There are many religions and philosophies that offer a variety of answers. It is not easy to choose which path to follow. However, there seems to be one ideal which is cherished in every religious tradition. This is the ideal of unselfishness. A truly holy person is dedicated to others. I am not suggesting we should become saints but it is clear that kindness and generosity are creative and inspiring spiritual resources. No matter which spiritual path we take, being altruistic leads to real fulfillment.
