Truth & Fallacy

Lot many stories and philosophies have been said in defining the universal feeling called Love and lot many hearts ruled and ruined by its mighty hands.Its been there in the ageless epics... and as a good money fetcher to any film entrepreneur who makes us see our own lives in more eloquent and colorful way... and we buy our own stories because we see ourselves somewhere in the songs and rains... in the hurt and pains of the editor’s ink and pen.

Lets rise a bit higher and wake our lives to something more meaningful, and indeed more justified. We all have survived the sufferings and pains and have ostensibly evolved us to a greater level of hierarchy but still we continue to live ourselves like an ant in its colony. We are ruled by the Laws... rules not to say certain things... not to do lot of things for the benefit of our Society. We forsake the individuality to be a machine which switches to the OR and AND GATES of society. We curb ourselves... the good and the bad... to be more acceptable and sociable; for the fear of getting rejected is there somewhere deep within. We all, as human bodies have same laws of biological survival, mind and heart, chemical reactions for growth, maintenance ruling us. Then what is it that sets us apart, what about our individuality when each every one of us is ruled and governed by the cycle of birth... growth and death. Someone rightly said that our individuality is nothing but choices we make... but does our choice and goodwill lie in being ruled by the norms of a fickle society which defines right and wrong for us,. Agreed that we shouldn’t hurt someone in any small way by our reasons and thoughts, but the question is far beyond that..!! Shouldn’t we live our life to the fullest before succumbing to inevitable darkness?

Our dreams testify the desires and thoughts of our subconscious mind, numbed to any artificial rules and laws of society. We feel free in our dreams, but then we wake each single day to be tamed by the unjustifiable norms. Its not a rebel writing this, but a person striving to make some life out of this mechanical daily routines..!! But then it’s a long long way to go before we evolve to this deeper level of harmony and to have said truly lived our lives before I succumbed to the Eternity.

Kudos...A very sharp observation indeed. Human benings sacrifice because they can not bear the pain that my come to them if they do not sacrifice...true.

"When Buddha offered his head instead of a goat to be slaughtered his pain at seeing the goat die was far greater than his joy of survival."

How many people in the world can feel a greater joy when they are getting beheaded instead of a goat? How many people in the world can be that much selfish?

According to me sacrifice does exist but unfortunately in the present world we have to add the adjective "true" to give a real meaning of it. "Take my head instead of the goat's" - what a true sacrifice. "I bought a shirt for my dad with the money I saved to buy CDs for me" - just a sacrifice.

May be the selfishness of not able to bear the pain itself is called a sacrifice.
