Worldview: The Four Essential Questions

We all live with a worldview, a particular outlook on life. Our understanding of everything around us is colored through these lenses. One scholar once pointed out that there are four essential questions one should ask of any worldview, and these include the following:

  • Origin – where am I from?
  • Morality – how should I live?
  • Meaning – what is my purpose?
  • Destiny – where am I headed?

Regardless of whether one has a secular or religious outlook, these questions must be addressed, although the answers may differ.
