A Brief Discussion: Me, Religion and Culture

Me – the creative Individual, Religion – the uncontainable Universe, and Culture – the spiritual sphere
that envelopes us, constitutes the triad that leads the article. Religion and Culture represent those
human soft aspects that usually are not examined by rationalists such as economists and politicians.
Both superhuman systems of faith and worship are carried out by human beings, who are the
initiators and the motivators of those systems. Individuality is imperative, because it conceives
creativity and innovation. It should be encouraged as long as it keeps a dynamic balance between
personal rights, obligations and responsibilities. Marx's negative opinion on Religion is denied
because of the evident that religion was and still is a crucial response to human very antic need. From
early days of humanity, people were in search of mysteries, unhuman events and disastrous
occurrences. God and his postulates were found to be the proper answer. Culture, which is the
manifestation of human physical and spiritual achievement, is a crucial ingredient of every social
structure. Frequently it is mistreated because it is intangible and deals with values other than money.
For ensuring success and further expansion, Culture must begin at home, before looking to global
arenas. Its proponents must learn to cope with the contemporary dangers that emerged from the fast
advancement of technology. The world of today is changing. In the Post-modern era of the 21st
Century, nothing is certain. At present, the only certain thing is the uncertainty. This situation
encourages religious people to seek God for salvation and non-religious individuals to promote
escapism. Laypersons and talented ones, are divided between creative, irresponsible and egotistic
individuals. All the groups, the immortal religion worshipers, the proponents of multifaced culture and
the general public participate in this remarkable transition, that looks, sometimes, like a revolution.
The article ends with an optimistic view and a hope that the Western Civilization would regain its
world's leadership position, provided the required reconstruction steps will be taken
