"The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for"
Love has Hope
Of all human emotions these two are known to have the deepest impact over life of people. Love is the most important thing in life and often said to be priceless. And for some it's a business of billion trillions & may be zillions.
Ever thought why people buy life insurance policies. Apart from the tax saving benefits the purpose it serves is to pay to your near one, when you actually die. Well it's a well known fact that the spirits (if exist) do not have any bonding emotions. So do you really think why you shell out money when u could never really use it?? Some may say it's the fear which drives us to do such thing .In-fact some psychologist claims that two basic things which drives human is "Fear & Greed ". May be true but what it seems to me it's the love which arises in form of duties which we are willing to complete even when we are not on the earth
The whole ARCHIES product chain supplies only one thing- Love (Expressed in form of cards, gifts, accessories which one will never buy for oneself but will sacrifice any amount of money for his loved one). So our love is making Archie's richer day by day. No Doubt the whole series of televisions advertisement uses this principle to reach deeper in consumers by using Love as ingredient.
So be it " सुरक्षित पानी हर माँ की जिम्मेदारी है " to sell aqua purifiers or " टेढा है पर मेरा है " ads to sells Kurkure -all reflects love . This broad level Love utilization factors involve even those who are yet to find their loves and they may do it by watching TV i.e. "दिल तितली सा " ads by Bharti Airtel . For them love means money by people for whom love is priceless.
Love exists as basic nature of which all human beings. In fact the need theories depicts that after satisfying the survival needs of human the next level of needs comprises of Love . It's an important point worth noticing that Love or sense of belongingness comes even before the self esteem needs (please refer to the diagram of most accepted theory of need i.e. Maslow hierarchy of needs )
In fact with the evolution of human civilization the things which kept intact the human species was its ability to live in groups and show signs, activities and emotions which bonded them. The groups or tribes which used violence as its basis for survival (for example tribes which practised cannibalism) have lower life expectancy than those of normal cooperation based tribes.
So it's well established by now that love is a good thing and having it means you have an environment which is positively stimulating. People respond to emotion whether good or bad. So when you greet a person, under normal circumstance the person will respond you in the very same manner. But now arises one basic question if we are such lovely species then why
1. We kill each other in name of religion while the basis of each religion is said to be love?
2. We have wars among countries which is nothing but group of people divided by boundaries?
3. We have discriminate division of wealth and there is fight to acquire that wealth?
4. Why the rate of failures in love marriages is more compared to arranged marriages while the basis of love marriages seemed to be love?
5. Why people in same religion kill each other in name of caste, race etc?
Well the above problem provided me a platform to think whether or not Love can solve all these problems. Off course love binds but it blinds too. Love certainly carries hope but misguided hope may prove disastrous. For example a person may blindly love and follow his god but when he is misguided to think that god will be only pleased if he kills people of other religion then it's a disaster. Our ability to think, logically percept things makes us the best and worst of all species.
So we would try to separate the shades of grey from Love and make it as it was –Pure and Alive
Every civilization always have three basic constituents as it's factors of existence
a) Religion
b) Economics
c) Politics (Administration )
Love in Religion: All religion in the world preaches Love and Coexistence. Then incidents like Godhara Kand force us to think why people kill each other in the name of faith. the one very basic things associated with all these mishaps is Misguided minds , Minds which are made insecure. They are falsely made to believe that other religion may harm their existence. And these minds in love of their people carry a hatred for other without any basis. These people are used by deviants of society who use them to full fill their personal motives. So Love as such never harms people but the insecurity does which deals with existence issues. So with proper exposure to love we may expect people to be aware of real teachings of their prophets and love will not kill but fill –our lives with hope
Love in Economics: Apart from Life insurance & Love as tool by firms to sell their products the formation of economic system like Socialist economics is based on love (against misconception of violence). Had we been like animals who think of their own survival- socialism would never have born. It was love for the fellow and feeling to share the things gave birth to this concept. Again the people were mislead and some socialist movement marked with violence which was entirely against the concept of socialism i.e. share to survive. Again we need to create awareness enough to teach people to not to keep the thing beyond their needs and not to expect the things beyond their efforts.
Love in Politics: individualà family à groups à colonies à town à cities à states à countries à society. The second step in formation of society involves interaction based purely on love i.e. family (husband & wife mother & fathers, children, brothers & sisters, uncles, aunties). After all what went wrong which make this chain of love as chain of hatred , fight , armies , weapons of mass destruction etc .
Again the deviants of society who crave for power and out of their hidden insecurities never allow people to bond. Appeals are made of conflicting motives, people are told that their loved one will be only get things & survive if they fight to those whom they do not know. Divisions in name of caste, creed, sex, state, language, country is just to gratify the ego of some people for whom love and coexistence holds no meaning. These people are remnant of tribe who practised cannibalism. And no doubt people will get rid of them as soon as they understand that the things we are fighting for is not worth fighting.
Similar practises have been established in society which harms the basic human spirit i.e love. For Instance -- Caste System in marriages. We all are made of same flesh bone and 23 pairs of chromosomes. What difference it would make if someone marries a person who is not labelled as of same caste. In fact science has proved that nature prefers diversity as its increases the chances of existence. So what seems as failure of love marriages is our inability to support people who have shown guts to go for basic human traits i.e. Love.
People respond to situation. We create such circumstances to which such couples can never respond positively. deep in our minds the division is so rooted that we go beyond logic of love and connect such events with our existence and hence the reluctance .
