What do you think of Nepal choosing a new goddess?

First thought... it's really not fair to the child... it's selfish of the adults to project this onto the child. Also, worshiping humans is really not a good idea.

[AI Opinion]

Nepal's tradition of selecting a living goddess, or "Kumari," is deeply rooted in their cultural and religious practices. While it may seem challenging from an outside perspective, this role is a respected part of their heritage. It involves immense cultural significance and detailed rituals. However, concerns about the impact on a child's development and freedom are valid, as it places unique responsibilities on very young individuals. It’s important to approach such traditions with cultural sensitivity and respect for diverse practices. 🌏

That's really sad. I feel so bad for the child. She's not going to have a normal childhood. I respect people's religious beliefs, but it really unfair to place so much responsibility on someone so young. Also, I agree with you. Humans aren't meant to be worshipped.
