RE: Why Western Society Needs Eastern Philosophy
I fully agree. I try and remain self aware and open-minded. Some of friends preach and some are Atheists. But what keeps my beliefs going isn't the magical sounding text. During a near car crash I had the cliche' "my life flashed before my eyes" moment. Each scene of my life had an associated feeling of pride or conviction/guilt. The odd part is, in the next instant I noticed the scenes were skewed to my left and was also being viewed by a huge figure standing behind me. Any-who, I'm a very logical person and can explain it away but that wouldn't feel right. If I never heard of organized religion and was raised in a cave, I'd still acknowledge that someone or something I must answer to after death. I'm glad steemit facilitates such discussions as I'm tired of Zuckerberg at FB having all my thoughts. Haha
