HERE I AM!!

HERE I AM!!


I finally decided to start this blog. Probably because I can jot my views here, freely, without having to care about anyone, express the true myself. Because I don’t have someone with whom I can share it, because no one wants to discuss these things, if they discuss they become narrow-minded and stubborn, and they always try to prove that they are ‘right’ no matter what. So, I am left with no other option but to blog. I am happy; I am happy that I don’t have to care who is going to read my blogs. It’s your choice.


What am I going to discuss here? I think mostly it is going to be my life, my philosophy and my point of view about the topics that I am interested in. Philosophy and Psychology are two things which determine everything man does; from his beliefs to his actions. Philosophy determines what is right and what is wrong, explains why he should do what he is doing. And Psychology determines how a man thinks? The way he is brought up, the society he lives in decides the direction in which he thinks.


Yes, these two fields are what I am mostly interested in.


I changed over time. My philosophy has changed. It happens. Change is inevitable. We simply cannot stop it. I think, I question, I search for an answer, I learn and I change. This is how it happens. I am satisfied with the changes I encountered. I am better than what I was yesterday. I have no regrets for my mistakes. Because I never knew they were mistakes when I committed mistakes. There were incidents when I committed mistakes knowingly. But I punished myself for them and decided I will not repeat again. My beliefs changed. I used to firmly believe that there is a GOD who is supreme, and who can do magic as we are told by our parents and grandparents. Now I do not believe in that concept. But I do not regret that I believed so sometime back in the past. Because my conscience told I was right to believe so, then. And similarly my conscience now tells I am right in believing what I believe.


I have many unanswered questions. And I am in search of answers to these. Once I find, I might change again, getting better, strong than what I am today. Realizing the higher truth – that is what our life is. You always get better, you always find something new, you always reform yourself, and you always get more and more questions, answers. I do not think there is a person who can declare, ‘I know the truth! And it is the ultimate truth. There is nothing beyond it. There are no questions I cannot answer.’ If he says so, it merely indicates he stopped thinking. There is no such thing as ultimate truth. It is only the search of higher truth that we always look for. I know I will get thousands of questions related to this. But right now I am not ready to discuss that in this page. All I want to say is, my principles and my philosophy might change in future as and when I realize something new, the higher truth.


I want my life to be a never ending effort to achieve, a quest for truth, a fight against all falsehoods/misconceptions inside me and the society.
