I recently tried to make sense of hinduism. i tried to read the upanishads but it was too difficult for me, at least on my first attempt.
I do favor simplicity, if only because of my own limitations. christianity has the bible, which i have already been exposed to in 8 years of parochial school. buddhism has the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold path.
i am mostly just wandering through this stuff and trying to make simple-minded sense of it all. it may seem like i am aggressive here but i am a lot more demanding of myself than of anyone else. i seek answers. being assertive seems ok under the circumstances. i have corrected myself already many times along this path. i might be wrong here or there, and although my manner may seem strange to some, i am always looking for better answers than those i currently have.
Well, nothing wrong with trying to find out what truth is. Hope you find it.
