I am a non religious person; it doesn't make me any worst than those people who claimed to love GOD or whatsoever. I have my own theories regarding life and whatever happened in this world. I conclude them out of live experiences; although I am only 24 years old, but it's already half way through what life is. (I believe after the age of 50 all live become no-live; we start to make other suffer by worrying about us and unable to do some of the things on our own might).
Couple of my understandings are related to Buddhism (put away the fact that I am raised as one). It is not that I disagree with other religions. Buddhism teaching is not related to any attachment into this world; it is about a way of life; about doing good things in order to pay those bad things we did in the past life. It even seldom mentions GOD in its teachings because we simply cannot blame everything to GOD, it is human who do the did but hide themselves under the shade of GOD. GOD is like an imaginary excuse where we thanked, blamed, praised anything into IT. I believe all religions are up to goodness, it is just the matter of the daily applications and how people taking religions for granted and often hide behind its shade what disgust me.
This is my LITTLE DICTIONARY about LIFE:
LIFE: life is suffering; the reason why we are living now is because we still have debts in the past that haven't been paid off. I believe in reincarnation and doesn't matter what we are born as, as long as we are still in the chain of life, we still are suffering from our past mistakes.
LOVE: love is non-existance. Love only happened when we have no expectation toward someone. What existing is just affections and longings. When we utter the word love, it means forever and no-conditioned. Even some of the relationship between parents and children cannot be categorized as love, because there is expectation from one to provide the others, let alone love between man and woman.
RELIGION: religion is just a camp for those refugees who are waiting to get rescued. This camps are divided and not together because it is not enough to contain everyone. Many people believe in a religion because they suppose to believe in it. Some of the main reasons are: because their parents are one, because it is the fashion religion at the moment, because there is business opportunity and chance to know people in a religion meetings, to seek peace in mind, etc. Nothing that is pure coming out from one religion believer. Some people are becoming head of a religion to get personal benefits. It is not that its sinful for a person who is very good at uttering speeches to be paid well, but some of these religions force their believer to put on certain amount of their savings into their accounts. Why do people still addicted to religion? We even makes more and more religions by days. It's almost like a business opportunities to open a new religion. There are certain basic question in life that answers only offered in the teaching of religions. Such as: what we are? what is the purpose of life? what is death? where will we go after we are dead? etc.
MARRIED: the meaning of being married is that you have found a partnership which is good enough for you to fill in your positive and negative points in life. Nothing about marriage is LOVE based. Since Love itself is non-existance. People are often mistaken the meaning of love and partnership. When one like somebody else and enjoys its company and is ready to show what is good and what is bad in them and still accepts those good and bad without regret, then these people are ready to be married.
OLD AGE: I hate this word because for some strange reason I believe we must life only until the age of 50. Above this age, it means we are a bother to everyone else.
HAPPINESS: something that cannot be bought with money. Not all rich people are happy and not all poor people are not happy. But the ultimate happiness is when you have no other expectation in life than what you already have. Being contended and accepts all goodness and badness about yourselves and your surroundings.
