Hinduism


I find Hinduism to be an extremely interesting religion. The idea of four goals appeals to me the most. Last class we discussed each of the four goals and which one we would most likely fall into. I decided that as of right now, I identify the most with the idea of Kama. Kama is the goal focused around pleasures in life. I think that I identify the most with this stage because of my age. Age is a huge factor to consider when determining who falls into which category. As I grow up and begin a life on my own, I am almost certain that I will be more focused on Artha and Dharma. Artha is focused around fame, wealth, and success. Dharma is focused around duty. I know that I will want to have a successful career as an adult and I will have a duty to provide for my family.
