I was raised in the Christian faith, but recently I've been drawn to traditions like Buddhism, which aren't so dualistic. I accept the Buddhist notion that suffering in life is inevitable; it's not just that we make mistakes and suffer, but it is part of the experience of life. My sense is that the achievement of the sacred, those who are able to do it, is probably the highest manifestation, accomplishment of human life. For most of us life is a journey and it is important that we treat each other well, that we treat the Earth well,and also that we care for ourselves. All that is very much a part of what it means to be a human being.
