There is this beautiful novel, Lord of the Flies. A group of kids get stranded on an
00:05
island, far away island. One day it is found that one of the fat kids has actually been
00:11
slaughtered and his head has been impaled on a stick and a lot of flies are swarming
00:16
around it. So that's what gives the novel its name, Lord of the Flies. So that's how
00:20
beastly the kids become. Small kids, 5 to 12 years old. We are potentially divine, but
00:26
we are actually beastly. And spirituality is the journey from this fact to that potential.
00:34
The fact of the matter is we are not just flawed, but actually very dangerous people.
00:40
That's why morality is needed. Otherwise we will tear each other apart. That's why heaven
00:44
and hell are needed. So that some fear of consequences is there. Otherwise we can be
00:48
very dangerous people. We'll have to turn ourselves into real human beings. So education
00:53
is the answer. If you want a great system in which people of character etc., come on
00:59
go ahead and educate people.
