Without including God, it is quite hard to explain our existence in logical way. Some say there was a huge exposition called ‘Big Bang’; and that’s how we all started; however I find it very hard to understand, considering those people, humanists, do not know ‘what’ caused the huge explosion, Big Bang.

       I definitely think that God, the creator, exists as out daily guidance and as ultimate father, and that Jesus Christ, the son of God, came to the earth to save us all. However, the way I look at Bible is quite different from those of others. Before I study Bible, I think we should think about the most basic question ‘why did God create us, and why are we here?’ To me, the answer is ‘God created us because he loves us, and we are here to love God.’ Therefore, I think we are capable of more things than we are, since our abilities are from God. For example, we are quite rational. Whether we need help of God to process the thinking, we always do, at least try to, think logically, which guides us to make right decisions. Now, that brings a question of ‘what is right?’

       God is right; thus his purpose of sending us to the earth will be right; which is to love him and please him. Whatever we do, if that’s what makes our father happy or what he wants us to do, I think, is right. In that sense, Bible, to me, is guidance of our rational thinking for right decision, not the textbook that we have to memorize for us to copy what it says.

       Can we believe our own sense? Of course we ca. Otherwise, how do we feel God, how are we supposed to feel his love? I personally feel his love everyday: that’s my happiness. Every time I do things that would make my father happy, I feel the same way. I believe my feeling, that when I feel truly happy, from my heart, even if my body does not feel the same way, I am doing right thing; and that feeling is what helps me, in my daily life, to make good decisions.

       For example, once a week, or more if possible, I go up to middle school and help middle school students do their homework or study for their tests. I really like it because whenever I can help them understand or do things that they are supposed to, I feel so happy. There are some days that I feel so tired and just want to go home and take a nap; however, because I know that I eventually will better after helping those students who need or want my help than after my nap, I make my decision to go up to meddle school.

       My thought on world view also effects how I treat other people. I very much think that we have to respect other people, their thought, opinion and idea as mush as possible, and it sounds similar to the humanism Idea; however, the reason beyond it is quite different. As humanists’ idea is that we have to treat others just like how we want to be treated by others, I think we have to treat others because we love each other, like God loves us all. So when I respect people well, even if I do not receive the same respect, I can still be happy rather than being upset from the expectation that others would treat me equally.

       My decision of future plan falls under the same principle. Last year, I struggle so much whether I should do what I am talented at, which for me was art, or I should do what I wanted to do more, studying economics. Beginning of this year, I made my decision to study econ., thinking that I am here to be happy and if I can make lots of money to help others and to give others the same opportunity that I had, being able to choose what we want to do, that is the right thing. I do not know what is really going to happen yet; however, I know that I made right decision because I thought through it logically believing we are capable of being rational and I trust my feelings, excitement and happiness, because these all are gifts from God.
