Thoughts and musings of a commoner

  • The divide crosses our minds first before we find excuses to draw boundaries in the name of country, religion, colour, caste, etc. We fail to live up to our true potential when we think that being human is not enough.
  • Let's be the way Almighty made us—human—and try to live up to our nomenclature, "Mankind." Let's be "kind" and take care of each other; otherwise, we will hate and kill each other to extinction.
  • We do not please our deities and prophets when we kill each other in the name of religion. On the contrary, it is one of our biggest sins. How can those who commit atrocities expect to find a place in heaven? May good sense prevail. May justice prevail.
  • The Almighty is present not just in places of worship; he or she is omnipresent, even within us. So it is imperative that we clean our inner selves like we clean our places of worship.
  • It's high time we set aside our petty differences and be responsible global citizens by thinking about our planet first, then our nations, then our states, and finally our cities, towns, or villages.

  • Ever wondered why the Almighty did not allow us to use our full brain capacity? Because the Almighty wanted us to collaborate and grow, much like an interconnected network of brains. This is the only way humans can truly become an intelligent species.
  • Critiquing people with the aim of finding their weaknesses only makes you miss your opportunity to be a better person by focusing on their strengths and learning from them.
  • Criticism is OK as long as it is constructive because it helps you learn and grow (if you are not a "I know it all" person). However, when people criticise for the sake of criticising, it simply fuels negativity.
  • Merely counting the sins of others doesn't justify our own. Pujas, ibadats, and prayers don't help much in cleansing our souls. We need to get our acts right, and only then can we seek forgiveness from the Almighty. Our 'Karma' decides our destiny.
  • Hypocrisy is when our moral standards (if any) vary based on who, where, and when.
  • The entire game of supremacy is an utter waste of time and human intellect. It is the perfect case of a lost opportunity. How much could have been achieved had we collaborated for a unified cause—the development of the human race  
  • I remember how my parents would tell me and my siblings not to waste food, explaining that there were many in the world who were not fortunate enough to afford a proper meal daily. Back then, global warming was not such an issue as it has been in the past couple of decades. All the food that we waste ends up in landfills. They begin emitting methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes a lot to global warming. How wise our elders were; had we paid heed to them, we wouldn't have been facing such a crisis.
  • Even after our so-called 'Evolution', if all we know is to 'consume' and all we accumulate is 'greed', then what's the point?
