    At least in the professional field, what I’ve seen is that anyone younger than you working on the same thing is already more successful than you.

    Previously I used to feel bad about it, but now that I have accepted it, I feel happy that I made it there late rather than never. And it makes me want to improve to the point that I’ll be the youngest one in the room with other peers.

    Regarding parenthood I can’t say much, but it definitely isn’t a measure of success.







  • I agree and disagree as well.

    Religion as it is refers to a way of life. Ideally what your way of life is should not change with what others do or not do.

    But realistically, what we have seen is that religion lets people justify their own shortcomings just because they are part of a secret group and then force their “way of life” on others.

    At the same time, holding onto a single “way of life” is intrinsically prone to mistakes, since we are never given complete knowledge about everything and will never have it. We need to change constantly to be better versions of ourselves.

    If there are people who believe in something greater than them, and are prepared to change if they have the necessary proof, then I’m afraid I can’t call them religious. I’d call them spiritual.
