Confuscious

It's my last day tomorrow at Zeus. Maybe its not time to talk about it yet. I still have a day. The change was needed but at times I wish it wasn't so. Who knows? Its all for good I guess. Its a seriously weird phase I am going through. Thinking and mulling things over is a good idea but it stays good when you think one thing at a time. Trying to multi-think is not a good idea. Everything just mixes up and confuses you even more.

Keeping an open mind is one thing and losing perspective is another. A series of events have been happening and they keep hitting me one after the other like waves. Well after giving things a lot of thought, I have decided that I will try and focus on what's happening and keep other things at bay. I got 2 weeks to get this fact across... to myself.

As far as the truth about life is concerned, I think I need to read more, interact more and then come to a conclusion as to what works for me. I'll need to follow the path of science, keep the scientific methodology alive. It'll help me question, find the actual question. Only then can I search for the answer. But I do not think science will have the answers to all the questions. I will have to search elsewhere. I will not live to see science advance to answer them. I have never been too religious, so I am not sure it will help me answer anything. Though I would like to know why they are the way they are. Hinduism has intrigued me mainly because I find ancient India interesting.

From what I have read so far, I believe that the ancient Indians had advanced quite a lot and there must be more than what meets the eye. Maybe questioning it could help clarify things, separate the facts from fiction, science from superstition and bring some credibility to it.

The problem is, religion won't let you criticize it and science is quick to dismiss anything it doesn't understand. A little arrogant at times. But it's questioning attitude will keep it alive and advance it. Not too sure about what will happen to religion though. It might survive if it balances spiritualism and science, instead of issuing doctrines and fatwas.
