Even secular humanism has great spiritual resources; it is almost like a religion to me.

I can do what my energy, my time, to my other sort of commitment. And then also emotional, religious harmony.

If you contribute to other peoples happiness, you will find the true meaning of life. The key point is to have a genuine sense of universal responsibility

As human beings we each have a responsibility to care for humanity. Expressing concern for others brings inner strength and deep satisfaction. As social animals, human beings need friendship, but friendship doesn't come from wealth and power, but from showing compassion and concern for others.
