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.

Honesty and Relationship

If you ask me what is the most single most important aspect that determines the fate of any relationship I can bet my ass on Honesty. Relationships are based on mutual respect and belief and when we are not honest with each other the relationship will not last for long. We may love the person with our heart but if we are afraid to speak the truth with that person then its not only disrespectful to that person but undermines the relationship. I understand when we start a new relationship we generally want to impress the other person with all our positive qualities and don't reveal everything about ourselves very quickly. I also agree as long as the other person is comfortable one does not have to bring up unfortunate events from the past. However once we are in a stable relationship one must be truthful to each other. We tend to lie to hide something and it indicates that we are afraid of something. Fear can have very bad effect on health of a relationship. It better to come out of ...

Morality..

Have you ever pondered why is morality necessary in life? Why our parents want us to be truthful, honest and humble. Why do we hate liars and hypocrites? Why there are numerous stories about the virtue of Good and how every time good wins over the evil in the long run. Are we good because there is an almighty god looking over us and we will be burnt in hell if we do something bad. Are people in general good because they are afraid of God. To me we are more good than evil because that is a logical thing to do. "Good" here i must emphasize symbolizes the greater good of our civilization and human race. It may be relative on an individual basis but on a macro scale being good or having all the positive qualities we hear about is logical and in fact very necessary for the very survival. Imagine a world where its OK to rob your neighbor and bring home their money and goods. With the same logic it should also be OK when one of our neighbors mugged us up. You can clearly visualize ...

Philosphy of mating

' Behind every great women there is a man...............checking out her ass .' I cannot agree more. Love Sex n Relationships are hotly read and debated topics and I have written about them in many of my previous posts. So whats new this time? Nothing much except that you can never write enough about them. I am not a relationship guru and I don't intend to be one so its just my take on things. When I talk about love in this post I just mean romantic love between couples so the deduction and inference may or may not hold for other relationships. Different Stages of Love 1) Attraction and lust - Romantic relationships starts with attraction. Well it may not be physical attraction only but couples get attracted to one quality or the other. We as humans have so many physical and personality traits which affect different people differently. Some one may find reading books a great hobby some one may just find it boring so relationship starts when one find the other attracti...
