This is by far the most
perplexing question of any on the list. I have studied many religions
and philosophies, some very deeply, and I can tell you that if one
common lesson, one essential element of life could be boiled down from
them all, it would be: Don't be an asshole.
No, seriously, that's it. Just about every world religion says at least that much. I mean, yeah, they say other stuff too, but this is the common ground. This is what they all basically say. I wish I had something fancier to tell you, but if there is a universal truth out there common to all of religion, philosophy and social theory that points to a single successful navigation method to get through life, that's the one. Don't be an ass. That's it. So there you go, and you're welcome.
