Random

From past few days I am reading a lot of books on philosophy. Books mainly about life, meaning of life, purpose of life, aim of life and even how to attain the ultimate aim of life. I won’t name the books, as some of them are really famous and might offend people. But I suppose, its not important what book is all about and what actually author wants to convey. The important thing is what reader understood and what thoughts the book invokes. Being a mathematician the first thing that came to my mind is to check the validity of the questions. I started with is really our life have a meaning or if we really need a meaning to our life. What is wrong if our life is complete random and shaped by the chances rather than destiny. We all think that we are the blessed children of the lord. Actually we should consider the possibility that we might be the unwanted children of the God and we must learn to live with that.

Now the first thing that came to my mind is there really any purpose of life. People talk all the time about meaning and planning for the life but comfortably ignore that life might be simply an accident. It might be possible that we are not sent in the world with some great mission. At least statistically we can assume this much. The real question is why from centuries we are running behind some questions which might not have any solutions.

The man is not agile or has the strength of other animal. He had to cooperate and collaborate in order to survive. The only strength that human possessed is intelligence. But intelligence can’t be shared or collaborated. In animal community the law and order is restored or maintained by the strength. The power is exercised by the brute force . But in case of human the intelligence had to be reined in to establish the order.Every thought is required to be in same direction. But the thought or intelligence is not the thing that can be controlled by the force. There is nothing like collective intelligence. No discipline can be ever forced on the mind of people. In order to establish a social order the leader of our society decided that its easier to kill the creative minds rather than motivating the people to think for the same purpose or collective aim. So to control the minds of the people, the leaders and preachers of this society decided to commit a fraud. They created things that were intangible and vague. They created these things to make people intellectually drained. They created these unsolvable riddles to prove that every man is worthless and incapable as far as thinking is concerned. They made human to think that they are inadequate and hence forced them to submit to them. They created the theories like aim of life and make people to pursue it. They made people to seek something that don’t exist at all. They created a false purpose of life and gave false ego to every living being. Everybody is special and has an aim in life and people need to find that out. This is good enough to keep him engaged and occupy his mind for the life. At the end he will feel that he is not good enough and then he will willfully submit to the system. He will obey the system and will do anything that will be asked of him. The funda is to beak the spirit of man; his freethinking spirit by proving that he is incapable and inadequate. Make him so dependent on the others that he starts thinking in terms of others. He values, sense of right or wrong, successes all will be measured in the eyes of others. He will start living for the others and others for different others. In this vicious circle no one will ever live for himself. These unhappy people will run to priests and guru to seek happiness and peace. These people then can be united in the name of religion or ideals and then this group with no independent thinking can be broken to be ruled. These are the groups that formed the great civilization.
