Why can’t people think rationally?
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010
Yesterday there was this news about a god-man trampling infants to cure them. Everyone thinks, what are the parents of these infants doing? Then think back and look back, most of them might be quite uneducated. What do individuals who are educated do ? In our small city for eg. there was a decision recently made by well known and “very educated” because most of these are doctors and professors, the decision to build a “temple” which would also house a community center. I so wished they would come up with the idea of just a community center, where cultural activities could take place [to me culture need not necessarily be related to religion or need not be related at all to religion]. But no, that wasn’t. This is a huge disappointment to me. There is another aspect that everyone has in general. Be proud of where they are from blah blah. You should not be proud of where you are from, you need to be proud of what you are, what you are made up of, what you think, not where you are from, what religion you belong to, what country you belong to, what culture you belong to, what language you speak . As long as people have, this aspect, people of the world cannot be one. There will always be this separation. On the one hand we are promoting everything to separate people by building “temples” obviously one way of separating people with religion, on the other hand, doing community sings to show everyone is one, people are same. That is so contradictory and what is defined as hypocrisy. In a world without religion, we can let current places of worship be museums for the next generation to see what it was in the past.But that is a world that is far far away.
