What we are looking for is peace of mind. Peace of mind is simply the absence of mental stress or anxiety. Thinking that we must do this or that and follow “the rules” to avoid hell and get into heaven is fairly stressful. Not having an understanding of "the rules" can cause anxiety. To obtain and maintain this state of peace, it is essential that we develop techniques that foster clear and honest, critical thinking. We must each develop our own personal life-long philosophy. My personal philosophy is to be the best world citizen I can be, try to influence others to live the same way, and contribute to society in any way that I can. I must continuously improve myself and the world, as best I can. Not because I will be rewarded in the end. Not because some religion tells me that I must do so to avoid hell, but because it is the only thing that makes sense. Learn and practice clear and honest critical thinking.
