Looking for the righteous path
Hello everyone,
This topic is focused on the righteous path of our real life, please make no abuse toward any kind of religion, community, group of people, policy, country, city, small village..... or any abuse of any kind, if you have, think you have any knowledge base, idea, or anything that could be related to or contribute with finding the righteous path, please write it down here,
All your opinions are welcomed, will be taken into consideration and will be appreciated as long as they are clean and with no abuses of any kind,
With many thanks in advance
For staying on the righteous path , all you need to do in life is just not being asshole.
The only truly "righteous" thing you can do in your life is mind your own business and let other people live how they want to live, as long as they're not imposing their shit on you. Of course, for most, righteousness equals conforming to some specific dogma or belief and making sure other people do, as well. Locking yourself in a mindset regulated with a set of rules other than "don't be an asshole" is the dumbest and most dangerous thing a person can do to themselves.
Its hard to speak about righteous in here cause we come from very different cultures and we have different set of models.
The growing way we all know it:
1) childhood
2) school + girl friend
3) work + wife
4) work + wife + kids
5) the end
This is what most of ppl on earth are doing.
What means righteous way?
In a way, is like asking what is the best quantity to put much sugar
in the coffee ? Some like a bit some like a lot some like without sugar, some even put salt in it. But what is the best quantity? there must be a best quantity. The answer is: yes there is but for you and you only. Getting some nutrition tests and a person will be able to tell you in an approximate way the minimum and maximum quantity of sugar you can put in your coffee. That's the farthest you can get.
I believe is the same with the righteous way the only sad part is that we don't know how to analyze our path to know how is righteous future way. But there must be a best way.
The most advantageous way in living your life is not easy to know not even on a large scale. Maybe if we would have some rainbow statistics we would be able to know ~1% of how is better to live your life.
We sometimes can read news like "British researchers found that the longer guys play video games, the higher their levels of concentration" (from here) So we should all start playing video games?
We learn from others experiences yes but we are local centered, we cannot learn from the ppl from the other part of the globe. And we all start from when we are born. If our parents are wealthy, healthy, if we have sisters, brothers, friends when we grow up, when we meet new ppl, when we fight, win or struggle with something, each of these small factors will have great impact on our path, on our development. Knowing what to do next is a challenge, a risk and is life. If in the future we will be able to know exactly the best thing to do next, it will be boring, like living in a cage of rules. Having everything but doing only the same thing because that's what our "best path" is telling us to do. So you're doing what the "best path" is telling you to do?
That's deep!
Conclusion: The Best and righteous way is to not know the path.
Having Guidelines is ok. Having Rules cage is a no, no.

But is that not worth to do so if in the saint book is written that God will give u some nasty virgins and the heaven is so awesome place?
How u can say that and let all that not faithful ppl go to hell for for endless sufferings, risking also not going heaven for that u are selfish cold bastard and don't even want to help humans go the right path...
Fala, it's never was about "good person -> heaven, bad person -> hell" [as you trying to say, I assume). Even the biggest criminalist, the biggest enemy of humans, the worst bad-ass that you can even imagine, man who was the biggest enemy of religion, he burned churches, raped childrens... Even he can be in heaven. It is about if at the end you will regret for your sins you've commited, if you forgive yourself everything and also if you forgive everything for every human, no matter what they did.
There's also a Bible tale about super-good human and one bad man. At the end the good one went to hell because he was thinking he was better human than the bad one.
All I said above really is The Final Judgement [eh, I don't really know how to translate it to English, it's "Day of Doom" or one I can be sure, in German it's "Jüngste Gericht"). Modern religion scientists gives a new look on it. It's not like after death you go somewhere, staying in line with other souls to be judged, finally you see God and he judges you. Nope, really it's your own about yourself. I mean there's no like 100% probability of anything we know, but that's one of the most likely happens. At the end you see yourself, all the things you did, bad and good ones, seeing just everything you did. Then you decide if you were good human being or not, and if so, how much you regret it.
Did I just went on religion? Damn, I already can feel your cold breath while you've read this post
Anyway, what's the most righteous path? There's none like them. There's only a righteous path for yourself. You've got to find it on your own. Nobody can tell you what shall you do. I used to be an asshole, I grow and when I understood what's going on I decided to change myself. Worked. Feelin' better than never before. Just be a good man "make good not evil" and... catch a vibe : )
_= edit: Holy Sheep, GMZ! o.O I just finnished the old one and there's a new one already, heh.
There is nothing more boring (or dangerous I would posit) than religious zealots trying to convert us heretics. Also you will find that ideas about the golden mean date back to Aristotle in Europe, and much longer back in the rest of the world.
Until there is solid proof of any type of deity or "righteousness" or "heavens" or what have you, I'm not going to feel obligated to attend a church of any kind, or consider myself part of a religion. I like to enjoy every day as my last, and do things I enjoy rather than trying to find some righteous path in life. From my perspective, I don't see anything "in" religion; basically I don't see the point. Things I do understand are meeting new people and helping out a community, but everything else seems quite silly in my opinion. And as of this moment, I believe that nothing happens upon death and I'm willing to accept that given that I have a somewhat decent life to live and die for. But my knowledge and opinions come from a different perspective than most of the people on this forum, I'm just some silly 'merican.
Warning,
Listen equinox, this is an abuse to the asshole! so speak well better than getting abused yourself!!
Though too late since you abused yourself already....
Have fun at E+ and never take it with hard feelings no matter how much you lose nor how much stupid or dump or punk or bad or blithering idiot the player you are playing with really is, it's just a game and we are here to have fun and enjoy our times!!
