Religion

Physicist and Nobel prizewinner Stephen Weinberg describes religion as an insult to human dignity. ‘Without it,’ he says, ‘you’d have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, it takes religion.’

What if!

I was sitting on my couch and thinking of absolutely nothing. I am only away few sentences from finishing my thesis correction. I have done major corrections and I need to go through few minor corrections. It is only matter of few hours! But I can’t work tonight! I can’t do anything tonight! I am hibernated! My brain is frozen and is not working! So I put my thesis side. Nothing interesting on TV, not even a fifth class Hollywood movie! Then I decided to take shower. May be it helps, but it didn’t. So again on the couch and staring on switched off TV. Then I remembered my earlier conversation with AMN. What if the world was different? No, the world is fine, I believe! What if people of the earth were different? What if people were more friendly, more trustful and honest? Why we can’t trust each other? Why we abuse our friends? Why few of us are working so hard and the rest doing nothing? I know we are not perfect and even if we were perfect then the life was so boring. But I think we could use our talent and power to do more positive and constructive things than destroying each other! We could do many things and anybody could be part of it. But everyday we see people lying and hurting each other. People are becoming more and more selfish. We know that we can’t reach out objectives without others but we do not respect their objectives and ideas. We just want to reach our targets by the cheapest way in the shortest time! What if all people I knew and I met were still here and I could trust them!

PS There is a good movie on TV and I have to go!
