What can we learn about how to treat ourselves from existent wisdom and science once we admit that we are animal that don't have souls.
Why are you unhappy?
1) Because you've been told that you are better than animals, and not just the smartest one
2) That your feelings are flaws in your cognition, not the foundation of it.
3) That pleasure is sinful and dangerous, as opposed to just an unreliable compass
4) That the key to understanding human nature is found in the bible, not in the scientific study of the human animal.
With these 4 ideas (to be reviewed and amended as we go forward) I will reexamine established wisdom and show which are helpful for a secular person in the present day and age.
