you apply someone elses ideals, then you are only treading the path that has already been trodden upon - thus, your journey of discovery has already been channeled.
People seem to need to cling to this idea of sentinence, but it is a human trait.
To think that we are something other than what we appear to be, and that we can gain immortality by subscribing to the rules and dictates of someone else's ideals.
What about here?
What about now?

People spend too much time wondering about a future that is neither proven or documented, whilst the issues of 'here' and 'now' go unaddressed.
Their quest for appeasing an unseen entity borders on the horrific - and those that do not subscribe are seen as parasites and must be crushed.

What right has anyone to declare their way as the right way?
Is Christianity the right way?
Is Islam the right way?
Taoism?

Each of those 'philosophies', sees the other as the wrong way to live.
And each of those philosophies would gladly cleanse the world of those opposing mindsets.

Maybe, they are all wrong

Maybe, we should remember that we are just an animal, just like all the others on this planet. But the only thing that sets us apart from the other animals living here, is that we have been given the gift of intelligence on an unprecedented scale.

And every day, we abuse that gift towards our own greed and selfishness.

And every day, the planet, and those other animals, suffer our ignorance at the highest price.
RESiNATE Reviewed by RESiNATE on . The Chicken Killers!!! Man, that is the LAST time I ever do THAT job :( I had to drive a lorry to a chicken farm last night, and collect some chickens for slaughter. Geez, what an eye-opener. There were these sheds (about 20meters x 80meters), and the floors were covered with live chickens - like a carpet! There were 5 sheds. They are kept in these sheds from hatching to about 40days old. Their light is artificial and set to timers. In other words, the only true daylight that they see, is in the back of the Rating: 5
