I decided on my own to become a humanist in my mid-30's after seeing the most savage cruelties of the world and the unbearable suffering borne by mankind.
I made a silent vow not to be cruel to anyone or any life-form and to be kind to the best of my ability. It's a lifelong process and I know, in the depth of my heart that, if I can live up to this vow, I would somehow find my 'religion' at the end.
