I know it is a difficult topic to understand but trust me its equally difficult for me to assimilate my thoughts and write on it. Well, to start with, what we see is what we believe is truth, and our senses and brain refrain us from accepting anything beyond that as truth, that is our perceptive truth. But there are things which our human mind fails to understand and then we call them our fallacies or myths, and at a gross stage a person can be termed as schizophrenic or these experiences can be termed as one's hallucinations. Here friends, that's our perceptive truth; we don't believe,and don't even want to believe, the things we don't see. Without giving it a thought, that for the person who is experiencing it is the "truth", his perceptive truth. The person who is schizophrenic, is seeing actual people (at least according to him) around him, is leading another life which is beyond a normal (so-called) person's understanding, so is a "disorder" for him. May be a person who is schizophrenic or hallucinating is actually seeing a distant world away from commoner's eyes. May be it is not his disorder but our disability to see what his eyes can see. What is real for him, his perceptive truth, is unreal for us because our senses can't perceive it. Our demarcation of truth and fallacies is very superficial like our lives are. We can believe in God, whom we haven't seen and yet believe in him and on top of that, we rebuke a person who doesn't believe in him. On the contrary, we rebuke a person who is hallucinating, at least he is believing the things he can see, what if a commoner can't see it and society hasn't accepted it.
So, just because something is perceived through mind and senses doesn't mean its real, the truth. One's truth can be different from the truths of others. For instance, an urban person would see a technological device as something scientific , that is his truth as he has studied it and accepted it. Whereas a rural person might consider it some divine power or magic as his mind and senses have not accepted science but divinity as his Truth. So here we see, even Truth is not constant it varies from person to person, religion to religion and civilization to civilization. At times even our truths are not our own. Take for example, people are scared of ghosts, well knowing that they do not exist, but its their truth as their minds have accepted it to be there. But in reality its not the ghost they are scared of, it is the darkness and loneliness that one is scared of. We don't even know what we believe truth is, so how could we claim our right to define what truth is. Same can be implied to real and unreal, reality and fantasy & also good and bad. There are times when we see a dream and it seems as if its real and we have lived it but our rational mind shuns it as unreal and "oh, just a dream!". May be that wasn't a dream but some astral experience or something far more complex to be explained by our human-mind. Even real and virtual has a thin line. There are times, when we tell a lie hundred times and start believing it and living it, (try thinking about such experiences, its natural and happens with most of the people if not everyone) there the thin line between real and virtual or unreal is dissolved. As we say - Its just in our mind!!
I could not think of a good ending to this topic as now I am confused between what is a beginning and an ending, a beginning could also be an ending and an ending can also be a beginning. phewww....
JUST A THOUGHTI don't understand why people are so hypocrite. Why they prohibit others to do something which they themselves would try out if given chance, say for eg going to a strip club. It is, indeed, very difficult to understand a human mind and how it works, very complex and yet intriguing. Nobody is able to derive conclusions or set a standard theory about it, showing its diversified nature. Is it jealousy or true concern on the part of our so called "loved ones" to shun us from doing something unconventional. Our lives are woven around them, an emotional bonding, which leaves one impaired if its not there, atleast I think so . But does it give us any strength to try the extraordinary or takes away the chance , a moment of our own personal growth. And that too just because of their conventional preconcieved opinions. Is it right to categorize things as right or wrong based on their prejudices or to try out and then decide for oneself?? The question remains unanswered. Why we deprive our loved ones a chance to explore their rights and wrongs on their own. Why people renounce a family member if he/she does something outrageous, unconventional, against the "society norms"??? The thought bothers me. When would we actually grow up, and like mature people give each other a chance to discover our own rights and wrongs. Even our scriptures say so, " There is nothing as good or bad on this earth. Its the intention behind them which defines them." Why can't we simply follow the rule and let ourselves and others dive into the pleasure of doing something which we have abstained ourselves from doing for long or have surreptitiously done it sometime.Our basic worry is the rejection, being disowned by society, or family in general. Is it worth brooding over??? Is it so difficult to stay away from all but to lead our lives on our own terms?? Even I am yet to explore it. Deep Sighhhh.......!!!!!
This moment:
Like a dew drop
on a flower petal;
This moment:
Past has no reason to visit
here,
future can not assault
here;
Only this moment:
Sparkling like a sunray,
on a dew drop;
(though small)
Proudly standing,
imparting beauty
to the whole world.
During all ups & downs of life, You’ll always find something holding you tight. How much worse the condition seems, Always fight it with a gleam. And one day you’ll realize: True winning is loosing with a smile. So in actual you wont find yourself a looser, but a winner to conquer your own success…..
Look at the dark sky outside, Moon gleaming like lava spouting from volcano; Primitive,powerful and yet poetic. Wind tantalizing deep emotions; Emotions provoking the need to be loved and cared. The dark sky so full of mystery, as if it has something to hide. So truthful yet so mysterious; Like a drop of tear falling from the eyes of a bride, Arousing mixture of emotions of happiness and sorrow. Happiness of beginning a new life, Sorrow of loosing the ties of the past, Night promising a better day ahead; but marking the end of the wonderful day which has passed…
I first met Death one cool Spring night
While watching shadows grow.
And though she was a lovely sight,
I did not want to go.
I next saw Death one summer's day
With sun so high at noon.
And though she had sweet words to say,
I thought the time too soon.
I then felt Death in Autumn's chill
When all the dead leaves sigh.
And though this meeting was a thrill,
I found the cost too high.
I left with Death one winter's morn
With no time left to stall.
And like the day this soul was born,
I felt no pain at all.
