A Religious Web of Intrigue.

When you are young like everyone there is a restless energy and you get carried away by society and seek out the purpose, understanding and meaning for life like the flock. Often the little things that happen on the way like disappointment, separation from loved ones dark themes like war and violence disillusion you and you feel alienated and grasp the straw of religion in the hope of salvation. All faiths take you through the oft trodden narrow garden path of religious obscurity. Your mind may struggle amongst the opposing elements and conflicts between your individual conscience versus the conditioned collective belief that will be thrust on you. Religious ideology always tends to scorn and savage any opposing faiths – there is more intense dislike among the religious of other religions and faiths that is not their own. Isn’t it strange that all religions staunchly proclaim to spread God’s love, compassion, tolerance, truth and wisdom but are rudely dishonest and do not accept or include other ideas or viewpoints, or beliefs? This single minded narrow focus with the benevolent seal of enlightened verification is the line of Rubicon that is transgressed to create a fine madness. Criticizing viciously each religion announces with messianic fervor that theirs is the only path guaranteed by divine intervention - this then is a sort of malevolent road that leads one to a sort of road to perdition it can transform you into a lunatic or fanatic- as it leaves great areas of ignorance in its wake. Break away shun all these paths and take the road less traveled – unleash your heart and mind from these fetters and row away for the adventure called life. As you travel like a tourist in this universe- exploring the vast Gopi desert of knowledge stretching from China to Mongolia, or trek along the mountains of Baracoa, you will encounter ups and downs and your view of life changes all the time - and you will understand and knowingly embrace the acceptance of harsh reality. Follow the rainbow colors of life but remember there is no pot of gold at the end and you are free to create your own reality. –Vinay-
