“Emptiness is Form. Form is Emptiness."
‘Religion is meaningless, as mankind exploits religion to fulfill their insatiable Earthly desires’
I believe that the importance of religion is not necessarily based on the depth or sincerity of an individual’s faith, but rather on his or her ability to find God in his or her daily life and actually practice his or her religious teachings in real life. In other words, a modern person’s struggles in the name of God, such as obtaining materials and social status, are comparable to his or her existentialistic values.
Religion is holy. Religion teaches its followers to transcend beyond worldly values and physical needs and obtain absolute purity. In order for people to practice religion, they need faith. Those who practice religion claim that they are pursuing spiritual and mental peace. However, just how many of those religious adherents praying in temples, churches, cathedral, and mosques have truly found or even seeking that complete state of bliss? Despite people’s best attempts to package the purpose behind their religious acts, their faith is largely revolves around their individualistic desires, needs and benefits.
It is easy to find people in religious grounds praying not to strengthen their faith, but to do well in their exams, be promoted, get respect from other people, or earn more money. In essence, people are praying not because of their faith and bond with their God, but because of their worldly desires.
Despite this obvious contradiction, people still believe that they follow religion purely based on their faith. However, if those same people just take a moment to truly examine themselves and this irony, they will easily reach a common conclusion that the purpose of religion is no different than mankind’s intrinsic, endless pursuit towards materialistic gains.
Despite the obvious irony, people believe that they practice religion based on pure faith. However, if people take step back from this irony and re-examine the true nature of religion, they will merely see a reflection of their own worldly desires and needs.
