We have been studying "Eastern philosophies" in Humanities these past few weeks
and this past weekend was spent assessing for their
level of achievements on the most recent work.
(a.k.a. grading)
Insert unhappy ~ GROAN.
However...this was the insightful response from one of my students.
Question:
Which belief system (from those we studied) best matches your OWN beliefs?
Which belief system (from those we studied) best matches your OWN beliefs?
Explain.
"The belief system that least matches my own belief
is Buddhism.
This is because I don't agree with
"removing desire removes suffering"
for me that means to remove life.
An example from my life that show how this belief
system/religion is different to my values is that I fall in love and I still do and yes,
I might suffer but I might not.
And that is the fun of life!
You kind of gamble your heart for someone and
you might be refused or might not
and that's the risk that is fun and sad"
Ummm.
Bill?
Pretty sure that couldn't me said any better.
THANK YOU MONDAY!
