Am I a Humanist?
The concept, belief or idea of humanism is often defined as the value, quality and potential of an individual. There are different factors that make you a humanist. Humanists believe that we all have the freedom to chase our desires. They are confident that human capacity can shape society. Reflecting on my own values, I am not a humanist. However, I do agree with some humanist ideas and concepts. I do believe that all humans have talents, and it can get better with no limits. I also do sometimes doubt human limits looking into myself; however, the extraordinary achievements of human history ensure me that everyone has their potential. Do I also believe that everyone has their own values and that they should be respected? Well, I do believe in the freedom to pursue our own desirability to a certain degree. This has to do with some of the religious influences I have, as we believe that we do not own our life. Humanists seem to balance religion and humanism, as if religion is not the most priority. Having your own values such as enthusiasm and love does not seem to be wrong. However, it feels unreasonable if that were to control yourself. Lastly, humanists believe that education is important and should be accessible to all. I totally agree with this as well. To conclude, I am not a humanist, but respect some of the beliefs of humanism.
