In my opinion, yes. We do need philosophy or religion today.

First and for all, religion is a teaching for us to practice. Not only that, we can learn from it and use it for our daily lives. It helps us to be a good person and respect ourselves and also to the whole world. It made us realise how important the world is. We have to learn to appreciate, to thank and to know what we get and receive.

Sometimes bad things do occur in our daily lives. Have you ever heard the quote, " Life is difficult ".? Life isn't easy, isn't smooth and isn't fair. Its not that we did not do things right, its just a fate. Sometimes, we lost faith in ourself. That why we need a guide, we need a teaching and we need the correct path to lead us to the right way.

Can you imagine if there is no religion, no philosophy ? The world would be filled with lots of freedom. Yes, we do need freedom in our daily lives, but sometimes, we do misused the freedom that is gifted for us. Let’s view some examples .

One of them is some parents give too much freedom to their children. Why ? Their children will be influenced from bad companies. They will be found at the street late midnight or worse, in the morning at 1am plus. Some would smoke, take drugs and even sell drugs. The problem is then published in newspapers because the rising of the similar problems in the community. In the same time, the children will forget their own religion when they have their own “pleasure” moments. They did not respect the community, the world.

Then, the parents who read the article would give limited freedom to their children. As you can see the problem doent only affect the children who abused the freedom, but also the children who longs for the best freedom to enjoy.

So from this, maybe, some of us do not need religion. But what about the next generation ? Do they really need religion ? If they don’t know about religions, wouldn’t it be a pity ?
