I’m not saying if I’m Right or Wrong but what I know about myself is that I’m Different from the crowd, I’m fearless, I’m strong, I’m content of what I am.
I’m an individualistic Person, I’m what I am and I completely respect myself.
You must be thinking that what I’m trying to prove here in this post, why should anybody be interested in me. If you’re thinking so, You’re absolutely right. It’s just not about me, Its about so many other people who are considered as an Atheist just because they are not stereotyped, they walk different from the crowd.
May be because they do not spend hours standing in front of the stone idols, they do not keep fast, they do not visit temple, Gurudwara, mosque or churches, they do not believe in days when you cannot eat non-vegetarian food whereas other days you’re free to eat as much as you wish, may be because they do not keep on chanting some or the other mantra…. Are all the people doing above stated are THEIST…are they Right…??
I never understood this concept of not eating non-vegetarian food on Tuesday but you may eat whatever on Wednesday…Since I can recall my childhood, I could never digest this phenomenon. I tried several times to follow what my elders were following, like chanting mantra, lighting incense, keeping fasts but didn’t feel doing it right when my soul is on some other planet.
A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death – Albert Einstein
I’m not saying that doing all that is wrong but what’s the use when you do that just to please others, you are doing that just to show that you are a strong believer of God.
I say that I’m a hugely Strong believer of God no matter if I follow the rules shown by my elders or not . I believe in Kindness, I believe in sharing, I believe in spreading smiles, empowering people and helping poor. My prayer is done if I made someone laughed, If I spent entire day thinking about how I can make others feel special.
I speak to God everyday and he answers all my questions….Whenever there comes a problem in my life, there comes a solution as well. I can listen to that sacred voice, I do not need any one’s advice as God is my advisor.
If I don’t believe in something that is “Religion” as it just divides people. Religion does three things quite effectively: Divides people, Controls people, Deludes people. My religion is my Karma. I believe in reaping what you sow. I love God.
“If god doesn’t like the way I live, Let him tell me, not you.”
Keep loving yourself….keep loving God
