Dear All,
Watching cricket alone in a hotel's restaurant, having some chips and after hectic 3 days of travel, a lot of thoughts cross mind. Though this has happened a few times with me, but these days my writing self is pushing a bit from inside.
I just finished writing a blog on current macro political scenario a few days back. Got good hits!
I lack the knack of building a background and then subtly going on the topic which great writers so naturally possess!
Last 2 days I was in a land where politics and religion crossed paths and then devil unleashed. Now the state is back by 100 years. Punjab.
Religion has been the biggest weakness of public that politics has used. The intersection of both has killed hundreds and thousands. These two things are like petrol and fire, you bring them closer and there will be a blast!
This intersection is neither new nor unintentional. This petrol and fire combination is being used very regularly since ages and in very planned manner.
But the conman man is too emotional about both, religion being top in the order. I fail to understand the relevance.
Religion is something very personal. To me religion is a belief in an almighty who takes care of my world. That can be God or even any person whom I have immense faith in. Someone whom I can look up to with closed eyes and a sulking or a joyous heart. For me my God are my parents! Period! I don't believe in any other God!
Further all religions are way to lead a happy and healthy life. Pure science discovered 100s and 1000s years by our ancestors (and not science discovered by westerners). So far I am yet to come across a religion or a way of life that teaches violence. Consistently all religions as far as I have understood in my 30 years of life (yes I am disclosing I am 30 now, and worried too!) have taught love, peace and togetherness. That's it. That's how religions is relevant. It's purely personal and to be kept at home, mind and heart not on streets.
We as common citizens need to understand that no one can disrespect any one else's religion if we don't bring religion to streets.
Politicians pay to create disturbance and only way they can do is by instigating the point of religion.
If we believe in our Gods so strongly and know that he is so great then how can anyone insult that almighty!
So where's the point of disrespect? So where's the fight?
It's important as a society we keep our religions at our home and use it as a tool to stay healthy and happy rather than fight over it and get ourselves killed through hands of politicians (here I am referring to all those who manipulate religion in some way or another as politicians).
To me my religion may be important but I am least bothered about your views on that! SIMPLE!
And if I am actually bothered, then I am a weak follower of my parents; my God!
So decide whether you want to follow your religion blindly or just take it as a way to live your life healthy and happy.
Signing off!
