let there be "light"

Most of us see addiction as an seemingly incorrigible habit of drinking,smoking or taking drugs.But the human mind is so potent and dab,and our "self" so egoistic ,that we all together fail to recognize other faces of addiction or thoughtless-obsession.

Let me tell u wat i see around myself daily.I see people "worshipping";no offence, but that is not worship,that cant be.
Much of that is imitation,and of such a form that one doesnt know it themselves.Sometimes that is called ("blind")faith in the almighty.

Much of this deception of faith is born out of the habits inculcated in them at their
childhood.Those who dont search out the meanings of this pandemic paedagogy just remain trapped,n continue to do the things they see aroud themselves and oh,wat they see is everyone doing the same .And it is hardly of any importance to remind that a mob is like a troop. They do it in fear,not in faith,faith is a totally different thing feeling,realization.Fear of being ostracized from our so called religious society.Or worst still they do it out of selfishness believing that it will be rewarded by blessing,being looked upon by HIM.


There is also another reason: identity.One who is even only a bit conscious may soon realise that our religious rituals hardly make any sense to him.But even then he allows himself to be clutched.bcoz if he aint a hindu ,if he aint a christian,if he aint a muslim,then who he is .
It is needless to say of the plights of people who break-off the "shackles".They find themselves wid sum sort of "social identity" crisis.Association wid the society becomes almost impossible.
And thus a stark irony pops up in my mind.We thought of addiction something that makes us to be looked down upon by others in some way or other,and he,here it makes us reverent.
Lastly I would like to say that when i go through the crap-work above from an objective point of view ,even i picture the blogger as some gloomy personality,one who doesnt find any sense in religions.U may figure me as a handicap trying to learn rugby,and on the doomed failure cursing the game itself.
But it always makes sense to look at the moon,not at the finger or the person ,pointing towards that!
