Shmee-gil
In an effort to create a successful civilization, the people of Pahlavi have established their own belief system. This belief system shares similar moral values and teachings with other world religions and helps the people of Pahlavi can share wealth, have a deep love for the people and world, be completely equal in rights, and live in a safe environment, using the way of the Shmee-gil. Here are some examples. The first of the two parts of the Shmee-gil is the Shmee. The Shmee is the two moral values: Wealth and Equality. Wealth is important in terms of of Communism, because everyone shares the wealth, and nobody is poor, or rich. This goes along with Communism and Buddhism. As Frey states about Buddhism, This path follows the middle way (159). Communism is purely about those two moral values, as the main idea is that everyone is equal financially, and most classes are equal. Communism and Buddhism may seem like two completely contrastive ideas, but comparing their ideas shows that they both want the same outcome; the middle way of living for everyone. The second and final part of the Schmee-gil is the gil. Gil is the two moral values, love and security. With those two moral values crime will lower very well. Love means that nobody dislikes one another, and the citizens must be neutral or kind. This affects people within because crimes come from hatred. This is inspired from the overall idea of Buddhism; it seems like love is a prominent idea. As the Eightfold Path states, Live a life of Selflessness, love, and nonviolence. This shows that Buddhism focused around love. Security, while not being inspired by any religion, is very important. Keeping the people safe is the number one priority. Sure, the aforementioned moral values are important, but without security, there is a high chance there will be no civilization. Though security is not shown in any religion, almost all civilizations, dating back to Sumerian times, have had security to insure peoples safety. Nevertheless, all of these moral values are highly important, and the Shmee-gil will go down in history as a great idea.
