We believe too much in the mighty power of natural science, and we think ambitiously that the world, and the world beyond it, has been, is, and will be known and conquered by us. The self-worship spirit of human beings has never been broken since ancient times. Delusion and arrogance make us ignore our own insignificance and yearn naively: as big as the heart, the world will be as big.
The boy's father is a college professor and a man who believes in absolute rationality. In his view, there is nothing in this world that cannot be understood and mastered. Aunt is a kind person. Although she is brother and sister with her father, she has a very different outlook on life. In her opinion, there is God in this world, as long as you believe, God is in your heart.
The boy shook his head in disbelief. Aunt took him into her arms and said: I love you. This is God.
I'm not religious, but I believe what my aunt said. Natural science can solve the problems between us and the external world, but it cannot fill and comfort the gaps in our inner distress, anxiety and loss, and cannot give meaning to our existence. The rational principle inherited from natural science is not omnipotent, it cannot stop the sigh of life. When the boy's father lost the boy, he broke down. This is not only a violent shock in life, but also a serious destruction of the creed of life. At this time, he was in a trance, his heart was tangled, uneasy, and doubtful. He would ask himself thousands of times why this was happening.
Where is the bright future? Keith did not pretend to be wise and blind guides like the mouthpiece directors who have lost the ability to think independently. For those life rifts that we are unable to deal with, he did not try to cover up, weaken or even distort them, but presented them calmly and sincerely.
The religious connotation slandered by materialism is superficial and naive, but it contrasts its ignorance and ignorance. ", will arrogantly shout "there is nothing that can't be done, only the unthinkable". On the other hand, the ignorant era of political domination and ideological control does not seem to provide us with much modern care. A large number of people who have been brutally tamed by materialism still live only in the gain and loss of this world, and they still treat the spirit with the same brutal contempt.
The mention of religion here is not the same as exhorting everyone to be religious. The spirit of religion is not simply illusory reality and creation of gods, it is in a sense a way of comfort to ease the pains of life. Frankly speaking, there is really no way to completely heal the cracks in life, but in the face of such cracks, religion is far more positive about life than the tone of materialism. The result of the latter's long-term teaching to us is often the creation of a large number of empty people who only focus on immediate interests and emphasize practicality.
Do not despise others to pursue God, know that natural science solves problems we know, and religion helps us solve problems we don't know.
