thoughts

Of all the thoughts that bog my mind is about man who concerns me the most. What if it is not the way the way it is? Ofcourse I must seek forgiveness for uttering this. Whether it is because I am taken to look into things in this way that I see things as they are, I do not know. However, it is also a fact that these thoughts do seriously haunt my mind of and on. Perhaps E. M. Forster’s idea to “connect” or “broad heartedness” is a solution to this pestilence. Still I think there must be something behind all these “muddle”.
Be it in a family, within a house, even among the near and dear ones, or friends there is always a hidden motive. There are masks and disguises, deception, treachery, lie, fraud and so on. Has it anything to do only because man by birth is selfish? Will the contrary be a value judgement? But flipping a few pages of history will give enough reasons against this theory. And without which we must not have ever been able to see this day—the progress humanity has made. Even if the progress is often unidirectional in several ways, there are instances like Netaji, Gandhiji, Albert Einstein,… who lived entirely for the wellbeing of man.
Contrary to this is human relationship. At least is seems so. Why? Are we bearing Adam’s Sin on our shoulder? Is human relationship a myth? When will we be redeemed? Will anyone come to lead us there? How long do we need to wait?
