"The world is a play and we all are its actors". But the stage seems to be too big for anybody to watch the play. The stage steals the show. And the act itself becomes barely interesting. Its funny how we still put ourselves in the center of the universe. We want God to be in a Human form. We want ourselves to be in paradise once we are dead. We want St Peter or somebody like that to keep count of the 'bad guys' so that they wont be allowed in our paradise. In short still we simply want the world to revolve around us, just like the universe revolved around Earth before Copernicus.
It bothers me that what people believes and said to be true are all set to comfort themselves. To give us comfort from the morbid fear of the emptiness of unknown. We are twisting the unknown to comfort ourselves or to make ourselves feel better, it seems. That is the not the way it works. The theory should be according to the facts. If not a change is eminent.
Most of the people gets afraid when they are dark and alone. The fear of the dark. The phobia that something is always there. There is an interesting question that why does someone get afraid of the dark. Actually its not the darkness that scares them but the idea that they don't have any idea of what lies ahead. What is unknown is scary to most of the people. So someone manipulates it all, and make of fantastic stories about what could be out there and make themselves believe that. Others who are not that bothered to think about it embraces em and in the end everyone ends up believing the stories.
The fear is lost when 'he' becomes fascinated and curious about what lies out there in the dark. Once he steps into it he will no more be seen by anyone who stayed back. He disappears. Then he will be having two choices, either to go on until he can and find out everything for himself, or to come back and tell others what he had seen till then. If he chooses the first he may be be long forgotten, but god knows what all, and how much he did find. If he, the philanthropist chooses the second option, he may become an emissary of God, for he posses the knowledge that people lacks. He becomes the prophet, the symbol. But at some point we forget that he was just a symbol who stood for that knowledge that we call God. We are supposed to worship the idea, not the dude..
There is a game i played sometime back called "china.. something"(i forgot). Its about passing a word to the next person and he/she passes to their neighbor what they had heard. No repeats of the words are allowed. The last person should say the word out loud to the one who created it. It is amazing that the chances of hearing the original word after it passes through a small crowd itself is minimal! A 'cow' can become a 'log', a 'Cop' becomes 'stop', 'Gladiator' becomes 'glad he ate her'!!! :D The same thing happens to what our 'MAN' said. In the end, a few crazy fucks might blow up a neighborhood in its name. See the dangers of a mere communication gap!
This is my belief. Every one is free to believe what they want. There is one more thing i believe in. That is to look closely into what you ought to believe. Many things shatters when looked upon close enough. Very few stands the test and they are the ones to be believed in. It is a world of well camouflaged lies out there. If everyone looked close enough, It would have been a lot more cool.
Understand is a word that is not very much understood.

Isn't change eminent when we do something either by will or by representation.
So imagining there is something out there to get you in a dark room is not something different but a flip of the coin. so it comes that we use our mind to imagine/represent something that is not there, which in reality also gives us sadness proving world is a really,really, nasty buggy place to be in . no wonder, some cool guy told, survival is the mantra which both saint and sinners crave for.
we can't say we are purely imagining even when we are unable to see the true reality, but it is just that we are representing it based on whtever physical and psychic conditions.
If we take it that world is the worst place as it could be ( some dude named Arthur Schopenhauer, has given a wonderful reasoning )
like as in a paddy field or as a base law of nature, weeds can be allowed to grow , but it shouldn't be able to extinct the entire and itself together. destroying itself , is also the third possibility, which is there for your 2 possibilities,as i represent it.
As WE say , world is not so a 'good' place to be in , we can't trust every human being whose idea of surviving will be right. And we need to verify it sometimes to know what we know , tht is to find the reason in our inevitably 'linked' life . even the pessimistic or negative things to which we constantly anger upon are there just because we link to it in some way .
Yea, buddy , understood is really 'misunderstood' , but the fight in reality is between who sets off to disprove/prove his own representations.
But the 2 possibilities you mentioned , of going way and not able to tell others how far he has been able to help he world survive,
for it. wiki.)
