Understanding the various worldviews

What is a worldview, well as the word describes it, a way in which we view the world.

Now we sort of picked from psychology a very negative thing, which is, “it’s all in the mind!” the truth is “IT’S ALL IN THE MIND!” in other words, the fact that something is in the mind is not a joke, it truly is in the mind, how we view things (good or bad) is how we react (fear or love!)

So here are quite simply two basic worldviews – the first is, things are good – hopefully people can have this, and when people live in a first world country, where there are laws and respect from one man to another, there is no reason why people won’t have this view!

The other: things are bad, and when people live in a third world country (or any society that is harsh “dog eat dog world”) there is no reason why people won’t have this view!

Ultimately, there is a third, world-view, which is not naïve love, nor harsh protective judgmentalism coming from fear.

And that is the worldview of Judaism, namely, things are here to bring out the best in us – life is a series of experiences that develop our souls.
