The Path

The path that leads to Him
the same gets to Me
The truth I am oblivious to
The path lets me See

I am the awake and
And I dream
And I slip into the
deepest sleep

All the Three I's
they just appear
But always
One they are

The one who illuminates
the other Three
one by one as the
time pass by

I got the truth
when I see
All of the three
in front of me

The path that leads to Him
the same gets to Me
The truth I am oblivious to
The path lets me See

Why can't we avoid having "badness" in the world?


Is it possible to have everyone in world being good? Why can't we avoid having badness in the world?

For answering this question, we need to know how people turn to be bad or good. Because, by birth every person is a neutral character. One's character is the product of his/her unique identity. A person’s identity comprises of the qualities that he/she is known for. Identity is how the surrounding people characterize him/her. An individual develops his/her identity during his youth, and it is highly affected by the characters attributed to that person very often by the surrounding people. Hence, source of bad people is the creation of bad identities, by repeatedly pointing to bad qualities in a person.

Take a very simple example. In a house there are few children. All of them will not show same interests, same traits and values. If they do so, there won’t be separate identities but natural tendency in humans is to get unique identities. It is very natural for the family members to compare the children. If a boy is consistently termed as 'good', he will focus investing his time in good work, and hence, gradually become a good person. But, others who are comparatively bad, get constant feedback as to being bad. As a result of repetitive comparison, few of them acquire an identity of being good, few as bad, few as intelligent, few as hard working etc. 

Once a person gets an identity by repeatedly highlighting a quality, he will continue to grow that quality. This is irrespective of if the resulting identity is good or bad. A person termed as bad again and again, gradually possesses identity as bad and finally turn into a “real” bad person. It is the same for good people. If repeatedly a person's good qualities are highlighted, he/she will tend to stick to good habits. This is more true during the age when the identities are getting formed.

How can all folks on earth be 'termed as good', so that with the positive identity, and in effect, they all get full motivation to become good? This is possible if there are few more earths, and intelligent beings there and they compare and tell that 'people on earth are good'. If this kind of message is passed again and again to mankind on earth, all people on earth can become good. But, this is almost impossible.

Another possible way is stop comparing people. We just appreciate good qualities of each person, which is almost not possible. Hence, it is a good idea, to accept the fact the badness is part of the society. We can only device mechanisms to have a constant check on that and apply remedies.

Self Worth and its Importance

One's worth in his own eyes is the only thing that can influence what he gets. Let us call this worth as self worth.
We all think superfecially, we are worthy of everything. But, at lower levels of one's self, the self worth has limits. As guilts accumulate within oneself, gradually, his worth in his own eyes starts deteriorating in a lower level of subconsciousness.
It is also possible that, one accumulates prospor much more than self worth. But then, either he won't be able to enjoy what he got, or his worth deteriorates drastically after enjyoing it.
Why are so many people not able to utilize the good opportunities ahead of them, and why some others do..? People don't utilize a good opportunity because, they dont feel that they are worth of its outcome.
Why all rich men are not happy? This is because, while they think that they are worth of richness, they mayn't feel they are worth of happiness. Thier self worth for happiness may deteriorate, when they accumulate a sense of sin during the accumulation of richness.
So, how to get the worth? With no bar to religion and beliefs what gives a worth to any person, is his view on how much he has contributed to evolution. More reasons he has for thinking that he has contrbuted to evolution, more he deservers.
With culture and religion in mind, more and more so called 'sin's one does, his worth deteriorates. 'What is Sin' only depends on belief. An adivasi thinks that, killing a cobra is OK if it is done for self-defense, there is no sin accumulation. He will still consider him to be of same worth after killing a cobra. Consider a situation when the same action is performed by a hindu, who believes that killing cobra for any reason is a sin. After killing the cobra, he starts thinking that he has sinned. Hence self worth decreases. Beliefs are bound to the nervous system. Something worth of quoting here is 'anyone can forgive your sin, but not your nervous system'.
So, increasing worth in our own eyes should be the only motto of life, the rest will follow according to the accumulated self worth.
