Westernization and the old world.
I am interested in the progression of knowledge and the application use of it. When knowledge is not applied it becomes words that we 'worship'. I am also interested in the simplification of knowledge so we can help more people see the truth in complex statements.
We should be able discuss broader perspectives with our youth at earlier ages, enable them to be thought provoking individuals instead of rejects who cannot do simplest of tasks. This is a requirement of parenting, to take on more of an active role in the learning process and keeping the educational institutions and communities in check.
Anyhow, that is a different topic, a different blog. Lets get back into this 'western culture' influence mindset that we are all in, to a certain degree.
In the 'learning' aspect of things, knowledge itself is always growing, people came up with theories then came philosophies. We tried to understand why do certain things, behaviour patterns, tribal instincts and we have stopped practicing rituals that made no sense to anyone anyhow.
We have come to an age where a concept can be explained in logic, so the question becomes it is a true or false statement? Simple as 1 + 1 = 2, if there is an unknown, dig deeper and if that is what helps you sleep at night, then that is your prerogative and if you don't care, that is fine too!
The problem I see is that people fight to express their beliefs in false statements such as 2 + 2 = 5. Yes, that might be what people call faith but spirituality what does that matter?
I believe you are better off with the number 0. Be adaptive, be like water and accept what we have learned and don't know and just live life.
I believe all the knowledge out there is already within us, it is up to our imagination to come up newer ways to create relationships that can make sense of it. To build tools, to analysis and to understand and communicate so we can express what we have learned today from our experiences for tomorrow.
Let take the time to explain myself and what makes me who I am. My views and actions are not specific to one race, nor to one single specific belief system. I am a student of life, everyday I learn and grow and I will keep growing as long as I live.
I have much to learn from other people's experiences and other world cultures, I DO NOT define myself as 'Indian' because my parents came from India, nor do I can worry about 'our' history which typically dates only 200 years in most of these feeble debates.
I see myself as a human, and all history is mine, all the world's people are my people, these are all my cultures.
I believe this is the brotherhood of man and how we will live together in peace.
