Importance of Silence !
I am a living being.
So I must be alive.
My mother gave me birth, but she made my body with the help of my father.
But who gave me life?
Was it from the DNA I got from both my parents?
Obviously not my father nor my mother designed my DNA?
So was it my parents, or was it the DNA that made me?
But who designed this DNA that provided the blueprint to make me a
living being?
Was it God? Or was it evolved from a monkey DNA?
Or was it , just a consequence of a random mutation .. or was it
evolution from non-living-matter?
But how life can come from something that has no life?
May be it is possible, just like males are born from females.
Like smoke is coming from a fire,
Like fire is coming from fuel.
May be it is not possible for non-living things to produce life.
Then in that case , who designed life?
Was it God?
Then who made this God?
Was it another older God who made this child God?
Was the name of this another older God, nature? But does the nature think?
And was the rules by which nature made God, called science or was it
using religious doctrines or was it by magic or was it just
coincidence of random events?
I am a living being.
And I have never seen the God who might have made me.
And I have never heard Him say anything to me.
All I have heard about God, is what others say to me about God.
They claim that what they say is true.
But what is the basis of their claim?
Are they capable of proving what they say ?
If they are not capable of proving what they say, do they have any
moral right to command me to believe in what they believe ?
Have they have any first hand experience about God?
Or are they also just as ignorant as me, but just pretending to be wise?
With out any first hand experience about God, should I believe in God,
hearing what others say to me, with just faith to back what they say,
and no scientific proof about the say to me?
Or should I believe in God just because most of the people in this
planet believe in one God or the other ?
Is a belief in God necessary as a psychological defense mechanism to
think irrationally at times, to cope with un-favorable situations in
life?
Is a belief in God necessary to have courage, confidence and optimism
which are essential things to be successful in life.
Just because a belief in God is necessary to be successful in life, is
it a valid reason enough to start believing in God, though you know
that you don't know whether what you believe is correct or wrong ?
I am a living being.
Just because I am a living being is it necessary that there should be
some purpose in my life?
What ever purpose I might choose in life, is it necessary that it
would be significant for anyone except me ?
Is any purpose in life, important only to me , a worthwhile purpose ?
What should be my motive to continue living ?
Is it to enjoy the love of the people I love.
Is it to enjoy the love of the people who love me ?
Is it to deserve the love of people whom I love ?
Or is it giving and taking love the only purpose of my life?
Is loving, in itself a great motive to live ?
If so am I wasting my life ?
Since love is perishable.
Since people who you love are perishable.
If love in itself can't be a great motive in life, what else can be a
great motive to live ?
Should I live life to enjoy the pleasures life has got to offer ?
Should I live to make a lot of money, and to enjoy all the pleasures
and security money can offer ?
Or should I live to have a great sex life ?
Or should I live just for my family, to have a beautiful, intelligent
wife, to have as many kids as possible, and work hard the rest of
my life , trying to satisfy every needs of my wife, my kids, my
parents and my relatives.
Or should I live for the well being of my nation?
How can I devote my life to my nation when I know that there are lot
of things in my nation that I am not proud of.
Or should I try to devote my life to improve the living conditions of
living beings at large, by harnessing the power of science and
technology.
Is it prudent to devote your life to some grand vision like this, when
the probability to achieve this is very low.
Will my life be worth while , if I strive hard my entire life, and
fail to achieve my goal.
Will it be more nobler than not trying at all ?
Or should I be like everyone and try to achieve happiness in enjoying
life by watching cricket, raising a family, watching movies and so on
?
Or should I stop thinking about life, and try not to have any single
grand purpose in life, and just concentrate on doing what ever I feel
is the right thing to do at a particular moment.
If I decide to stop thinking about my life, is there anything that
differentiates me from the animals ?
If I don't don't think and plan my life, am I living a human life ?
If I don't think am I doing justice to my faculty of thinking?
Is there any point in planning about life, when I know that I don't
have much control over my own life.
Is there any point in planning about life, when I don't know for how
many days I might live on the surface of this planet.
Is there any point in planning about life, when any random bomb in the
bus station, any accident, any disease, any other act of violence can
result in my sudden unexpected death which would also kill all the
dreams I have about my life.
Should I remain silent, knowing that there is such great threat to my
precious life, because of the incompetent people who rule me and my
nation?
Should I remain silent, because if I start protesting these same
incompetent people who rule me and my nation can very easily kill me,
there by ruining all my dreams and ambitions about life?
Should I remain silent, just because remaining silent and trying to
get on with my life is the best thing that I can do to protect my
life, and thus to give myself a better chance of realizing my dreams
in my life time?
