[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question: I get that Eid at the end of Ramadan is a happy celebration, but is Ramadan really a “ happy” occasion? [/quote] Why not? It shows continued existence of a connection between you and your inherited religion. It shows you can control your body and mind to develop good habits and rid bad habits. It shows you how strong your body is and how to fix weaknesses. It develops empathy for people who face poverty, hunger, disability and disease. You fast, you pray, you stop yourself from bad things, try to do good things, do charity or charitable actions etc. Its good for the poor who are at receiving end. Even though a whole month of getting early and staying without water for 12-18 hrs is very inconvenient, specially for physically demanding lines of work or in extreme climates but philosophy behind the idea makes sense.
