Truths -
I was thinking about beliefs - belief systems - truths - reality - illusion. I still got a hangover from Taare Zameem Par.
When I was child - I used to get headaches. My mom used to categorically reject that kids under 15 never get headaches. I used to be appalled - shocked but confused - it is MY mom who is saying I am not having the ache;. Of course I used to get 'stomach ache' when I had exams - you know what I mean...and I would be equally shocked how come she just believes me! Talk about confusions. Well later - my dad discovered I was myopic and got me glasses.
(On second thoughts, I should add - that we use our 'discretion' depends on how much we can afford our 'self')
Truths - I am a believer. I believe everything anyone says. I am trusting with their trust. I accept everything - I hardly 'fight' - unless I am offended which is unacceptable to ME - I don't buy into everything just because I accept.
(I buy into things, that I believe in - that I understand - that I can afford to give myself to, there are very few truths - which are actually so fake and I see the truth of the fakeness - that makes me a very serious person - but I goof around - I am very crazy too, some know me here - well enough, guess they will understand)
I don't buy into beliefs but I believe there has to be a reason - even if I don't "understand". Does that confuse you? Hope not.
Some things are ambiguous - truths are ambiguous. Some I can handle, some I can't - some I can live with, some I can't - knowing which is what, makes it easier to deal with - well the process of knowing sometimes kills me. I am worrier, I am a digger - I have this 'itch' to understand. I don't stop. Well mine is a different kind ;))
It doesn't bother me if someone understands or not, me - because I understand where they come from. It is like I can 'see' me in their eyes (guess I wrote in 'Who are you' blog )
But now, I am wondering why people don’t believe?
What is it that they are SO bothered about believing, when one acts or says certain things/way(s)? What is the problem to let it be? Why do we - have to fight - or question - or retaliate (here I am asking msyelf too )
There are things which are above or below our scope of 'life' - you know we can 'handle' only so much at one point of time. Sometimes it does overflow - and we get all over the place (I do sometimes) and when I recognize it I gather myself together.... but some gets lost. I see that and I worry.
Worry doesn’t take me anywhere. But brought me here
Why won’t people just believe. There is no cost - nothing to lose - nothing to change.
Just believe -have faith - let it be. (Not do anything about it...just be and let others be)
Why not? Is that so hard?
Care to explain?

Trust but verify
Life is full of dualities
Day Night
Hot Cold
Youth Aged
Rich Poor
Life itself is dual
With Death on the other side
Ultimately everything will turn out to be two sides of the same coin
That is why decision-making is so easy for the gambling-instinct and so dreaded by the analytic
On the other hand,people have their own inner worlds,when they speak they speak from their experience,speaking itself is an act of describing the pictures in their mind,so they speak their reality and you have to believe them,if you want to be believed about your world,
To trust or not to trust
That is the question
One of life's main purpose is to search for answers
Well,keep searching
Wish you the best in your journey of exploration

Thanks Dagny :) Thanks for thinking out loud in words here :) Your comment make me laugh out loud :)) Your take on making a clone - yea, true. It's a high I suppose to make some one be just like us - other than our own kid.
thanks for being here :))

Meera,
You are simply amazing... What a intrinsic key issue you have dug out to be sure.. Now I am wondering why I never thought of these things so conciously.... so coherently... so in WORDS.
But then you did which is good enough... its like you took up the slack for me...
Why dont people just let be? How can they? They have this deep seated urge to whittle everyone into thier own shape. Havent you seen the assidiousness with which people try to mould everyone else around them? Its like they promised GOD they will produce thier own clones on earth to justify the life they have been given.... or burn in eternal hell...
The utter desperate-ness of their effort leaves me to think this way. Its a life thretening situation for them if you have thoughts... or thought processes... different from thier own. And so they deny all realities other than thier own... They do this because perhaps they think that by denying your reality... they can invalidate your belief system... which will bring them one step closer to make a clone out of you.
Are you confused? I am sure you are not.... you are as whacky as I am...
Loved this piece.... made me think a bit....
And then I love an opportunity to pontificate...
Cheers,
Dagny

Thats an interesting take Santosh.
Love and 'worthy' cause to hurt others and who say things about kid.
It is all relative - what it *really* means - isn't it - to us personally. how it affects us or benefits us. for that we got to know ourselves first. believe in our self - and question and assess whatever comes our way...world out there throws things at us all the time. instead of questioning others and others motives - which leads us to follow others. Which is actually quite exhausting. (if it matches with what we want/believe then its bliss)
The topic is getting diluted in my mind... :)
thanks for your input

i donno. 'Believe' is such a strong word. Would you believe every guy who said he loved you? Or who wanted you to join his 'worthy' cause which involved hurting others? Or someone who told you that your kid was bad ? (lets say it was a misunderstanding)

Dear Meera,
Civilisation would not have progressed thus far had all our ancestors blindly believed in all and sundry.Questioning beliefs has led to the development of man and mankind.THINK,INTERPRET,ACT,REFLECT AND THEN BELIEVE.
NEW YEAR WISHES,
VIJAY.

hmm... I question a lot - everything. I believe... uniless I believe that there are answers and that I cannot question them - so I believe then find them out. Most answers are absolutely absurd. It is all about absurdity, then it makes me feel at ease... . laugh it off.

I have this necessity to question everything ..... i mean everything ... i don't know why .... but it's there . ...and it's subconcious . ... I agree with what you say though and I am really trying to follow what you have just said .... I hope I can do that ...
