Religion!!!!Is It Relevant???

Religion is a big and heavy word. When we say religion, when we talk about religion, when we preach we believe it cleanses our soul or atleast it is what it's supposed to do. Religion unites people.Religion gives power.
Now time for some harsh words. God if you do exist, i've heard you are merciful one.
Yes religion unites people , but against whom , no doubt against people of another religion. Religious hatred has given the world the longest lasting war ever : the Crusade(some people call it 'Holy' crusade). Religious fanatics waged war throughout the history of mankind...........still today.The world has seen religious extremism of christian europian countries in the middle ages, and its experiencing muslim fundamentalism still now. Yes we have developed from outside but from inside we are still fanatic stone-age barbarian. Religion makes us a flock of sheep or maybe at times a flock of raging bull, and people are exploited to destroy each other only for the gain or simple whim of a few.
I know what you people are thinking of...these are examples of fanatic fundamentalists who no doubt are to be blamed rather than the religoin itself.........But the point of writing this blog is as a human being we must change...we cannot resist a change no matter how much we try. Once our ancestors ate raw meat and sometimes even each other. But we learned to be social and perhaps we are learning everyday. Religion has evolved too. Once it was a sin punishable to death to say the earth goes around the sun, as it was anti-bible. the stern and to me utter meaningless ritual and customs of every religion worldwide are evolving to cope up with the evolving modern mind of today's people......And who knows perhaps one fine day people won't be divided into different races, colours and religoin......and the so called age old customs will be left behind.
What I believe is that the aim of every religion is to make people rational and with this came the disciplines and customs. Rationality doesn't come with religion only , especially in world of today and religoin can make people irrational too.......as we see today. Only time will decide whether religion will win the war against its misconceptions and misinterpretations........if it wins its OK....if it doesn't I believe it has to go just like the many age old practices and rituals that have died with time.

Times We Are Living In

I've been always wondering how it would have been had we been born in any other time than this. Its a kind of romantic idea that maybe gave me a high. Imagine being born in late 60's in US, and experiencing the social as well as musical changes along with the anti-vietnam war movement, rock revolution, WoodStock'69. Or maybe living during the industrial revolution in Europe , and the renaissance period. Or maybe the second World War europe.
The point is , I believed the best time to be born is when the society is undergoing a drastic change, so much so that the surrounding you are born in is utterly different than the society at time of your death.Beliving this thought I always hated this time we are all living, to me it was so monotonous and secure, settled and maybe predictable.
But now I think maybe I was wrong.
History is not made overnight, every day adds and leads to a change, whether the change is gonna happen in near future or not, you just can't rule out the role of a single day, which certainly we do.
The time we are living in is very significant concidering anything and everything. Especially being born in a big country like India we are in fact witnessing a country on a move , for good or worse that's again an another topic of discussion, our economy is growing (supposedly) , our middle class has been pushed up to upper middle class segment, every people we come across has a cell phone, we have cybercafes at remote villages, for the first time in our nation's history we are put forward as an industry based country.
Yes , personally too I've seen some changes, changes in connectivity, changes in weather pattern , changes in atmosphere. A glacier we had trekked in '98 in western sikkim vanished when we went there again in '06, only to find it out 500 metres receded. All of us has seen changes , but sometimes maybe we ignore it.
We are living at a threshold of change, a change so diverse and diffused that any one of us may not absorb the whole of it , just wait and see, and I believe the times we were born will be very different from the time of our death.
That's why I don't have any regrets to be born in this turbulant times.

Terror Today

So what exactly does the word terror stand for? Is it a tool developed by the system to exploit on the ruins of its subjects? Is it a weapon to make us feel scared? Is it a part of global plot to let unrest be alive within us?

What do we exactly mean by terrorism? Is it a alien term? I guess not. We are all grown up in an environment of terror. Remember your school days where you were afraid to be punished and / or humiliated and terrified you did what you didn't want to. The system itself uses terror as a tool to ensure its smooth functioning. What is the point of punishment to a guilty, not only its aim is to bring the criminal to justice but also and more importantly to make it clear to all its subjects that this kind of activity is not approved by the system and so be scared of the punishment.
What the world is facing today is Unexpected terrorism, ya its unexpected to the system we live in also, thats why it is also in fact scared of it.
As a system it is supposed to provide security to us in exchange of our free will, system gives us stability. But look at the fallout of our system, actually its nothing but a group of people living together under a reinforced law manipulated by a handful of our fellow mates for the benefit of a few, a framework which itself runs on terror cannot fight terror.

Stop pretending now.....Step out of your mind....get the bigger picture where there's no virtual lines drawn by selfish human beings.....implement policies that benefit the mass.....stop terrorising with system-sponsored terrorists like policemen.......Let us live free...Live long....Without Fear....Say NO to terrorism......Say YES to pro-mass revolution.
