To be or not to be ....THE BELIEVER

Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth of or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. Rain is Pouring heavily the sky is all dark .. There is a cool feeling in the atmosphere as I listen to the sweet tune of a Sax... "Smooth jazz" .. There is not much to do as the plans of re-opening of "Gator Nights ", seems bleak as the pour is sweeping all the plans into the drain .. There is thunder but this thunder is not strong enough ..... As I sit here in the corner of my room , A thought enters my mind .. Who is a Believer ?? Am I a believer , Is the person staying in my neighbourhood a believer .. Is Jack a Believer .. Is the guy handing down small pamphlets with cartoons of Bible a believer .. Is the Temple Priest the guy or is it the guy holding the cross in the church .. How about the mother who feeds her child or the father who does not find work today to feed his family a believer .. Is the citizen of Zimbabwe a believer or the guy who looks for some news of his missing brother on a plane crash a believer . Is a gambler a believer or the producer and the actor who have a movie worth 100 crore at stake are believers . Is Barrack Obama a believer or was Bush a Believer .. who among these !! If all these guys are believers then there is nothing to worry .. there are people believing and they have faith and the whole world is following, but if they do not then where is the faith and who do you look at to find the lost faith . There are so many truths in life , that are known and some are not known to us ...The problem is man does not the want or care about the truths that are already known .. he wants to know about the things he has not faced yet .. In this post I would like to tell about a real life experience that just came along some days ago .. Being in America has its own way or take on Religion .. Here they wont come out in the open and launch "civil wars" , curfews and Dangas to make their point ..They will not start a riot and kill people and harm Nation's property to make their point since they know that if they do so , They will be brought to justice in no time and this is not allowed by their government , I respect this fact .. but sometime else on these thoughts .. Here they get their way by things called Baptism, converting and making you come their way .... This is there way to make you be on their way or is it ?? The guy came to me and handed me a copy of something which had a label " where are you .. you are away from God and god wants you to be with him" .. He asked me if I am a christian .. I said that no I am not .. I am a Hindu but it does not matter . He asked me what I know about Christ .. I told him that he was born in Jerusalem and lot of other things .. He asked me a weird questions that I was not much prepared for .. he asked me, Do you know he died because of our sins .. I said how can he die because of my sins when I was not even born when He died . He said that is the fact since our sins are not just of this life .. I said I do not believe in things like this since I do not know about the death of Jesus or nor do I have proof in his birth .. I believe in things that I see .. He asked me do you see electricity , I said no I don't but I do see things happening due to electricity .. I said it is a form of energy only that is got from earth itself .. he said "ya and god is making all these things happen and also he is the one who has given the earth all this energy". I said how can you say that Jesus is the only God .. Have you seen Jesus .. He said "ya this is where faith comes in" I said "I have not seen electricity but you know What, things such as you charging batteries , your appliances and your house is running on that only .. but where does Jesus come into all that .. He is not making all this happen ..since I have not heard about Jesus in any of the Journals that I read" .. He said "you do not have faith then " .. I said "I have Faith in the universal being who has the answers to all the questions that are left unanswered but yes I do not have faith on "Jesus" .. I do not have faith on something which you will force me to have faith on .. A person will never have faith on something you ask him to do without telling him why he is going to do all that.. he will never be a believer when you force something on him .. If you are making him a follower by fear of damnation and all that "holy crap ", then there is not a bigger sinner than you .. This is my take on being "The Believer" .. I want people to come up with their takes .. Believing by the way does not mean that you have faith on god ..There are different kinds of faith .. you can have faith on an ideology , you can have faith on a particular way of living life , you can be a person who is against a certain belief .. these are the different ways you could have faith ..The children have different ways to keep their faith alive . When I was a kid , I believed in reading stories . I use to read and enjoy my comics and Fairy tails by Enid blyton and mysteries by Agatha Christie .. Ya there were children in my times , who use to enjoy reading Tinkle , Asterix,Tintin and Hardy Boys ... Ahhhh Those were the times .... but why did we enjoy something because somehow our subconscious made us think that these things were happening somewhere and pixies , goblins and elves did exist and someday somewhere in some part of old England or Ireland .. we will meet them .. and this is what made us read the fairy stories .. we idolised some heroes and believed in them .. we had faith in our characters and thus we followed them .. As the innocence of childhood faded the faith also began to change .. you give a 30 year old guy , loving and understanding a Enid Blyton to read .. he will smack your face and call you insane .. It is just that his faith has changed .. His beliefs are different now .. He is more practical and thinks that the way he thinks and the things He believes in are more real now and are related to him ... But what is real ??? what is the Definition of reality ?? The newborn does not know what is real .. we are the people telling him a particular thing is real and the other thing as it to us is fantasy . We are the ones who tell him to believe something and we are ones who tell him what is not there and has to discarded .. But who has given us or our Fore-fathers or their forefathers .. to brainwash minds ... Can you imagine the generations of make believes that have been done till now may be thousands and thousands of years .. we are made to have faith on something that we hear about , that we listen about and that we read about only .. We are not having any thought of our own .. so where do we get our faith from .. whom do we go to know what is the actual truth ... A guy asked me once " Why is a electron called a electron , and why a proton called a proton " Somebody named it so and "what is a positive charge " My answer to that was .. it is positive to something negative .. but the question is wrong itself .. what do you mean by positive itself .. Is it something that attracts , is it something which is same as you in characteristics , behaviour ...what is it then ??? Okk Coming back to faith .. Different ways people believe things .. Its just that people are interested and are drawn towards things which they have faith in .. Like lets say you choose a profession .. It is always and always true that a person almost always tries to choose a profession which is most easy to get and always gives him the highest pay . There are some idealistic people who choose a profession to Help the earth and save the Mankind .. but the thing is that finally you are choosing a profession because it is making you happy .. because you have faith that someday this profession will make you fulfill your main goal that is to make you happy and satisfied .. this is how you find faith in the profession you choose ... I will continue this .. please comment !!!
