RE:Only in India
by Confused Mind on Dec 27, 2007 02:40 AM

Religion is the collection of best practices and values that allow us to develop, preserve, protect, enrich our body, mind, emotions, intellect, creativity and consciousness. This is also the basic principle of the survival and growth of any civilization and it is also the basis of ancient Indian philosophy. All the Western countries realized this and they also became secular. This is pure common sense. To live we need food, water, shelter which means, agriculture, farming, housing, sanitation, electricity, water distribution. Then we have flood, earthquakes and cyclones. We need to protect from those. Hence, we make best use of education, economics, science, technology to correct and make systems better & robust. We need to maintain them as it decays. In good times, we spend time in music, art, sports and it keeps our minds and body more healthy. We pursue medicine and create insurance plans etc. Develop financial systems to priortize efforts. Religion is One. The foundations are in India.