So we must realize the fact that our whole existence now depends upon love as we have accumulated so many weapons of mass destruction that slightest sense of hate my wipe out the whole human life on earth. Gandhi ji rightly said "love your enemies" because that is the only way to make him less insecure and less harmful. So finally we can conclude of all things we have in nature the best of all is the ability to think and thus ability to love. And as soon as love will exist there will always be hope that world will be a better place to live. So Love does have hope and as Jesus said "The one who seek for true friend should have no malice in heart "
She Woke Up
It was 8:10 when she woke up. Reluctantly remembered what day it was. Two more days to Sunday was that entire she can produce. Slowly she came out of bed -yet in sleep. Stretched her hand and start looking for the things she will need. She managed to find her toothbrush and while looking for toothpaste she remembered that she almost used all her energy to squeeze the paste out of the tube last morning. She made a mental note last morning regarding this issue. The tube was not in a position to produce even a single drop of paste.
But hope is a strong emotion. She continued searching for that near dead tube. Searching a thing of requirement is a seriously mysterious affair. One always tends to get a thing which was urgently required some day before .But getting the object of immediate attention requires a huge amount of luck. She found herself lucky today .The tube was watching her from the dictionary. She used it as bookmark. While pulling out the toothpaste she opened the page which the tube was marking. The word was “Blaspheme" the meaning of which was described as “talking impious of the god”
She suddenly found herself in the extended confusion which surrounded her last night when she slept. She was reading an article which described "existence of god" as the element of illusion (or faith) which keeps people's ego intact against negative emotions like anger, hatred humiliation etc.
She found herself quite unsure of the status of god. During her B’tech course she was once told that while analyzing an issue one should keep emotions and biasing separate from facts. So she tried to get the pros & cons of the existence of god and make points out of it. She started making list as she always did while making her seminars reports etc
Benefits of having god
--people get hope
--people can make wishes
--it sooths one's agitation and restlessness
--it gives some people something to do (like her mom)
--it gives a platform where we can blame the things happening which we cannot understand (may be before the law of gravity the god was responsible for that downfall of apple)
--it creates harmony in people...
This thought raged her and she feel clustered .Her thoughts were cloudy and too many at a time. One more Btech approach.. Solve clouds by stacking them. She could never digest why god cannot create harmony among people and sometime he himself was responsible for that disorder. She once more started making list..
--when religion is meant to unite people then why it creates segregation
--why devoting a part & income of your life is necessary to make god happy
--Most of the terrorism is based on either religion or economics
--why there are so many gods to be worshiped
The more problems she thought was redundant in nature that is more or less the above mentioned points in some other forms. Once when she was in her 12th class she once gave a theory .Which she never mentioned to anyone but yet she was quite sure of its relevance and success. God must be a species who is developed more in terms of brain and power. She did watched many of those mythological TV serials. All sort of gods played politics dirtier then we human beings do. They also do all those thing which we are not supposed to get at place built by them called as " SWARGA ".Happenings of swarga itself is contradictory ..
One fellow lives his life with discipline and dedication while restricting himself from doing forbidden things like wine, dance luxury etc...if he successfully complete his life in this way then he will go to " SWARAGA"( heaven) which will provide him the rewards like "SURA" ( divine wine ) ..The prettiest of the girls known as "APSARAS" will dance there for him. So the thing which is one deprived of through out his life is rewarded in the same form after death. Life itself is quite mysterious affair .But she put one simple theorem "the driving force theorem ".
all bodies are like physical system which need some energy to thrive. There is one controlling energy which keeps system intact. Whenever a disruption is observed in that physical system the driving energy tries to fight back. (recall immune system and Lee Chatlier’s law of equilibrium ) .If the disturbance is more then the energy can fight back the energy leaves the body and person is now known as dead. Up to this stage our medical systems have found ways which helps this energy in fighting back but restoration of that energy once it leaves body is not yet possible. These super species called as god may know in better way of controlling that energy. May be that is the reason why we worship them.
Later with growing stage she considered this theorem of her as childish one .But she can never find a flaw in her theorem...
Harmony problem again shot back .She then tried to think of miracles which establishes god as a respectable identity in society.
Three days before while she was driving her scooty in the road an autorikshaw hit her. She fell on road and a matador passed by with only inches of gap between them. Her head was revolving and she was breathing heavily while thanking god for saving her life.
Accidents like this manage us to think of supreme authority which controls our life. But suddenly she a thought crossed her mind. What if god himself plans all those tragedies to reestablish him among us? (That “better species and controlling that life energy better then us thing” crawled slowly and stayed somewhere inside her)
In fact our GEETA says “we all are only the tools ...gods has already planned what is going to happen ".But thinking of all those mass tragedy where people were dead in such a large amount made her think of something else as reason of all those happenings.
But again she was out of her mind or she was thinking beyond we all think by only taking one thing in account “keep emotions separate from facts. After all we never think before killing hundreds of goats in parties & celebrations. May be we all are like goats for our God. The same goat whose picture we portray as a sign of innocence and then at some other time slicing it just to make sure we feel the joy at tip our tongue. A complete life energy system of goat destroyed just for a momentarily joy of our tongues. May be god acts in the same way as we do for goats.
Now she was feeling uneasy of the complete thought and wished if she was wrong in that matter. Slowly she came out of all that thought and moved toward that toothpaste and toothbrush issue. what was left was a feeling of uneasiness and considering herself as radical for "talking impious of god ".Apologizing the god for complete thought process and fearing for her sins which might unplease the god.
May god make everybody happy was all she prayed ....after all hope is a very strong emotion .At least it make people believe that they will be happy in future.....
After all goats never thought that they will be killed......
