We might never be able to complete the picture but we should not stop joining the dots. When dots are converted to curves, we move a dimension up.

Absolute kindness is a utopian disaster.

SINS

If God has given us the capacity to commit 'sins', then isn't it a shortcoming in his/her creation and not the fault of our actions?

Or maybe there are no sins at all.

Brain'Wash'

A child is born in a family; not by his choice but rather by his fate: an act between individuals. This choice may become a subject of debate but it doesn’t seem to happen. After all the argumentators are themselves not the ‘product of choice’. Thus there are ideological caveats since the inception of one’s life which in turn leaves a void in development of an absolute perspective. As life progresses, these complications also develop and broadens the scope of deceptive manipulation.

A child is greatly affected by the value system prevailing in the immediate surrounding. He (could also be she, but since I am male) accepts them without a proper reason as the immediate value system lacks the idea of rational reasoning. He was brain’washed’ with thoughts; again without a choice. However, in early days it wasn’t a problem as the concept of choice was beyond the child. But as his interactions expanded, the dilemma of choice crept in. It was an easy choice though. The child couldn’t decide the better of the two owing to his lack of reasoning and not venturing into an unknown territory seemed to be wiser choice to him.

It was only a matter of time. His encountered many brain’washers’ trying to influence him, each with their own ideas (and probably propaganda). To say that he always reasoned his way out amidst this would be outrageously optimistic. He was influenced but since there were just so many influences that nothing could brain’wash’ him completely. And this is the state of mind in which a significant part of the population exists.

Long story cut short. This all continued till he discovered the value of self-reasoning and thereon saw a massive shift in his ideologies. He understood the methods of “brain’wash’” often used as a tool of propaganda. He had developed an open-minded attitude to life events and everything seemed to be in sync with rational beliefs. In short things are good.

Every tale need not end on a happy note and neither does this ends deep in pessimism. It just gets looped; looped around cycle of delusions, apparently having no answers.

And while he was completely convinced that he could no longer be brain’washed’ , a simple thought occurred to him causing his beliefs to get stuck in a limbo, “Have I been trying to get rid of some disease that every living creature must suffer from? Have I been target of some propaganda? Have I been successfully brain’wash-ed’?”

There is absolutely nothing wrong in being judgemental as long as the judgement is not a hasty conclusion.

We must not be bothered much by the weight of our expectations because ultimately we shall get just a small fraction it.

In "seemingly-intense" cases of decision-making wherein "emotions" run high, even a "multi- level-possible verdict" ends up becoming a "binary verdict" owing to a generalised tendency of the people to have their opinions floating to the either extremes. However requirement of such an "intensity" is never validated.
