Determination.

"Its a shield, if you like, a sword if you want it to be and emptiness if you don't recognize it."
Hello Readers.
DETERMINATION
Its such an overrated, overused word and often misinterpreted as "hippy talk".
The word "Determination" is what every English speaking person knows the meaning of and yet doesn't actually know the application of it. I know that in some or any sort of minimalist crisis, its the last thing i think of; But what we all fail to understand, is that determination is one of the greatest human emotions ever. Its not an emotion as such, but the inner drive and motivation all these words essentially describe determination.
It was determination that helped Adolf Hitler commit the greatest genocide in the history of the world. It was Determination that helped Oskar Schindler save hundreds of lives. It was determination that the Manhattan Project resulted in a weapon destructive enough to destroy the entire planet in one go.It was determination that we have the ability of saving cancer victims. And It was determination that Andy Dufresne used to get out of the prison he was wrongfully sent to. I don't think i can ever run out of examples.
My point is that, determination can make a person do wondrous or horrible things. Its like every superpower ever depicted in movies or in comic books, if its in the hands of Batman it'll probably save the entire city; and if its in the hands of joker, he will probably kill Louis Lane and then Superman goes mad and we all know how that turns out.
They say, "Between thought and action, comes temptation" and the only way you can resist the temptation is by determination. We just have to be clever enough to figure out a way to use it.
Temptation, I believe is a temporary thing. Its like a wave of the sea. If you stand still and plant yourself, its harmless, can't move you an inch and eventually it'll go away and leave you as you were to yourself; but if you let yourself go, it'll drag you to the deep waters. That thing you used to plant your feet down, that is what Determination is.

Hello Readers, Has anyone ever had that moment, where you buy something new and for obvious reasons you don't look at the manual. Then, you start putting it together/ setting it up and all of a sudden you're stuck and you don't know what to do? Then, you're left with a choice, either lose your self respect and take the manual out of and read it, or just struggle with it and hope for the best. That is what i think about life sometimes. I mean, I wouldn't easily do this, but i think I would have definitely picked up the manual by now. That is what I think is the most wrong with this life. I mean we do have it but we don't know what to do with it. "Life is like the horizontal stripes on the aux cable, one doesn't know what it does, but one sure is glad that it makes the sweet-sweet music play." I wish, i knew what to do with my life. I do intend to find out someday. Life is not easy, but worrying about the little things is what makes us pick up ...

Death Dessert theory.

Hello... Readers( which apparently are not many). I have come up with a new theory. I havent thought of a name yet. Maybe i will just tell you the name at the end after explaining to you what it is. On second thought i have named it... "Death Dessert". Cool huh? Explanation. Well, most things that are rare, are expensive. And most things that are expensive are most valuable to us. So rare things are valuable. And most people save the sweetest bite for the end. In other words, most people like their dessert at the end of the meal. Taking these two points under consideration, think about death. Death is rare. It only occurs once in everyone's life. And it comes at the end. After everything. It is the sweetest bite. The dessert of life. Maybe death isnt a bad thing afterall. Maybe death is a bite of sweet dessert after all the sour battering given to you by your whole life. Maybe death is the eternal goal. Who knows? Maybe the dead people cant come back or maybe they d...

What is GOD?

Hell Readers! See that wasn't a typing error. I didn't mean to write "Hello". I wrote, "Hell". Must that mean that I am going to hell? Does that mean I am one of Satan's minions? That's the issue we're dealing with in today's post. I have this theory of why people believe in "GOD". I find it excruciatingly annoying when people talk to me about some superstitious gibberish. I wonder, in all the years since these so called rituals have been going on, not one, not even a single person had the courage to stand up and ask a simple question, "WHY?". My mother once said, "Respect your elders". Fair enough, but i asked why? The only reason they're older than me is because they were born before me. I had nothing to do with that. THEY had nothing to do with that. Why should I respect my elders? All you have to do to be an "elderly person" is 'not die'. All in all, I had to apologize to my mother...
