For example, consider the two philosophies below (ideas which I think could be adapted from different religions)<br /><br />"There’s a debate in our culture about what really makes us happy, which is summarized by, on the one hand, the book “On the Road” and, on the other, the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The former celebrates the life of freedom and adventure. The latter celebrates roots and connections. Research over the past thirty years makes it clear that what the inner mind really wants is connection. “It’s a Wonderful Life” was right."<br /><br />Which ever you follow is going to guide your path.
