Off-Beat

This is based on a TRUE conversation.
It is a everyday scene in the workplace, us sharing talks on everything under the blue and the white sky. The discussions are all extempore and tends stray away from the context.
On one such day in a midst of a conversation, a colleague dropped in with a human skull and began to pour out the expertise on the subject ...the process, the procedures, the need, the uses, identifying the good from the bad, its consequences, dos and don't, etc .... He was towards the end with his experience with the skull proving it to be a great piece in hand. The ending was the highlight, a dramatic spin of the skull on the floor a couple of times pointing out the technicalities to supplement his statement on the skull.
Everybody was in a AWE state, but I had a question out of curiosity, the question was blunt. I had to ask, and I did ask  but presented in a statement, "Our religion and none others promote thievery...." There was no explanation and avoided my say in a laugh...
That day, I created chaos in the minds.

Contradictions

"Good things come to those who wait", is a contradictory statement to, "Try and try until you succeed"  These statements were made and co-existed in the same space and time. I will not be wrong to suggest that there are more, many more of it.

I was, am and  will be confused, of the great minds of the past, present and the future.
Events may occur once - a couple of times - several times and all the time but we cannot term it be a pattern. I have absolutely seen no pattern in this world, rather it to me seems ... are ways to cover the failure  of an individual, the community and the world at large ...
My say is, WILL IT WORK FOR ALL MANKIND? It is a rhetorical question for all. That is the realization I end up with.
Everything, in this age should come with a POSTSCRIPT, stating ... subject to Contradictions...

Breaking Stereotype

Who is the Puppeteer?

Humans love rules, they make it, live and die with it. From cradle to grave, the world presents to us, what I would describe as … a controlled freedom environment to live in.

The rule that stands out to be common in all is the earning of merit, more the better.

 Nobody is an exception and so am I. It had occurred to me a couple of times, but did not give a serious thought to it. The accumulation of merit is relatively easier on the auspicious days, it tends to multiply, but, it comes with statutory warning,  … the sins too will compound …In competition with the merit seekers in hustle and bustle,  you are tagged more in the later.

I see, it was propaganda for good.

But, it is failing now…

Life as I understand ...

What is Life? Life is a Lie.
I will have no fear to embrace death, if, and only if, the definition of death is, ... a state of sleep without dreams, absolutely no dreams at all....
The truth about Life is, the stories of afterlife making it painful. To live life is to be imprisoned in an open with unknown numbers of CCTV Cameras. Every move of yours is monitored and you will be convicted in your life in afterlife. The history shows that, people are living this life preparing for the life afterlife, the life after that and goes on and on ...
The fact is simple, unlike all other organisms we do have the same purpose in life, that is, we are here to reproduce, making sure the mankind survives.
Are we doing it Right!
