My recent post talks about truth and now again I am writing about it. Yesterday I went to Church with a friend of mine and after that I went to his place. There we watched Da Vinci Code together and quite obviously it raised several questions in my mind.
His father is an education counsellor and is just a right person to talk and look for answers. One of the things stated by him really surprised me and helped me understand a fact that most of us have been ignoring, that is “Truth is exclusive”, which means that if anything relating to something is true then anything else is not, for example if I am a boy then definitely I am not a girl, if it is day outside then it cannot be night. More importantly all of us have developed an attitude and believe that truth is not exclusive. We have stopped repenting from things that are wrong, we are loosing our own opinion and building an opinion that suit others.
Truth is exclusive and it is a universal fact that is also an elementary principle for leading a good life.
Just watched a movie Water by Deepa Mehta and I could not stop my self from writing into my diary. The movie talks all about how widow females in India are facing troubles surviving.
Watching this movie raised several questions in my mind like who governs what is right and what is wrong. In the hands of society, customs and culture we have become so caged that we have lost our own sense of right and wrong. Even if I wish to, I cannot listen to what my heart is trying to say me but the worst part is several of us are even not trying to listen.
May it be fashion or may it be our definitions, almost everything is being governed by standards set by somebody else.
Its really surprising that knowingly or unknowingly we keep on following set patterns of thoughts like slave of something that is not known.
A statement from movie that highly touched me was
“GOD is not the truth but the truth is GOD itself“
