Page 85 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
83
S werving from the real purpose of
life is, in a way, losing one's values.
SIndeed, one does not expect
elevated values from those who believe
that the world is the one and only place in
which to live and that all persons,
including oneself, will cease utterly at
death. Similarly, one does not expect
humane qualities in someone who does not
think he is being tested in his deeds in this
world and that he will be paid in full
according to them in the hereafter.
It is unavoidable that those communities
clinging to such distorted philosophies will
experience spiritual idleness. In this short
life, individuals are mostly concerned
about gaining personal benefits and
satisfying their own desires, with the basic
objective of leading a life for which they do
not have to be responsible. Meanwhile,
their ambition is never to attain perfection
of character, believing that this will not add
anything beneficial to their life. On the
contrary, on the basis of their distorted
outlook on life, they consider helpful,
conscientious, compassionate and
indulgent people somewhat "foolish." Their
rationale commands the strong to exert
pressure on the weak and use violence
against them, without respecting any of
their rights.
