Rediscovering Humanity: A New Path Beyond Family and Faith
Helping others today is often seen as a challenging task, not because it is inherently difficult, but because of how people approach it. Many are guided by the belief that helping others is essential simply because their religion instructs them to do so. This raises an important question: why should one need religion to affirm that helping people is good? And further—if a religion were to claim that helping others is wrong, would people accept that as truth?
I believe in the greater potential of people themselves. Humanity is capable of much more than following traditions purely out of habit or inherited belief. The foundation of how we treat others often begins with family values and personal principles. When individuals step outside of those inherited structures, they sometimes discover new perspectives and, in many cases, better ways to live.
This is not a rejection of religion, but rather an observation: too often, I see large groups of people conforming without reflection, embracing faith because past generations told them it was the “right” way to live. I hope that one day people will awaken to the simplicity of life—recognizing that every moment matters, and choosing to live according to their own values and principles, freely and authentically.
In this pursuit, ethics, science, and technology stand out as three essential elements. When these factors are connected, they create a powerful combination that can unlock new methods of thinking, new ways of living, and new possibilities across every aspect of our lives.
