If religion disappeared tomorrow, what would you follow? instead of your conscience, science, society, philosophy or simply whatever feels right to you?

And who would decide which one is actually correct?

Let's suppose I am a Muslim and I was born in a Muslim family so of course it is my religion and I am following it and there are certain things which we are asked to do and from certain things we should stay away so I will imply them to myself.

But if there were no religion and no one to tell that this is wrong or this is right and then things would be different.

And also what is something that you would consider for yourself or surroundings and would imply(which now in religion islam is considered haram)

Translation: "Then suddenly… an existential crisis."

Questioning existence.

Questioning its purpose.

The “Who am I?” question.

And knowingly putting ourselves into situations that cause problems for us, even though we could have simply lived, adapted and focused on the things that could make our lives more meaningful.

But we humans are never truly "satisfied" with any situation. Our desires can never be completely fulfilled, and even when they are we still somehow struggle to be happy.

Suppose there is a child who is rich and has all the luxuries one could possibly think of. Everything is just a step away. They only have to ask and their wishes are fulfilled. But they have constant differences with their family. They can't talk to their parents the way they should because their parents are abusive and never treat them the way they deserve to be treated. That child feels alone and longs for a family that actually feels like a family where there is love, care, warmth and even arguments, because what family doesn't have disagreements? Just not the kind that can shatter a person.

Now another child who doesn't have those luxuries. They may not even have a proper home or a roof over their head but they have a good and healthy relationship with their parents. They love and care for one another and there is happiness within their family.

In one situation, the first child longs for a loving and understanding family while the second child longs for enough money to simply live a decent life.

We can't say that one of them is living the perfect life. Both are facing problems; problems that may be unseen by the other person or may not even be considered a problem by them. But that doesn't make those struggles any less real.

Everyone has their own battles even when we can't see them.

So, live your life to the fullest. Appreciate what you have, because somewhere, someone might be dreaming of the life you're living.
