Our place in cosmos - D3

Something happened here, which I really hate, it usually happens with my poems, in hurry to do other things, I forget to save them and by the time I come back to them, they are either deleted or can not find them. And so it happen to this blog, I was done with almost half of it and now have to redo it. But then it's aptly named soliloquy, i get to do it in my own way. 

Let's start, it happens with all of us, time and again, that we wonder our place in cosmic order/creation, it gets easier for those who accept a religious order to supplement their understanding and hinge it to the belief system of the faith. I said easier because,  it saves time, you leave it to the books, traditions being followed, leaders giving illustrations and community support its plus practicial, it's easier figure out what to do when one is dead, one prays to some super power, or one gets married and laid. Sometimes, it also comes with dress code, food and code of conduct, hence even if you haven't had good parenting or came from background without support system, religion fills in. To faithfully it fills in like sugar in water and to unfaithful like garbage in sea. 

I think there are three types of followers, I mean those sorted about their place in bigger scheme of things if any. First kind are good hearted ones, either born in religion or invited by the next type, they are the stars of any religion brand ambassadors, they might live unknown life's, but these are the ones who gets the religion going in tough and bad times and help it to grow in good times, they are just there living their life's, sometime even questioning religion but largely within confines of super structure of faith. Second kinds are adventurous, they are ones proselytising, they are resolute, with extensive plans and pursuantions to show others are way, they are also the ones who lead and mislead, among them are one who become icons of religions, sometimes it's messengers too, and they are also the ones who would not let you questions belief system. They control the first lot and the third lot. In all, these are the ones who invite you to religious discussions, might offer you a book, or shoulder to cry on, loan with religious message, might also help your understand their foods and lifestyle, it's benefits. Ofcourse, exact  ones to be afraid of. Thirds ones, are just lame ducks, they don't question but follow, they might not even understand prayer but they pray. They are also the ones who are generally preyed upon, large masses busy living their life's but at the same time emotional bound to religion. Largely for reasons, it regulates their life's. It adds meaning to life. Unfortunately, these are also the who can be bought over and sold over yet again. 

I think the above discussion was important to understand our place, as many of us might fall in one of those kinds, or might have transversed through those categories over life. It's normal, as religions control our life in other way, I think, all other counter parallel world's haven't been able to match the intensity of control of religions over humans. It's understandable, as it gives on place in the cosmic order, and some peace to accept atleast someone has figured it out for them. 

Reverence, is a beautiful paradox, it's allows one to get all the answers simultaneously it also ensure those who ask difficult question are shut up. Mordern world was supposed to be free to question those established principles of faith. But like all other good things, faith has overtaken. Sadly, it has overtaken constitutional legal system too, key words are freedom to practice faith, phobia, free speech, blasphemy, way of life, culture etc. The humongous task humanity undertook in last few centuries, is being gradually undone. It has become easier and convinient for the current politicians to give in, to demands of overpowering religious lobbies. They have forgotten, efforts their predecessors to get communities rid of shackles of religions and imperilism. It has taken concentrated efforts to lay foundation for a system where religion is confined to private and personal space though have public presence. They able to put where it claim to belong, confirming ones place in the cosmic order, but without upsetting the outer world. The currently leadership also didn't gone through struggle neither  delved in these thoughts, born in post industrial world, it's relishing the material development. It takes huge responsibility and foresight to make human race more rational and empathetic but now leadership fashions itself to be convinience provider, to help you with economic growth and jobs, things which can co-exist even with most religious kinds. Plus, it's easier to get votes in democratic system either by identifying by oneself with religion or not questioning the beliefs of adherents. And for those not in democracy, it's all irrelevant, find democracy ones, it's the beginning. 

Coming back to our place in cosmos, you must have figured it out, while commenting on others who have figured out their place in cosmic other, I am strangely nowhere. Nowhere, yes! But we can still be happy, to be nowhere in this Cosmos like everything else in there. While science figures it out, and religions fight over it, you can live in the non existent space. But unlike, cosmos, which might still be there if everything else go.  We need to nurturer the system which let ones thinks and live freely, for its threatens the majority. If you have a doubt, make 5 statements questioning basic tenants of 3-4 major religions, even if you have taken a neutral approach, some of your friend's will cringe. Some friendship might be lost forever. Without any qualms for freed speech or your personal choice. That's how shallow the religion stands in cosmic order.

