I taught literature and philosophy to the undergraduate students at Harvard University and UCLA. I, being an existentialist, like Jean Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and Simone de Beauvoir question the existence of God and the validity of religion. I believe ethics must be an innate thing born of one's thoughts and the power of one's intellectual ability. If at the end of one's life as Hafiz the Persian poet of 12th century has written, "one is carried on the shoulders of a drunk man, mourned by the music of a flute, wrapped in grape leaves and placed in our graves." Knowing that our lives was incandescent and simple and
kind--we would achieve our goal and be happy. Happy knowing that during the brevity of our lives, we have done all that we can to not levy existence with the weight of our being, and we left the world a little more graceful and appreciated. Without the existence of a God the revolution of our thoughts truly belongs to us. And those we come to touch. It is up to us, without the notion of sin, to determine right from wrong, and always choose to do right. If after death, we were to come to find another life after this, it should suit us well. For we would meet a few more Mondays which lead to Tuesdays. No worries of death, redemption and the fire of punishment should frighten us.

For all these arguments and more, please take my class.
