From time unknown,Man has been questioning his existence.
He has been forever trying to find his origin.
Yet,even centuries later,the quest remains incomplete.And like everybody else,I am curious too
I don't know if there is a specific reason we all exist.It could just be the game of a superior intellect.There was a time when we thought ourselves to be string puppets at the hands of the creator.The strings break, the game over.Today can't we relate the idea to an Xbox or Playstation game.The string may be invisible.The game however is controlled by the Player outside.The time expires,and the game is over for the actor inside.Tomorrow as we conquer greater avenues of wisdom,perhaps a novel explanation would arise.
Scientists fervently are searching for that God-particle which actually gives life.Today science can create everything, except life.Robots can be made to look like and do things as perfectly as any living being.Yet,what is that differentiates them from us?The spark of life!
Can we ever create that invisible yet prevailing inexplicable screen called soul??
In this search for that ultimate truth are we actually privying???
Let us assume science(or God?) actually gives life to what we call the robots,then are we actually paving way for the next stage of evolution.From neandarthals to apes to homosapiens and then to robots?Is it then, the part of a greater design??
Are we then the Creator or the creations??
We can never be the Creator,it could only be our thoughts or intellect.Perhaps a part of that superior intellect manifests in each of His creations.

All Izz Well
Good things happen to good people.
This is an adage I've heard often.
And it had me doing things which I judged to be good so that I'd be good and good things would happen to me.
However,I could find no changes in the way 'things' were.
Life just went on as usual,bringing in its wake, both pleasantnesses and unpleasantnesses.
Then I read somewhere that expecting good things to happen to good people is like believing a lion not to eat you because you are a vegetarian!
Now!!Was I confused.
Somehow,I don't beleive that either of the above sayings is more credible than the other.
To me both are true.
You cannot expect good returns unless you have worked for them.Miracles don't just happen as such.You reap only that which you have sown.
And the best thing I have noticed in good people is their attitude.Let the sky fall upon them,they remain unfazed.Troubles,difficulties the terms merely don't exist for them.All izz always well for them!!

Facing fears
What is the greatest inhibition on our way to winning our desires.
Fear, I would say.
We are all scared of something or the other,right?
We all have fears of varying degrees for various things.
And how can we win over fear.
The best,or perhaps the only,way I would say,will be to face it.
Face your worst fears.Don't run away from them.
Easier said or blogged than done,I know.
Might not be a great example but here is a tiny incident which will definitely give me the power punch next time a fear holds me back.
I had always been scared to ride a vehicle.I knew how to ride.I had confidence I could ride well and I even had a license.Still,a very weak twine from within always held me back.Then,one fine day, with some encouragement and support, I managed to take my 2 wheeler out.It went fine.I thought it raised my confidence level.But the fear had been stll lurking inside and it manifested as recurring nightmares.Every night I would see one or the other images of me and my Activa falling down.Somehow I would force myself to give one more try the next day.And one day,as if reliving my nightmares,I actually fell with the vehicle.I still remember how i felt.It was exactly the same fear I had in my nightmares.I knew if I let that fear win this time I would never touch a vehicle again.I gave it a shot again and yes it did help a lot.My fear has subsided greatly.And I can be sure of it by the decreased frequency of my nightmares!
Sometimes, a simple incident like this becomes an eye opener when thought about deeply.May be the rules can be applied elsewhere too.
