Question A

will i guess it would be healthy in it own way. for example it not technically hurting anyone and if they truely belive in it whos to say it wrong and unhealthy. yes they might not being living to there fullest potental. and they are stuck in the same twist routine but it allows jobs and a gaunatee that the society can function with out you. also i create a system where your looking forward to a ulimate goal and teaches you not to be scared of death.

question A

It has been evident through many of the stories that the class has read that it is not healthy at all to practice such self sacrifice. one prime example of this would be the story of siddharta. the physical strain that it takes to trick your body to do things such as fast for days, and meditate for days at a time. though this self sacrifice sounds very commendable in the popular siddharta folktale, it would not be best for someone to live their life like this in today's modern world. this would be tragic because there would be many unhealthy people with broken homes, all because they devoted all of their time to trying to reach enlightenment and not showing their children the right way to live.

Question A

The self-sacrifice we learned in eastern religions and philosophies in not healthy. We learned in Hinduism people believed in reincarnation. They were forced to live a certain way to reach a greater being in the next life cycle. And having "Bad Karma" will only bring them down. Living in a society like that will not let people act like they should naturally. However it did keep order in that society with the caste system. It is not wise to willingly give up our consciousness in search for a higher one. We learn this is Siddhartha. He spent 6 Years trying to find a higher one. But only to realize that the only way to break the cycle is to reach Nirvana. He wasted 6 years of his life to only reach a conclusion he had with him all along. So giving up your consciousness in search for a "Higher" one might just cause more problems for you.
