Cute letters I received at the camp :)

I wonder! If there is any kind of religious tradition that justifies someone’s deeds through exploration of the surrounding and events that caused them to do commit this act! Would be interesting to see how it works!

So far what I’ve drawn from my learning and exploring different religious traditions is that it seems that most religion put an onus on a human for his actions, which, i. e., could be expressed in this maxim (?): “even if the conditions are «bad», why should you be the «bad»” (or continue be «bad»)

Quite interesting! A lot of religions and philosophical views tend to debate on whether evil is inherent in the world, whether it can be eradicated, when and by whom (if applicable), what can one be! It’s a tapestry of human’s experience with other humans and the nature!

In Zoroastrianism, evil deeds are said to originate from infiltration of “evil forces” that counter Ahura Mazda (the creator), and in some other religious practices.

Seems, while, in Taoism, both forces are recognized as part of the physical realm, originating from the Tao itself, in Korean mythology, the wickedness stems rather either from the chaotic and disorderly conduct of the creation of the world or due to a rule of a god who stole the world.

As one is free to define their “good” and “evil”, a lot of people draw their inspiration from the religion and common folk beliefs (or practices) and, hence, tend to subject themselves to a specific worldview. This is the result of the “original sin” in Christianity, but not so in other religions

I’ll probably update it later through :)
