The Unquestioning Belief in Something Without Evidence or Reason

Blind faith, the unquestioning belief in something without evidence or reason, can be incredibly dangerous. When individuals or groups adhere to blind faith, they often become susceptible to manipulation and exploitation. In some cases, individuals may use religion and belief in God as a shield to justify committing crimes or unethical acts.

This misuse of faith can lead to the concealment of wrongdoing under the guise of religious righteousness. When blind faith is exploited in this way, it not only obscures the truth but also undermines the core principles of morality and accountability that are essential for a just society.

It is crucial for individuals to critically examine their beliefs and not use them as a cover for harmful actions, as blind faith can easily be weaponized to perpetrate injustice and evade responsibility.

It's a curious irony of human existence that we are born with incredibly complex and capable brains, yet many of us often fail to harness their full potential. Our brains are powerful organs, capable of incredible feats of thought, creativity, and problem-solving. They allow us to learn, adapt, and navigate the complexities of the world around us.

However, despite this innate capacity, many people struggle to fully utilize their brains to their advantage. This can be due to a variety of factors, including lack of education, limited opportunities for mental stimulation, or simply the tendency to rely on habits and routines rather than actively engaging in critical thinking and learning.

In a world filled with distractions, constant information overload, and societal pressures, it can be all too easy to fall into patterns of thought that limit our potential and prevent us from fully tapping into the power of our minds.

It takes conscious effort and intention to break free from these constraints, to challenge ourselves to think critically, to learn new skills, and to explore new perspectives.

By recognizing the incredible gift of our brains and committing to nurturing and expanding our mental capacities, we can begin to unlock new levels of understanding, creativity, and fulfilment.

It is through this ongoing process of growth and self-improvement that we can truly begin to realize the full potential of the remarkable organ with which we are all born.

CONSCIOUSNESS

In the simplest explanation, Consciousness is awareness of internal or external existence . We have made a great deal of progress in understanding brain activity, and how it contributes to our behaviou r but conventional science aren ’ t able to explain consciousness. IF MIND IS MATTER...,there was an approach rooted by the philosopher Bertrand Russell Bertrand Russell and the scientist Arthur Eddington in 1920 ’ s . I t turns out that physics is confined from telling us about the behaviour of matter . M atter has mass and charge, properties which are entirely characteri z ed in terms of behaviour , attraction, repulsion and resistance to acceleration ,..correct? Apparently p hysics tells us nothing about what philosophers like to call “ the intrinsic nature of matter ” , how matter is in and of itself. It turns out, then, that there is a huge hole in our scientific world view where physics leaves us completely in ...

THE BATH OF DEATH

THE BATH OF DEATH or what is also known as 'Senicide'. A common practice in India till to date especially in villages. Many questioned how is this cruel compared to euthanasia? Who do we blame? Can education alone solve the social issue? What sickens me more is, they justify this sinful act saying it is the will of God. It has become a lucrative business in India. Well, read on what exactly is done to elders by their own children who look at them as burden. The body is massaged with coconut oil, castor and sesame oils, usually at dawn. After this, the person is given a cold bath and put to bed. The body temperature soon dips, often to a lethal extent. After 15 minutes, the person is made to drink a few glasses of tender coconut water and a glass of milk. This causes renal failure. In a day or two, the person catches a fever and dies. If the oil and coconut water failed, the person would be given a glass of mud mixed with water or a bun which will be forced down their t...

THE MISFIT - Part 1

So, what is "normal,”? It’s basically whatever society considers acceptable based on their beliefs and the standards they've set. But does that really make sense? And where does our right to be ourselves fit into all of that? And then there's homosexuality - do people just wake up one day and decide to be gay? How do we wrap our heads around this? There isn't some magic gene that determines someone's sexual orientation. Your DNA can't tell if you're gay or straight. It's not just about biology, psychology, or life experiences - sexuality isn't a conscious choice you make, it's just a part of who you are. No one really knows for sure what causes someone to be gay, just like how you know you're straight. Some people still believe being gay is a choice, often pointing to religious reasons, but that's not entirely accurate. Old prejudices and fears play a big role here. Even if we acknowledge that sexuality exists on a spectrum, many sti...
