Antibiotics sure do help in the short run. Feel much better since yesterday.I know it affects you also, but I just cant stand colds.It drives me mad.Anyway I met another Sri Lankan today in college. Voke.Me off.c u all!!

I hate you!!!

I hate my Geyzer.It chooses not to work at the wrong time, when the weather is terrible and I am down with a severe cold. Got mucus dripping all over the place and throat feels like someone poked a hot rod inside. Uh!!!I feel terrible.

“I’m talking about the highs and lows. First, you get married and you’re on an incredible high. Six weeks later mom dies, and it’s impossible to get any lower. Cat gets pregnant for the first time, and then has a miscarriage. You and Cat make the decision to move and you’re excited about starting a new life; a month later, Dana has a seizure and we find out she has a brain tumor. Then, you learn that Cathy’s pregnant again; at the same time, we find out that Dana can’t have kids and she isn’t likely to live more than five years. It’s like you’ve been living on a roller coaster that’s racing up and down, without hitting a level area. For you, it’s been the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.”

This is a passage I found quite true from the book “Three Weeks with my Brother” by Nicholas and Micah Sparks. It makes you think doesn’t it? How uncertain life is like I said in a previous writing of mine. It is a fascinating truth. It is an unforgiving reality. It is the reality. It sure does inspire me. Does it do the same to you?

Is there a supernatural element in the world? We believe that the birds and the bees and the rocks and the plains were created by one godly figure, who maybe Jesus Christ, Allah etc. We will never know for sure. It is only a belief and a believer does not know for sure. We just believe for the sake of believing. We believe to stay out of hell. We believe because we are forced to as we are born. We believe because of education. We believe because of the “apparent” healing power god has. Life is not complete without strife, without suffering and without pain. People pray to be happy, to be content, to own, to prosper and to live. God does not exist, if at all he does exist for the mere healing of people. He taught us human beings something valuable as it is said in the Holy Scriptures. Do we follow what he has taught us? Do we stop to think whether merely going to a place of worship and praying would make us any better? I am sure it will clear our conscience. But is that the point of believing in god? Is it just to feel holy and spiritual? Is it to be known around social circles as being religious and god fearing? It simply does not make any sense sometimes. Of course we all feel better after being near “god” and asking for miracles. But don’t we have to fight for miracles? We being the superior species intellectually should believe that god is merely there as a beacon. We have to set ourselves about following his teaching and making a life for ourselves. God is not going to swoop down from the skies and give you babies or build houses for you. He is just a figure in our lives. It is sometimes sickening to witness the same “holy” people who go to places of worship, killing, maiming, torturing mankind. Religion is one of the main reasons for all the bloodshed that takes place today. Is it worth it? Did god create Adam and Eve for this? Did he want the very people he created dead in an instant flash, be it a suicide bomb or a stabbing. We create misery, not god if ever there is one. So don’t pour all the blame on the poor sod. It’s just not fair.

Life is like a roller coaster ride. It has its up’s and down’s. It offers so much, but most of us do not take what it has to offer. In a philosophical context, life is like a war. We have our own battles to fight, we win and we lose at the same time. We are injured bodily and spiritually. We are carefree and we are burdened. We find friends, we lose them. We find love, we lose love. It is an endless cycle. We fight and we move on to other lands. We conquer everything nature gives us. Greed takes hold of us, grief also takes it toll on us. Could life ever be perfect? No. It is so uncertain. We never know when the end is and how near it is. We fight against time and space. We fill up every nook and cranny around us. We indulge in varieties of good deeds and misdeeds. We conquer the world as human beings. Are we happy? Happiness is momentary. It comes and goes, just like everything else. The believers and the non believers have their own wars to wage, the Muslims and the Hindus have their own battles, and the Jews have their own conflicts. So are we ever happy? That remains a question to be unanswered. It will never be answered. Life becomes a huge burden on all of us, whether it is war-peace, love-hate or anything for that matter. We homosapiens never know the true value of happiness or freedom. We just move on with the drone of life, like a plane moves on with the drone of its engines. We never take a break to review ourselves but we have all the time to review others. That’s what makes human life so ugly. Animals do not dream of criticizing or analyzing anyone. They live in harmony with nature. They give back to the nature as much as they take from it. We don’t. We only grab whatever is offered to us like cannibals. We dream of better tomorrows, better lives and better living. Does it really make any sense? We only dream, we never wade through the rough seas to achieve what we dream. We are like stillborns. We just stay put and whine about things we don’t have. Our minds take us on a bigger roller coaster ride and if we do not know when to say “ENOUGH”, the waves of life surpasses us.
