Only if you know

It is interesting to know that people is getting more and more irrational today. Therefore, the usual thing that we believe does not hold true, for obvious reason.
My dad used to tell me, no matter what we do, must know your line: Do not Hurt your family Do not hurt the society.
A person betrays his family, or do anything that can potentially hurt his family, is unforgettable. A person deliberately bring harm to the society, cant survive either, as he does not have the basic requirement to be part of any community. So, what it a community? Why do we need a community in the first place? This brings the concept of identity.
Identity is an ambiguous term, especially in a increasing globalised world today. With the unprecedented mobility of people, we tend to ignore the importance of identity. Therefore, we do not regard each other from the same origin as one. In this very moment, we lost our identity. And once we lost our identity, community can no longer serve its purpose.
Therefore, we seek the help of religion, to replace the common identity that we used to share together, and fought for it long, long ago. Religions can unite people, on the other hand, it can even control people's mind. It is undeniable, that's dangerous, if it is controlled by some one with a particular intention. However, identity is self-aware whereas religion is being imposed upon through a 3rd party.
So why are we so obsessed with the pursue of a religion while we seem to forget the importance of our common identity, or rather our origin?
Because there is a inherent distrust among us, even toward the very same community. Fear is the main reason for the pursue of religion in today's world. The only possible way to let all of us to have faith, for one another. Of course, it also provides hope, purpose of for our life. Therefore, people see religion as a better alternative compare to the community.
However, there is time when religion fails. What do we do if religion cannot solve our real life problem?
Until then, we realise the importance of community.
So what about friendship? Or Rather, true friendship?
Most of us believe that friendship, or rather true friendship need to be tested. It requires a life-long commitment. Only with this commitment, true friendship shall be seen.
I believe otherwise. In fact, the fact that friendship requires commitment distorted the true meaning of friendship. TRUE friendship does not require ANY commitment. Because, it is self-aware. And this awareness can be only felt if we encounter true friendship. Because it answers the fundamental concepts of common identity, common belief. Only through this, we can fell the satisfaction. It helps to solve the deepest problem within us. That's is the type of friendship we are trying very hard to find, only because it is natural. Friendship beyond this category is just artificial.
Marriage based on this kind of true friendship is even more rewarding.
That's is what we should pursue. And we all shall cherish.
