Thought about your reply for a few minutes... and I brought up 4 major problems that exist in our world today, race, religion, birthplace and politics.
All you could reply is church =sad... IMO, your reply =very sad.

Freedom from human life = enlightenment

?? So should most people just kill themselves to be free from human life and be enlightened?

Hehe no, that that form of freedom
one cultivate the body and mind to be free from the suffering we experience here on earth. it means being free of attachments to what we experience of both suffering and happiness, and accept life as it is. living only at the moment we experience right now

I'm sorry you feel that way. I was making light of the fact that modern churches focus on money, etc instead of wellness. So they wouldn't want to see you well. Sorry if you don't like the reply. It was just me saying "Keep doing what you're doing."

Oh. So live and be happy? I already said that.

When I brought up four major problems in the world today, race, religion, place of birth, and politics you jumped right into church. Why? Politics IMO is a lot worse than church.

Life is not just happiness or sadness, we experience both sides from moment to moment, so in my understanding, it is no need to cling to any emotions because it will pass just as quick as it arises. Living free to me means to be in the moment and understanding what lead you there, No matter if it is a happy moment or a sad moment, just be a part of it

IMO living happiness is a whole lot better than living sadness. Yes they both happen, it's called life. We should let go of sadness and live for happiness.

I agree with you on this, In my quest for answers i have of course stumbled upon both happiness and sadness, and to me the answer is to let go of the attachments to it and just see it for what it is in the moment. (i do not say that will work for everybody)
And i think in your OP you said "if you have a better plan, let's hear it. I only gave you my plan.
It might work for me, but maybe not for others.
Birth place =God's Land
Race =God's Creation
Politics =God's Follower
Religion =God's Believer

Well let's say someone's sadness is losing their child, their mother, etc. It's hard to let that go, yet they still have a life to live. IMO live it to the fullest because the one you lost would want you to.

That's a good post upon faith.
Spirit of Light

Yes
I can relate strongly to your post this time since I lost both my parents years ago. Of course, it is sadness right there and then, but to be able to look forward to the next moment. that, yes I going to be ok even losing my parents. I think that is so important. And maybe it is a bit of acceptance that they are gone, nothing we can do about it, except live our own life

You're probably right.
The thing about politics though, is that there are active groups still opposing the political problems in the world. There are folks who oppose Churchianity as a money-making opportunity, but it's not as vocal.
But if you wanted to talk more about politics, I'm sorry for bringing up church.

Not at all. Don't be sorry. I was just curious of the four major problems why you jumped right into religion.
Out of race, birth place, politics and religion, IMO I think religion ranks 3rd or 4th out of the 4.
Edit...
-race, well history speaks for that
-birth place, if you weren't born here, you don't belong here
-politics well it fuels race, birth place and religion
-religion, some just hope for something better later than the now

It sounds good. Beyond that what works for you may not work for me, and what works for me may not work for you.
