My Random Thoughts ......
Philosophy of life is all about understanding life for increasing happiness and reducing sorrow.
The ultimate objective of life is to gain happiness and peace of mind and avoidance of sorrow and pain. Happiness is the end value or the ultimate aim of every human being.
Ethics, morals and values are part of philosophy. Philosophy enables you to interpret the principles of human life, analyses the reasons for mysteries and contradictions and suggests the best way to go threw life for perpetual happiness, and reducing sorrow.
The values for guidance in the journey of life are embedded in the rules or the laws of the land, the religious scriptures, the rituals, and dictates of great men.
When you are born your awareness of the world is more or less zero. Gradually you understand the world by building awareness bit by bit. The time and space dimensions are understood. The learning processes are an integral part of life. The individual changes with time. In the beginning there is confusion and chaos and gradually perceptions become meaningful.
People are the same everywhere; the difference is in their way of thinking. People differ in many ways: no two individuals are the same. Based on the differences, groups are formed. The families, communities, religious groups and nationalities are some of the groups. The members of the same or similar collectives have certain common or shared characteristics based on their beliefs. Beliefs guide behavior and precipitate as values carried over generations and reflected in the rituals, practices and habits. Based on these differences cultures are formed. Acceptable behavior taboos and prejudices come into being.
