The more i want to deny and suppress certain thoughts i have in mind, the more space they occupy and the more they spring back every now and then. Things happen - some good and some bad. And these events like the genome in our DNA are pre-destined. In someway or the other life will make you pay your dues. Thats something i never believed in and have come to terms with the paraphernalia around the 'kismet' thing. Some questions still linger in my head.
Are we following a pre-destined course of life? Thats what most people agree to. And if thats the case, Do we really have free will? Do the choices we make in life and the decisions we take on the crossroads take us elsewhere and not to the place we are destined to go to. Infact, are these decisions really ours? Or was it made for us before we were even born?
I dont believe in god, atleast i like to believe so. But then, the gods make contradictory statements too. God 1 says - 'Yeh to Vidhi ka vidhaan hai'. God 2 says - Karam kiye ja, fal ki iccha na kar. If it is all predestined - why do the karma?
Confuses me!! Logical Fallacy at its best. With all these questions in my mind, and no answers in sight, il have to wait and see and form my own theory about the circle of life. The purpose of life yet needs to be found and il know one hundred percent of the answers only when i cross the to the other side of life.
But the quest for answers is not so desperate that i want to die. There's still a lot of life to be lived. Abhi to meri shaadi bhi nahi hui ;)
Here are answers to your questions -
ReplyDeleteQ: Are we following a pre-destined course of life?
A: Yes, the destination is fixed but the path leading to it is not fixed.
Q: Do we really have free will?
A: Yes, you have. Imagine a cow tied to a rope. It's boudaries are defined but within the boundary it can roam anywhere.
Q: are these decisions really ours? Or was it made for us before we were even born?
A: The decisions are always yours. Only your final destiny is fixed; the rest are in your hand and luck of course.
Q: why do the karma?
A: That's the only thing you can do. Secondly there's only one GOD no God1 or God2. What you read is someone's version of GOD.
Don't worry you will get married sooner rather than later when you find the right person (the actual right person may not be the person you consider right).
