Oh! Hamlet!

Oh Hamlet! How true! The tragedy of human life is not that man does not have a choise! Its simply that man can chose whether to be or not to be...
Why do we have the power to chose if we do not have the power over the consequences of the choises we make ...

Adam, Eve, Beliefs and Lies

Man’s desire to believe is ancient. Take for instance the case of Adam. For centuries Satan had been quite unjustly blamed for the fall of mankind. Rather than all the seduction inflicted upon Adam by Satan via Eve, it is his desire to believe that marked the origin of human sin.
The process of growing up is the process of conviction: a chain of sensation, perception, conception and conviction.
Man started believing the moment he came out from the womb. He started believing that separated from one shelter-he had found another, that separated from one world-he had another to fall back on, that there was hunger, there was cold, sweat, sound, touch, milk, smell and then, a human body he would be taught immediately, to call mother.

(And then there are lies...With time there comes another set of beliefs that proves a previous set of beliefs to be white lies...)

Islands and Sisyphus!

There are times when you feel like an island. You feel as if you are floating on an ocean, dark, deep, unfathomable, solitary and disjunct from everything else…And then you try to understand why you are floating in that ocean, what significance it has! Does it simply mean that you are an island or does it also mean that all human beings are islands! Why is it that you are still floating and have not drowned! What will happen if you drown, and cease to exist! Can you ever choose to drown? Do you float by choice?

Why Sisyphus? Why then push the heavy rock up the hill, climb and climb and climb only to let it roll down again even before you reach the peak?
