I enjoy this class because I am always introduced to new material. The religion of Ahmisa has great principles that I wish man did follow. I think living in this world, people have the mindset of survival of the fit. They don't care about anything else but themselves or the ones they love. If we can expand our circumference to include others outside of our small circle, how much more filling would our lives become? We would actually care how a person is doing when we pass them by on the street, instead of just asking the question on the surface. I was driving out of church today, and I came to a traffic stop where it was me or the other car to go next out of the driveway. I thought to myself briefly let the other car go, then instead of going with my gut, I just went and let her go after. Out of guilt I looked back and noticed the car behind me did the right choice and let the car I cut off go ahead of them. The Jainism mentality would agree with the choice he made. I felt so bad after that and it caused me to think of how selfish I was to make that choice. I hope to read up more on that religion. There principles are some that I hope will help my circle expand.
