Random Philosophy.....

I am not religious. I was, for a couple of years, but not anymore. If forced to mention my religion, I would say I am a Hindu. I am not ritualistic but rituals fascinate me.

Now the tricky question...do I believe in God? I am not sure as of now but I know that somewhere in heart I hardly/don’t believe.

I don't believe in the bait of heaven and the threat of hell. I don't believe that there are rewards in store if you do good and punishments if you do evil. I believe that we don't need a reason to do well and there is absolutely no excuse to hurt someone.

I do not believe that we suffer for a reason. Everyone goes through the cycles of happiness and sorrow, success and failure. Experiencing failure and sorrow is an opportunity to become a stronger person and be a better fit in our personal world. More importantly, it teaches me how to deal with it when I meet it the next time.

According to me, every problem either has a solution or a work around. It is up to me to discover it. There are no dead ends in life (except for death itself).

I believe in leading a life where I am true to myself, and don't add negative energy to the word. There is just one life we get to live, and I try my best to live it to the fullest. Keeping the 'self' alive is important. I feel it is fine to make mistakes as long as I learn my lessons and I have the courage to face the consequences of my actions. I don't have too much of respect for the rules of the society, and feel following my heart is more important. I like living on the edge and, as a rule, I take all the major decisions in my life on an impulse. I believe in having absolute clarity about what my priorities in my life are, and they are just 4: my Family, my Career, my Friends and my Life. Leading my life my way is the most important thing for me.

This is how I would ideally like to live but I am human, and can't stick to everything all the time but this philosophy is my guiding light.
