If you were to ask me what the most important thing I learned in religions and revolutions was, I would probably tell you it was not to judge a book by its cover. Every single time we learned about a new culture or religious tradition, it honestly didn’t feel that different. there are so many parallels between every culture, and the differences seem to only fall in the specifics. For example, all the Abrahamic religions are directly connected, Buddha was originally a Hindu, and the three Chinese schools of thought were more or less created due to the same event. So, when we view religions or spiritual practices as different or weird, we’re really saying the same thing about our beliefs and practices too.
