I think a worldview is how someone views the world in relation to their life. It can be affected by their religion, personal opinions, etc.
In relation to my answer above, everybody has a worldview, because everybody has things going on in their lives. For example, if one’s hobby was to sit around all day watching TV, their worldview would be that the world is a very busy place that one can escape with television.
One worldview I have heard (many, many times) is the statement “War is bad.” For the most part, wars are bad, but some wars are necessary.
My worldview is that the world is that the world is a cruel, cruel place with little happiness. I think this is true because for every person living in a mansion that has servants and butlers, there is a person living in poverty with no sufficient home. I’m not a pessimist, I am merely stating the truth.
I agree mostly with your world veiw, though mine is slightly less pessimistic
ReplyDeleteLily: I agree that some wars are necessary. Regarding your last comment, you tend to be a bit nihilistic. Why do you think the world is a cruel place? Is it merely the example you offered or are there other reasons you can think of?
ReplyDeleteLily-
ReplyDeleteI would agree with your comment, but I thought about all the people in the world willing to die for others (i.e. my mom is willing to die for me). Are they bad people?
