Be Authentic & Original 
************************
Institutionalized religions often produce followers who conform to established norms and doctrines.

Jesus was not a Christian.
Buddha was not a Buddhist.
Krishna was not a Hindu.
Laozi was not a Taoist.
These figures were the originators of profound ideas, not adherents to any institutionalized belief system.

To be truly original means to transcend institutionalization and resist indoctrination.

Be your own philosopher and be the light of your life.

And stay away from mainstream news media. :)
