Brain is a computer. It functions with a written language. Very few are aware of the way this language is written
or formed .
As soon a child is born or even when it is in the womb of its mother, the process starts.
The environment of its mother, her feelings, emotions are all conveyed to it.
From the day of birth, the religious beliefs, culture, language, customs, parents’ beliefs are all getting registered in the fertile brain. By the time it is a little more than one, it starts to speak the vernacular language to the exclusion of all the others in the world. The Italian children speak Italian, English ones English and so on.
It imbibes slowly but steadily the religious beliefs of the parents and takes as true whatever they hold as true.
Depending on their religion it may
believe in an Almighty God or Allah (Christianity and Islam). It could believe that there is no God ( orthodox Buddhism and communism). It may sometimes adhere to Pantheism and Adawaitha ( Hinduism) and so on.
Whatever an adult holds as true has a lot to do with what he/she was made to believe as a child. In the later life, nobody questions the objectivity of the beliefs. The brain simply believes them to the exclusion of anything contradictory.
Otherwise how could people believe that God will try to help you cure your sickness, when, for instance, in any natural calamity thousands and thousands get killed instantly like in an earthquake, tsunami, in a tempest or slowly like in that brought about by a famine or drought. If God is interested in helping man he would not allow natural calamities to kill millions! There are millions who die of starvation and death. There is no help coming from above, but still people instinctively believe in god and his mercy, helping nature and love!
Your values and ethics is inculcated in you from your surroundings. In America, if a boy does not go steady with a girl by the time he is say, 15 the mother gets worried. Having sex in the process is all socially approved. Nobody feels the prick of conscience when one indulges in it. But see how the same act makes people of say, India feel sorry and sinful!
.
IN the promiscuous societies people indulge in free sex without any qualms whereas the heavens will come down if a boy kisses a girl in a strictly moralistic society.
Polyandry and polygamy are still prevalent is some societies whereas monogamy is the
accepted norm is in so many others.
Female infanticide is accepted in many poor cultures but in the west this is a crime. Gender equality prevalent in the west prohibits killing of females fetuses.
Your truth is the truth of the society you are brought up in.
In the socialistic countries there are so may who believe that making money is a sin. They are taught that nobody can acquire wealth without exploiting the poor. This is far from the truth. Only when people accumulate money will new industries sprout out and there will be more employment opportunities and the production of good and services, required to uplift the society, increased.
.
There are a few aboriginal tribes which believed in the necessity of killing an enemy and carrying the head to claim a wife. Were they not many emperors and kings who killed all the able bodied males in wars they perpetuated?
Killing is a crime only in a particular context. You can kill in the defense of your motherland or in a socially accepted dual.
There is no absolute virtue or sin. Slavery was ok until a few decades back and so was racial segregation. Now the times have changed and equality is the accepted norm.
Your sense of virtue and sin is purely based on the way your brain gets programmed.
Your written language is a product of your home and environment.
rite your abstract here.
