I also look at my brother who sort of needs the direction in his life, he needs a reason and wants to be told what to do he doesn't want to reflect deeply about his life, challenge himself and come out with answers that only pertain to him.
I've told him, that if you want answers you need to start with classic literature.
And yes, I know The Bible is one of the oldest books.
Ironically, as a Christian, he hasn't even read The Bible.
Instead he goes to church to be told how to be a Christian.
Why would answers that "only pertain to him" be found in classic literature? Doesn't the term "classic" more or less contradict that idea?
Additionally, isn't most of what you yourself do based on what you're told? Have you studied nutrition, exercise science, culinary arts, philosophy, political science, religion, etc? If so, do you think that you came to your conclusions independently, as some atomistic individual?
