The first one!!

Writing a blog for the first time!! Blogging must be a cool time pass for people like me who‘ve got loads of free time. Read a few blogs in the past few days, thought even I should be trying my hands on it. Ah, now wt should I talk about…….from my childhood days to college, there is lot I have seen. But alas!!, there seems no limit to things that are there to be learnt. I still feel like a child who has seen nothing but the surface of the ocean (A weird parallel). Ignorance is bliss!! The lesser you know, the fresher u are to take on the world. As I see people falling for small things, I can’t but feel pain. It pains me to see humans displaying signs of weakness, I hate to believe humans can be vulnerable. But there is a twist in the tale, the good thing is one seems capable of breaking the bounds he set for himself, one can always be free from the miseries that make him feel worse than an animal !! Now this line of thinking leads me to my favorite theme – The Truth.
Quoting Swamiji (Vivekananda), “Fear is the greatest sin”, I feel this statement is so correct, fear takes away the meaning of life, it takes away the freedom, to moment we restrict ourselves we suffer; fear destroys the ability to create, to dare, to believe, to work hard, to win; the moment we surrender to fear we are dead. Why do we fear? Whom do we fear? Fear originates in the mind. Fear originates from the guilt of doing wrong (which can’t be escaped), fear has its foundation in lie. Fear grips us when we fail to see the truth, when we knowingly blind ourselves from what is true, when we fail to face the truth and when we display the human weaknesses. Fear is binding, fear is imprisonment, fear is death. The path to freedom is truth. Standing up and facing the truth, is what we call character, accepting your weaknesses and getting rid of them is what strengthens the character. There are two ways of living; one is u blind yourself from the truth and live a fairy tale life, believing that everything we do is right, refusing to believe the truth and as we do this the fear builds up in our mind and attains gigantic proportions, and the other is to fight, yes to fight against our weaknesses, to fight against lie and to hold your head and so live a life worthy of respect. The choice again is yours.
