Better be "The Curious" !!!
“Faith means not wanting to know what the truth is”, quoted a German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. Faith should be rewarding and not disappointing. Blindly trusting anyone or anything no matter in what context that may be, is complete foolishness unless you know them far too much. I personally think that the only person being the most qualified to be completely trusted is YOU. Yes, it’s not God, it is you. Why is that people are so keen and ignorant in believing something that is non-existent rather than the things that are scientifically and logically proven? People who come out of the box to raise this question of arrogance (as some people may call it as such) belong to one type of static entity in this world. We call them Atheists.
Coming to an equal and the opposite side of Atheists, let us consider a chimpanzee, not because its DNA patterns and ours match by 95%, it’s that it has less questioning and cognitive skills than humans and it’s just some random animal I could think of. Chimpanzees don’t understand the way a tube light works even if you try to explain. Apparently, in the chimpanzee’s world a glowing tube light is an object that is bright when looked at, nothing more, and nothing less. Compare chimpanzees to humans and God to the light bulb. We can’t understand the way of God. He is Omnipotent and some believe him to be the ultimate creator of each and every atom in this world. People who accept this totally absurd statement blindly belong to the other type of static entity. They are called Thiests. I am neither trying to promote theism nor talk ill of it, just trying to answer the most basic question that may possibly arise while reading this.
Now that we know of the two extremities in this world, there is something that we are missing out. There are always things that do not fall under any classification or sub-division or anything what-so-ever. The dynamic entity, people who are uncertain of what they believe in, include three types of people, the reluctant (the ones who don’t care about any beliefs and principles), the ignorant (the ones who just take things as they come and do what others ask of them to do), and the curious (the ones who remain silent to observe things that happen around them on the urge to know more). Neglect the first two kinds; it’s unlikely of them to participate in these kinds of argument. Consider the third kind, the curious ones or in this case the neutral ones. A perfectly balanced system is highly unlikely to be thought of because it’s because of the curious ones change begins. Change is something that occurs in an imbalanced system because of the rapid increase in the principles and actions of either of the two extremities. You are not allowed to judge a show if you are a participatant. That would be completely absurd. You have two choices, Theism and Atheism. You always lose something when you pick a choice. Go with Theism and you lose practicality, and if you go with Atheism you lose spirituality. What if I say there is a third one? A choice that makes you skip the necessity of picking either of the two choices. The choice that is not considered as a choice and which makes you stand nowhere but at the centre making you look at the two extremities on both your sides with fascination and awesomeness, that is “Staying out of the show”. Remain neutral, observe the happenings, arrive at pros and cons but instead of picking a side apply the pros to your life and repeat the process from the beginning once the change occurs. That is smartness. Better be the curious!!
