Who is a Fundamentalist

As we continue to evolve, our knowledge remains incomplete until we reach our full potential. Among us, there are many who passionately believe their knowledge is absolute. This egotistical phenomenon has persisted as long as we’ve been conscious of our existence. Despite learning something new almost every day, we still cling to the belief that we’re right about whatever we hold dear.

Can anyone truly claim to possess complete knowledge? Personally, I feel far from perfect or complete in my knowledge because I’m constantly learning. I prefer to carry a basket of the unknown so I don’t become egotistical about what I know. However, I do hold some strong convictions. I believe it’s vital for all human beings to grasp that we are continuously evolving entities. Until we realize our full potential, our knowledge will never be complete, and with incomplete knowledge, one should not become an extremist. As individuals, we are not mere followers; we are the CEOs of our lives, thus responsible for our actions.

Passionate convictions can lead to extremism, especially when proven wrong. For example, contemporary debates over sexual liberation often revolve around the issue of equal human rights. Even the Supreme Court may find itself divided on such matters, highlighting the changes our world is undergoing.

Rights once considered acceptable can become wrong, and wrongs may become rights. Practices like human sacrifice, sati, killings over religious differences, racism, sexual inequality, and human rights violations have undergone such transformations over time.

If asked about fundamentalism, many would point to religious extremists. However, upon deeper reflection, one might find that atheists can also be fundamentalists. It’s the fervor one invests in their belief system that defines fundamentalism, regardless of the issue at hand. While religious fundamentalists have the right to believe in their path to God, actions like extremist violence cross a moral boundary, negating any claim to spirituality.

Fundamentalists often believe their knowledge is superior and seek to impose their beliefs on others. This inherently creates a political situation where spirituality is overshadowed. In a truly spiritual world, nothing but the truth should prevail.

Humanity’s constant evolution renders it impossible for anyone to claim complete knowledge. Denying someone their human rights leads to racism, religious extremism, and prejudice.

Fundamentalism arises from the belief that one’s knowledge is absolute, for or against any subject. It’s crucial to recognize the changes humanity has undergone and is experiencing.

Our understanding of God, religion, and spirituality varies widely. Instead of imposing our beliefs on others, we should learn to agree to disagree, fostering mutual respect.

Education systems must be reconsidered if we truly desire world peace. Inner peace, achieved through individual reflection and acceptance, lays the foundation for global harmony.

Humanity’s strength lies in unity, just as a family’s strength lies in tolerance and understanding. We must transcend our differences to protect our collective future.

By educating individuals to embrace diversity and reject dominance, we can transform nations and religions. The individual is the cornerstone of humanity, and their well-being should be our top priority.
