My God


Does god exist? People world over and from time immemorial have pondered on this and have given their explanation. Over a period of time common interests and power struggles have bundled these ideas into organized religions which we see in the world around us. So if we look into the origin of god as a belief we will notice that it is associated with the unexplainable and the random nature of the world around us. When we could not understand the rains, the days the nights and the natural processes around us we offered this all an explanation and a name which we call God. Though the idea and concept of a supreme being controlling the unexplainable was meant to satisfy the individual curiosity it was broadened and practiced as new ideas were added to it with progress of human civilization. Many with political insight used or rather abused it in binding together communities and creating religions with rigid rules ,dictates and customs. These have over the period of time affected human culture, history and development. I may not be wrong in saying that perhaps the divine idea of god has killed countless people and have lead to numerous wars and conflicts.

So the idea of god seem to have caused more problems than solutions. So is Atheism the answer to the world problems.. a system which relies on proven facts , experience and knowledge. Well I may not be the correct person to answer this for two reasons the primary one being that I am not too interested in solving world problems as the problem around makes the world worth living bringing out the best of human intellect and preventing us becoming lazy snobs. The second one is more personal that is my idea of my own god.

It will be a lie if I say that I don't pray and have always believed in my abilities. Living in this random world praying comes naturally to me. It is a separate story that I have always felt empowered after praying but there may not be anything divine in it. Now it is easy to blame religion for all the miseries it has brought but without political lust it is a wonderful collection of ideas and beliefs. It outlines experiences and intuitions of various individuals collected over a time. To me religion and god is an individual thought. I look at an Idol of god representing the power , knowledge, wealth and I believe they represent something which lies deep inside me. The idol, the manuscript and the holy book is just a tool for me to look inside myself to unleash it. When I fold my hands it is my respect to this ever present randomness around and to arouse in myself the power to move ahead. I have always believed that search for that mythical god starts from oneself. I have found a god but it is just mine.

Why do I love her?

She turned back and asked, " Why Do you love me? " She said, answer fast or you will be making up words and I know you do it very well. " Don't Think ", she was firm this time. Though I wanted to say something but I kept quiet looking into her deep eyes. I always looked at them when I am lost, tired, worried or sad. They had the zing to pep me up anytime. This time I wanted to ask her eyes to tell me, " Why I love her ?" She closed them and said no this time around you have to answer it from your Heart and I am no longer helping you out. It was tricky now and she wanted the answer. I hold her hand and drew her closer so she could hear my heart beat. I said,"Why don't you listen up for yourself". She smiled and her dark eyes just got bigger and she smilingly said,"How do I know if they are telling the truth" I said I don't know as it no longer talks to me. Its your for so long that I don't remember it being mine ever. I ...

Socialism and Individualism

I have discussed and debated at length about pros and cons of Socialism and Individualism with lots of people and have gained a lot from these conversations. I just want to summarize my views on these two contrasting systems. Individualism as a system emphasize on individual freedom, choice and reward over group laws and rules where as the socialism requires preference of social obligations over individual choice and freedom. Anyone can point out numerous flaws in both the systems in isolation but these two system can hardly survive of their own. It is the relative density of these two systems among cultures which decide its fate. We can observe various societies and nation states around the globe and conclude that political and social forces determine the density of either of the systems. Now the question arises what is a perfect mix for maximizing well being among all humans. If we increase individual or capitalistic pursuit we will have a free market society. This system will reward...
