Life begins at 40…..
Read this in a newspaper today. It really amuses me that why am I amused at such prospective article??? What makes me look forward to turning 40 so that I can actually start enjoying life?? Why not today when I'm 28 years old? Or haven't I had good time all this while? These are few questions which I ask myself..... And deep down in my heart I know that whether I am 28 or 40 I will always make things happen for me and if not then I'll mold my mind into such that it will be happy and at peace with what its got. Its just matter of how you want, when you want, what you want, where you want to make or break your life!!!
What is God????
Is God real? Surprisingly, this fundamental question is simplistic in nature. It is solved by asking another question, "Where did everything come from?" And there is only one common answer that we get to hear "God has created it". No wonder there is a super power because of which we are all able to live, to breathe. But then where is this super power from super someone coming from??
I started thinking about this when I was about 15 years old. Sometimes I would think about my parents that who are these people I am living with? From where did they come from? Who am I? And then accompanied by these uncomfortable thoughts a horror would strike me in my face. What will happen if I loose these people I am living with? If they are just"people" how come I am insecure without them? Why am I afraid to loose them? And then tears would swell in my eyes and I needed my mothers arms my fathers strong shoulders to lean on to feel safe. Yes thats when I realized who I am.....
I have heard many stories and tales about people in search of themselves, not knowing who they are. But my side of story is I know what I am, who I am. I am here to live a life given to me by my parents, nurture it with their upbringing, cultivate it by their values and cherish it with their memories. For me they are my super-power who have brought me into this world and have taught me to live a life (which I had no clue about). It is so simple. Thats the story of my life. But what about this entire universe, this entire land, this entire aura that we live in. Who has given birth to that? the universe at some point began! The implications of these scientific observations have caused atheists to seek out a mechanism by which the universe could have created and developed itself via random chance, without any Intelligent Director.
Ask a Humanist like me, "Is God real?" and you will get a resounding "No!". Because I believe you are your own God. God is nothing but what is planned for you in your lifetime and even after death. To know your self and to beleive in it is half the battle won with life. Rest its your destiny which will take you there.
