[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It gives me total freedom from worry and anxiety, and also no pressure to achieve goals. I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, including myself. This means all my energy can just be on enjoying the experience of life.[/quote]

How does your religion do this for you?[/quote]

Sorry— I didn’t get a chance to respond until now. My religion helps me to understand that life is nothing but an experience— and how I experience life is up to me. I choose how I react to life. I can choose to react to events with worry and anxiety, or I can choose to not. I can choose to feel like I need to achieve goals— or I can choose to not. I can choose to be self-critical because I want to meet some external standard; or I can choose to constantly strive to be better just because that makes for an even better experience. [/quote]

Thanks.  This sounds like a good philosophy, but not religious, because you didn't mention anything about the promise of an afterlife.[/quote]
