I think formulating an ideology and creating ways of living based solely on practical habits or action instead of theoretical beliefs or dogma may be beneficial and essential to further maintain and improve our overall wellbeing and happiness.
On Beliefs And Dogmas
TLDR - Beliefs, theories, dogmas, and myths can often be harmful as they can be used to promote rituals based upon mere suspicion, and therefore they may not be practically helpful
- I think we should reserve belief only as a tool to believe in ourselves to do something
- Beliefs, theories, and dogmas may be harmful and unhelpful in making life better for all
- It may be worth striving to focus only on knowing things instead of believing in things
- Decoupling beliefs from practices within church and communities may be important
On Practices And Habits
TLDR - Practices, habits, actions, and plans may shape our positive wellbeing and happiness if we proactively create good practices, or our negative suffering and misery if we do not
- As for ideology, I might broaden its definition to include not just beliefs, but practices
- Whatever we call it, I think creating habits and practices to make life better can succeed
- It may be worth focusing not on what is right or true, but what is good or better for all
- Focusing on practices, habits, action, and values may be worthwhile and important
