The Stranger Journal #2 (World Views Tenants)

My World View

Morphism

1.Humans must give the world meaning in his/her own life - The world doesn't present special meanings to life on its own.

2.Experiences shape a person's character - Losing family members, making friends, and living, forces decisions and shapes personalities, creating learning.

3.People often do things under the delusion of self-importance - "No good deed goes unpunished" - Humans always have an ulterior motive

4.There is no predetermination in life - Anything can be changed (personal position, love, friendship, perceived destination, etc.

5.Religion clouds rational thinking - Not anti-religion, but popular beliefs in churches and religions are many times outdated, or unreasonably distorted.

6.Ultimate goal for people (still is unreachable) = bettering ones' self - Reaching Nirvana, or communion with God is not the goal in life. The goal is to reach a "Jesus morality", not "Jesus spirituality".

7.Happiness in life comes from discovering truths of ones' self - Learning what you ultimately believe is a long endeavor that brings happiness, which is why so few actually are aware of their individual belief.
