  13.  @grapevinestoragescribner8518  Thank you for that thoughtful and respectful reply. It is neither condescending nor self-righteous. While I agree with many of your points, especially your initial sentence and that spirituality can be practiced without being limited within the boundaries of a specific religion, I still don't see any difference between mankind and other animals. Modern science can detect atomic particles and witness past events while scanning the universe. But, the immortal soul, spirits, and gods can only be recognized via faith. So easily modern man has dismissed Zeus, Thor, Athena and all other gods from ancient history. Yet, many still cling to the belief that there is only one omnipotent god. Then who is Satan, if not another immortal god of evil? Again, even within our own minds, there must be a struggle between good and evil, the ebb and flow between the opposing forces of yin and yang. But, neither yin nor yang need the invisible god nor Satan to exist anymore than action vs reaction. The harder one pushes a swing, the more it will push back in return. Mankind is hung up on some misguided notion that there is some mysterious divine purpose for all things. But, we must be responsible for ourselves and determine our own purpose and goals. Our self worth is dependent upon our own accomplishments, which are only reflections of our endeavors. Others will judge our significance, based upon their own awareness. By definition, The Hermit rejects the misguided judgments of mankind and walks his own path. Life can be as simple or complicated as we make it. I choose simple facts. The Buddha taught that happiness doesn't depend upon wealth nor possessions, but by living respectfully. We can either accept reality or do our part to make it better. This is the ultimate path and purpose of one's life. Why do we need some god to explain that to us? Best regards, Sir.
