ABSTRACT: Me—the creative Individual, Religion—the uncontainable Universe, and Culture—the spiritual sphere that envelopes us, constitutes the triad that leads the article. Religion and Culture represent those human soft aspects that usually are not examined by rationalists such as economists and politicians. Both superhuman systems of faith and worship are carried out by human beings, who are the initiators and the motivators of those systems. Individuality is imperative, because it conceives creativity and innovation. It should be encouraged as long as it keeps a dynamic balance between personal rights, obligations and responsibilities. Marx’s negative opinion on Religion is denied because of the evident that religion was and still is a crucial response to human very antic need. From early days of humanity, people were in search of mysteries, unhuman events and disastrous oc-currences. God and his postulates were found to be the proper answer. Culture, which is the manifestation of human physical and spiritual achievement, is a crucial ingredient of every social structure. Frequently it is mistreated because it is intangible and deals with values other than money. For ensuring success and further expansion, Culture must begin at home, before looking to global arenas. Its proponents must learn to cope with the contemporary dangers that emerged from the fast advancement of technology. The article ends with an optimistic view and a hope that the Western Civilization would regain its world’s leadership position, provided the required reconstruction steps will be taken.
