The non-profit association "Freude spenden e.V." was founded by individuals who embrace the principles of the humanistic worldview. According to these principles, we aim to positively influence the world.
The humanistic worldview is based on the belief that every person inherently possesses dignity and worth. It emphasizes the importance of freedom, autonomy, reason, and empathy, as well as the individual's ability for self-fulfillment and moral action. Here are some key aspects of the humanistic worldview:
Dignity and Worth of the Individual: In the humanistic worldview, a person is seen as having inherent value and dignity that is independent of external circumstances or attributes. Every person has the right to be respected and treated as an equal member of society.
Freedom and Autonomy: Humanism emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and autonomy. People should have the right to make their own decisions, express their opinions freely, and shape their lives according to their own values and beliefs.
Reason and Rationality: The humanistic approach places great value on reason and rationality as tools for gaining knowledge, solving problems, and leading a meaningful life. Critical reflection and open dialogue are considered essential components of human progress.
Empathy and Compassion: Humanism promotes the development of empathy and compassion as fundamental human qualities. The ability to understand others' situations and act for their well-being is seen as central to social coexistence and the creation of a fairer and more compassionate society.
Self-Fulfillment and Personal Growth: Humanism encourages individuals to realize their full potential and shape their lives according to their individual abilities, interests, and passions. The pursuit of personal fulfillment, meaningfulness, and happiness is regarded as a central element of a fulfilling life.
Responsibility and Morality: Humanism emphasizes the importance of responsibility and moral action towards others and the environment. Acknowledging universal human rights and committing to the promotion of justice, peace, and sustainability are essential components of the humanistic ethos.
Overall, the humanistic worldview fosters a positive view of humanity as active creators of their own existence and as members of a community based on principles of equality, freedom, reason, and compassion. It provides an inspiring foundation for developing a humane and just society.
Helping people in need is just one aspect of our support. Promoting this worldview can also take many forms, such as supporting sports, continuing education, and the arts and culture. In short, we see our mission as positively influencing our collective coexistence in its entirety.
