In the meantime, the mind gets fogged completely into the material things of this world with virtual no time left for the upliftment of the human spirit to the Creator. Statistical studies demonstrate that Christians who renounce seeking for more and more and, instead, thank God for what they have, tend to live a healthier and a happier life. What has been stated about Christianity applies equally well to other religions, above all, Buddhism and Hinduism. The reason is simple. Capitalism is generally built on greed that makes the human life turn itself from a life of simplicity to one of complexity.
Capitalism brings a lot of stress to people unnecessarily.
Righteousness as Main Goal of Religion Christianity, as well as every other religion, teaches that our end in life is righteousness, at times referred to as God. Everything we do should lead us to perfect union with God. According to the Blessed Virgin Mary in Medjugorje, union with God is what heaven is all about. This is the secret of genuine happiness, satisfaction, serenity and anything positive about life. In fact, the Blessed Mother emphasized that heaven does not start after life is over but in this very life itself and it keeps on going afterwards for all eternity.
