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.

Freedom of Religion

  The idea of personal belief and individual freedom in matters of religion is a fundamental aspect of many modern societies that uphold principles of personal autonomy and freedom of thought. The notion that religion is a deeply personal and private matter is often rooted in the idea that individuals should have the freedom to explore and practice their own beliefs without external coercion or imposition. In a pluralistic society that values diversity of thought and belief, it is important to respect and uphold the rights of individuals to hold their own religious beliefs without interference or pressure from others. This includes the right to choose one's own faith, to practice it in a way that is meaningful to the individual, and to change or evolve those beliefs over time. Imposing religious beliefs on others can lead to coercion, discrimination, and infringement of personal freedoms. It can also undermine the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices that exist in diverse soc...

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...

Mahabharata Simplified by LordSeeths

It's a complex and multi-layered text, with stories, teachings, and philosophical lessons that have shaped Indian culture for thousands of years. At its core, the Mahabharata is a story of the Kurukshetra War , a grand battle between two groups of cousins—the Pandavas and the Kauravas —but its scope goes far beyond just the war itself. 1.
