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.
"Its a shield, if you like, a sword if you want it to be and emptiness if you don't recognize it."

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...

A study in sadness

Hello readers. Recently, I've been observing the sadness in this world. I was wondering How is it that everyone in this world is sad? How can that be? Every person I meet, Everyone I'm related to, all of my friends, every single one of them is sad about something. I just find that exhausting. You see, I believe, sadness is a default state of a human mind. We're all sad, always. It's like the electrons in the valence band of the forbidden energy gap diagram of conductors and semi-conductors. Our minds are always in the valence bond state(The sad state). When we get excited about something and light finally enters our darkness stricken world, we get into the conduction band(The Happy state). This, also provides an apt description of what depression is. It's just the bigger forbidden gap(Like in insulators). For example, a mentally healthy person would have a diagram of a Conductor and a depressed person would have one of an insulator. This would be better described...

The ipod theory

Hey! Readers. Sorry for the late post. But i 've been busy with the "exams". But your wait has resulted in a new theory which i like to call "The ipod theory".         Which states that a person's behaviour/ life can be completely judged by the songs in his/her ipod or music folder. Well you must be thinking how could i possible know this for sure. Well i do. And i am backed by fact. Every person likes to listen to songs that are somehow related to their life and almost 80% of the songs are listened to because of their lyrics. That explains that if you know what kind of songs they are listening to, then you can judge them by the lyrics of those songs. Thats it folks. Till next time.
