MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS...

Each one of us has a different perspective of reality and we all 'think' that we are right in the interpretation of the truth. Maybe we all are driven by the seemingly convincing fact that truth can be one and only one and rest other interpretations are false. So what indeed happens when all of us are thinking that we are right? Is the fight between individuals interesting enough? Do we need such kind of debates? Well,whatever maybe the cause,but I think that each one of us face this kind of situation in our daily lives. Whether the case is that we think that we are right,while we may very readily be wrong,or the case is that others are right but we automatically assume them to be wrong,we all face such dilemma in our lives. Someone claims the authority of books,someone claims the authority of reason over everything else,some even claim themselves to be well above others' intellect,while some are indeed mistaken!One argument is th...

Things work well in an atmosphere of mutual respect.If we demand respect from someone,we too have to extend the courtesy of respecting him/her.Often in day to day talking,we tend to lose this knowledge,and the results are frustrating at times.Personally speaking,I am at faults most of the time whether knowingly or unknowingly,I enforce my ideas on to others,and someone not of the same view that I am,doesn't manage to get respect from my side at all! Meanwhile,for the persons who agree with me or for the persons who don't agree with me most of them time but do so at times,I am a good,reasonable person.So no wonder why I get praise from some,while curses from others.So how does this arise?How come I disregard others while forcing my way through?First of all,I am someone who is rational by nature so anything irrational is extremely irritating.Then thanks to my upbringing or I should say my way of looking at myself,I have managed to keep emotions away from my day to day dealings w...

Recently I came across a photograph showing the view of earth from the lunar surface.What a breathtaking image it is! I don't know why but I can't stop looking at it.I am in love with this photograph even though I have seen it a lot of times in the past too.We all love our mother earth don't we?How she sustains us unconditionally.We are born here,play for a lifetime then leave,just the way it is.Looking at the earth,the tiny blue sphere that it appears like from the lunar surface made me realize how tiny we humans are in the scheme of things.At the same time it made me forget all the day to day worries we  face. There have been a lot of questions in my mind,regarding the origin of life,the purpose of it as well as the sustainability.Somehow,I don't agree with the explanation religions provides with the creationist theory.The scientific theory of the evolution provides some answers,but to only an extent.I believe it has a long way to go before it offers a compreh...

Failures are never glorified.This is the way of the world.The theroy of natural selection too seems to confirm that.Of course the most successful have the most chances to survive,others have to make way,however horrible it may sound.For me,failure was never going to be an option so when I failed to clear my entrance exam this month,I was in a state of despair.No hope seemed to be there,all the effort seemed useless and I was caught by surprise,quite literally.As time passed,and a few weeks later,that is today,I think it has left a deep scar on me and I have lost considerable amount of self confidence in the way. My past has never been a memorable one.There have been instances when I cursed myself for being alive here,but I had and still have the hope to succeed.For the past few months,I have been reading a lot of religious stuff and it has provided me a framework to deal with the problems in my life,yet there are a few where I just want to give up.A considerable amount of sel...