Right kind of reforms to ease of doing business - D2

Everyday, I hear clamour, to make Indian more industrial and business friendly, and supposedly, since years best we have come up with is either to make our procedural system simplified at one end and more complicated at another, or opinated leaders announcing clarion call for boycotting certain countries depending the political inclinations or mood of the nation. It is like many other a sham exercise to waste our time. 

We should rather focus on working harder to reviving economy, I mean the government and machinery it entails, than assign next task to janta, i.e., do it yourself by boycotting. Business like any other enterprise prosperous when we create right environment for them, our government, need to pursue it doggedly, but not at cost of natural environmental, crushing labour entitlement/laws or making India dumping ground, but what we need is robust strategy, and seamless implementation to nurture good entrepreneurs by providing with friendly growth environment. We should focus on so called ease of doing business at the same time ensure sham and unethical businesses  practises/persons be punished, we are over burdened by fly by night operators and low quality deals, give good business stable working environment and low procedural cost.

We need to change the norm here, everyone seems to be taking everyone for ride. We need to separate party politics from economics and also our ideologies too. Each ecosystem has its own dynamics and but we have mixed up everything, we are left with dangerous cocktail which could give hangovers to best motivated innovator or enterprising youth looking to start on their own. 

Banning Chinese or American product, is either megalomaniac or hiding our policy failures, pushing it on people. In hard times like these, it's inhumane to burden common man with extra duties and responsibilities, which are result of errors in mechanism and lack of vision.

We don't need to over emotionalise it, we simply work harder with vision and strategy for future. We don't need to turn it into voting campaign, but a plan to make nation more economically resilient in long run. Yes, we need to internalise the journey, not by boycotting others, but by working on our weakness and strengths. Each successful working model it alternative to other one, we need to develop one of our own, democratically. 

Fight and we must fight 💪 - D1

One more fight. This year is preparing us humans to be real. The every day fight to get over splurging and make it with less. If we take it wisely the lesson may go a long way to live more judiciously, or we can let it pass like a phase. Sometime it's our moment to grab the misfortune and turn it around. I think this is the time we can have a new kind of renaissance, rethinking how we have lived and loved in past few decades, and more importantly can we live with less and be happy. Can we be there for each other? Can we stand together for for those in need of help? Can we grow over our recent obsessions of more? Can we be less self indulgent and work together towards a more harmonious and empathetic world... A new world order.... 

It's not a test from heaven or humanity. It's a test for us, can we grow over our recent obsessions of more, and work together to create more harmonious and empathetic but less self indulgent new world order.... 

It's time we can grow over bondages of our own making, structure and superstructures of market, religions, natures and indulgences we have cast upon ourselves. For in all wars, lot of men and women dies, lot more of them unite to fight against every odd, to overcome the enemy and opponents, let's squander this war by pondering fingers at each other or create others among us. It's a chance, a rare one for the mordern society to come together and in one go get ride of vices of past and present. It is battle when, we together can emerger tougher and united, empathetic and caring and more importantly a race not in business of creating more infrastructure but in pursuit of happiness. 

I am not sure, what we would make of it. Will we just focus on blaming crisis on someone, would be wait just to get back to business race, or would be fine cure before we lose too many of us. But I am sure if we don't deliberate together, for the future of the earth, then me might miss the forest for trees. We might just be glad to do some good around the corner, set new targets, make enrich ourselves bit more with nature, when we have got a chance to restart, rethink and redo, all that we have got wrong, our divisions, our diparity and our dissonance. 

For many organisations entrusted to take up these goals, have become nothing more than part of that very system and for all religions and ideologies have created this very system. Nothing against, religious people here, but God forbid, they might have been able to give aim to aimless, job to obedient and solace when one is weak. But expect no more even from them. That's what history has taught us time and again.

The leaders of the past tried to break new grounds while dealing with grave situations. I wish the leaders of today, political, business or religious will rethink their end goal for humanity, for the comman passion and power to sway us. And the rest of us must realise to fight. This new course might not be profitable in short run. Especially for those in long run fighting together is the way which can get us in sync and happy.
