Hinduism and Buddhism Two of the Oldest Religions


            The world is a place where thousands of people live and interact with each other every day. Without a doubt, every person is an individual, with different feelings and beliefs over situations that they come across. Everyday in our life we are able to talk and relate with different people, we certainly realize that some people have a way of thinking similar to us. Now, if we have the opportunity to get closer to these people, we may see that we share some of their deepest beliefs about live and the reason of being. However, a long time ago, people used to get together out of necessity and fear. The idea of getting killed over night from an animal or dying from starvation was not a tentative option, so people decided to stay together and work with each other so that they would be able to survive. However, times have changed and there is no longer a need for people to stick together for their survival now it is a choice to be together. Questions, fears and desires represent some of the reasons why people have been looking for answers ever since the beginning of time. Answers about why does it rain or where do we go after we die, represent some of the hundreds of reasons people started to believe that they were not alone and there was someone else that was not only watching over them. Some people also started to believe that whoever was watching them was also choosing what was going to happen the next day. Now the thought was in their minds that there was someone more powerful than them who could not be seen, but who was able to love or punish them. They started performing sacrifices to make it rain or to bring out the sun and little by little every aspect of Mother Nature became a god with super powers. After this people started to give names to the rituals that they performed for these gods and thus religions were created. .
             Now if we need to talk about religions, it would be a subject that is as extensive as anyone could imagine since there are well over 100 religions that are recognized in the world and there are probably many that are still unknown.
