Lust, extreme anger, excessive greediness, too much of attachment, excessive ego is certainly wrong.
But we reproduce so we exist on earth.
We get angry because we believe certain right things - this is also one reason for anger in good ones.
We are greedy about our living and therefore about our belongings, which again is right.
We love our kids a lot and I don’t see anything wrong in it.
Self - respect is a very nice thing.
My mother is a religious person and she says they guide her in temple that we shouldn’t love our children. What a heck?
Religion sets an impossible goal to realise God because their is No God to be realised at the end. God is already realised by us! Isn’t he?
What a religious strategy again!

Leave behind or leave aside the imaginative part. There is in reality no throne, no people or fairies around, no white light seen, noticed or mentioned by each dying person. He is in utter pain, disgust, sorrow and shattering experience when dying in almost all cases.

I do not think that religion sets any goals. It provides us with a path, and if we want goals, we can set them for ourselves, but goals are more a bugbear to life, than anything useful to life.
Religion sets no goals, but allows you to realise the truth through living it alive in life.
Goals bury you in religion, as well as in life.
Be alive to life, and let love live in you, and all will play out well then, without the mind's need for goals annoying you.

@Aakk77 Yes, goals might be good for some people, but for me, they can deter one, or lead one away from their main overall purpose, or life mission.
We might have a material goal, for example, that more distracts us from fulfilling our true purpose in life, which is usually a spiritual purpose, not a worldly goal.

I think a goal is good for us. People without goals end up achieving less in life. Aim, objective or goal is good for bringing up our full potential. But it shouldn’t be the goal which is against the nature. For example, as some religions in India narrate,or teach. I have mentioned this above in the main post.
