Paradox of Misery.

The world is full of paradoxes, more than that it is full of misery. Misery way beyond the comprehension of the ordinary man. That is the paradox. The small joys and wonders that we run after will surely come to an end as soon as the mind retrieves from that. But you would have conditioned your mind in a way that it wants it again. What if you dont get it or it doesnt give you the same joy it used to? The misery starts. This can be applied for all the material possessions in the world. The world has a set of laws and no one can transgress it. But it is foolish to term it as fate and relax a bit. Your fate is in your own hands.

Consider the case of a pregnant woman. Her family will rejoice. All of them will be carried away by the same fact. This is indeed very nice and it should be that way. But what if, by the oddest of chances they turn out to be unsuccessful parents? Every child is unique and some may take a whole life time to understand certain characters of a son or a daughter. Bad parenting is one such example where we think that we gave the children what they need but mostly we will be giving what they want. This line of demarcation, the difference between need and want, should be drawn by the parent way before the child is born. If the parent has not provided the child with this logic, then the child will definitely be in turmoil all throughout his or her life.Who is to be blamed? Another paradox. Neither the child nor the parent can be blamed fully. It is a dreadful state both of them arrive at.

The world is so full of beauty on the other side. We are responsible for our own actions. Our present is decided by our past. If we want to better our future then we must work on our present. The conscious choices that we make in our lives should be governed by morality. The foundation for good strong moral values in our lives should come from our parents. Ultimately you are responsible for your state of affairs. Choose wisely. Be your own master. Master the mind and be free. The one who has mastered his or her mind has reached the ultimate consciousness. He or she will not be perturbed by material possessions.

Salutations to all.

    Good or bad parenting, after a certain age the burden falls on the individual. We make a simple life complicated by creating paradoxes for ourselves, the biggest source being hypocrisy. Read "The Terrorist's Son: A Story of Choice" by Zak Ebrahim. And, good writing, keep it coming.

Imagination.

The world, we imagine it to be real. But we need strong imagination to thrive on. Imagination is the linchpin of success. People who have strong imagination tend to be successful in their lives. Take up an idea and make that idea your whole life[sic.]. The power of the mind is so intense that your idea, if imagined to be very strong will be manifested in some form or the other. People say don't be selfish, but selfishness to an extend is needed in the present world. If you become successful, share it, because you cannot claim to have reached heights only by yourself. Have gratitude and supply for the needy. If you do good, good will always have a way of coming back to you. It might not be from the same person but from a different person in a different form it will always find you. A pure mind devoid of all negativity will do only good things. That is real beauty. External appearance may define a person to an extent but inside matters the most. If you can be good and do good at t

Supernatural

I have just finished watching "The Conjuring" and they claim it to be a true story. I don't want to appear skeptical and say that its not. It would be a total disrespect for the efforts of the exorcists both abroad and inside the country. So that leaves us with a question. Does God and the devil exist? No would be the answer. I am not being self contradictory by making such a statement. 'Isha Vasyam Idam Sarvam' This is the very first verse of The Ishavasya Upanishad, which means cover up the whole universe in terms of GOD. So the whole world becomes god and even the devil will be god. If you completely understand this concept, then its unnecessary to read all the scriptures, but sadly this cannot be explained more that this as it is to be experienced and not told, which is impossible. Then what are these supernatural occurrences?  I wouldn't say that it is god, indeed it is the devil. But one thing that we must understand is the power of our minds. The mi

Pirates of The Caribbean

The idea of the character named Jack Sparrow got into me the moment I watched him on the screen. All the five movies in my opinion are top notch. In light of the recently released  movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", I would like to point out a few things which I noticed. This tale gives us the details on how Jack Sparrow became "Captain" Jack Sparrow. The moment he was conferred upon with this title, we can see his amazing 'spontaneous plans' in action. I use this term to indicate that his maneuvers are a mixture of both luck and grace. The idea behind jack's character to me, seems as though they are trying to say that, even a really skilled man can be given such a derogatory term as that of a pirate. But Jack always is "drunk, with a smile on his face". The film takes up multiple issues like religion, role of science, contemporary English society, Gender and so on. This film critiques the religion for not accepting
