• A comment on Conversation: Do you think world would be more peaceful place to live without any religion ?

  May 19 2011: I believe all religions are the same and follow the same purpose, which is for human beings to be more united, more humane, and less attached to this physical world. By looking at all religions' thoughts and beliefs, we can obviously perceive that they all try to make this point clear: be kind, be loving, help one another, etc. That is to say, the diversity of religions does not lead to a diversity of attributes regarding being more and more humane. The only reason for the existence of different religions is that they were presented to human of different generations and eras with absolutely different cultures and thoughts. Therefore, all religions have the same value in essence.
  I, likewise, think that the way religion is used to serve sinister purposes should be totally separated from the whole concept of true religion.

  A comment on Conversation: Wealth and power have been our conventional measures of success. What definition will better sustain us now and how can we move into it?

  May 17 2011: I believe one could feel they have accomplished something in their life when they have taken a step, even the smallest one, toward what they are passionate for. Desire and passion are two vital elements of success, or at least of feeling successful. Therefore, I strongly believe that every one of us should journey back to our childhood passions, relive them and bring them back to our life again if we are willing to embrace who we really are. That sounds like a success to me!
