MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS...

Whenever you feel like there is no purpose to life,that all you seek is eventually going to be wasted,everything you seek is nothing but an illusion and as you reach the destination of this journey known as life it turns out to be - DEATH. By this I don't mean death is horrible or is something to be avoided,but when you don't see a purpose to life itself,it is all frustration. The more I know about life,the more pointless it seems. As a God denier,I don't have the support of some supreme deity. Although,I confess here that I seem to understand now,why more people follow God than who do not. People like me,either give up and say all this God denying was a delusion and follow some religion for the rest of their lives,and the others,keep on struggling. When you do not have a shadow of religion over your head,life is definitely a struggle. But whether this struggle is worth it or not,is a matter of personal experience.  I am too young to give up a search for truth withou

I have been wanting to write down a few of my negative aspects for a long time now.

Things have been accumulating in my brain for a long time now. It is the time I should let out some,in order to have a peaceful future. I have some responsibilities to fulfill and when people find me running away from them,they sort o

I have been reading works of Confucius since a few years and frankly speaking,I find myself connected to his ideas. Whenever I read the 'Doctrine of the mean' or the 'Analects',I don't find these ideas to be coming from the mind of someone sitting in China 2500 years ago,but instead it feels like a good teacher who is very close and is trying to help me understand myself. The ways in which he portrays the problems and then the solutions we can find to our day to day problems,by cultivating our character often amazes me. Today,I was going through 'The analects' and this line suddenly caught my attention. I immediately went into the contemplating mode! Here it is: “In ancient times,men learned with a view to their own improvement. Nowadays,men learn with a view to the approbation of others.”          -Confucius Analects book XIV Now,as I think I am grown enough to think on these issues,it is something very close to my heart. I have graduated an year go,and st
