Are we bound and blinded by religion?

We normally hear the word religion almost like everyday in our life, our life runs by this very word, in fact our very existence seems to be because of it...but are we confined to the word religion?? Is our freedom of thought, act or speech bound or restricted by religion???      

Religion by and far is defined or has been defined as a set of beliefs that one follows, ones faith in the supernatural or divine unexplained forces, but is a religion followed under pure freedom or is it because of the fear of isolation ,still remains the big question.

But to answer this would be like to question the practises put forward and followed by our ancestors, their thoughts, their religious beliefs which has been passed on from generation to generation, and if anyone does...it would be considered blasphemy...but the necessity to question arises  because we have become dependent on religion..we try to find reasons for our wrong doings from  religion , and give vague answers that our misdeeds would be forgiven...but isn’t this like testing God’s patience over and over again...and covering up our faults and shoving them under the carpet called religion?

Religion has blinded us from being human..it has made us forget our humane side, in the name of religion people kill, in the name of religion they commit horrendous acts and seek all sought of justifications, in the name of religion people forget to love and in all this we forget it is us, we humans who created religion ...

Losing love, fearing to love only because you  belong to a certain religion ,caste or creed doesn’t make sense....because to love the only thing needed is a loving heart...and to be morally right and to do what is right we don’t need to be religious...the only thing needed is a pure heart.....A world without religion, without fear of losing someone to the name of religion is a world we can only dream about but its not a dream that is impossible .....

what is love???

Love is divine  love is pure ..some say love has no boundaries or restrictions..love has no religion or face..it depends upon how we look at it...some say  love hurts ..love is the ultimate blunder  a wise man can ever commit, But a wise friend of mine gave me the ultimate answer to the question  why love hurts...”love hurts because ..we look at it from our point of view , we keep our expectations up high and fail to see things from the other person’s  point of view.” Hmmmm..definitely interesting.............but that still doesn’t explain what is love??

Is it that gut feeling a guy gets when he sees a dame walking by..but wait wouldn’t you call that i don’t know an instantaneous reaction that most men get when they see any hot chick? Or is that feeling that a girl or a guy gets when they see each other for the first time and deep within their hearts they just know that they are meant to be together?? Well thats something to think about..

“ A girl would never reveal her true feelings, her love for you, she would be that silent listener, that silent onlooker..looking at you with all the love that she has for you, but she would never tell  what she really feels for you.....”

“Loving you has been the only thing that i have known, loving you has been the only thing i have done..and i wish to love you for ever more”

Quotes like this definitely sound crazy, can it be humanely possible to write something like that..well it is possible, it is possible for a person who has really been in love...and i know the person who wrote this was truly madly deeply in love...

Well reading so far you might just say, this is just one side of love, what about mother’s love? Isn’t that important...Well yes, definitely yes, the love that you get from your family , friends are very important and it is defined, we understand it , we know the limitations and we can explain it ..but the love that you get from that one very special person, who just lightens up your life..who means the world to you..who sets your heart racing..and makes you feel special in every way...without whom you feel absolutely incomplete...what about that kind of love?? can it be explained in words, phrases...????

Well as i said earlier..some questions are better left unanswered.........

Does loneliness kill???

Some say its a great opportunity to be alone, it gives you the time to think, do a bit of soul searching and maybe decide a few things for yourself... But doesn't loneliness ever kill..??.Doesn't it kill your very existence??...Are we actually alive because of our family, friends and our social circle..??

Well this question has been in my mind for a few days, an unanswered question burning within...
Well a week to my self gave me the opportunity to try answering them...


Loneliness can kill you day by day, inch by inch..but then a point of time comes that you become so accustomed to the silence, the deadly silence..that it becomes rather odd to hear a human voice again.
I'm reminded of a story that i had read a while back "The Bet", about a young man who decided to live a solitary life just in order to win a bet, and that to not for a week but for 15years, while reading the story then, it did leave  me with a lot of questions definitely unanswered, and the same questions are repeating itself today but in a very different context, do we actually need  friends , family or a social life to survive?? does our very existence revolve around them??


The funny part is I haven't been able to find answers to these questions...I think its best to say that some questions are better left unanswered.......
