But well, my silly little question is, Is this how all faith originates. Hindu mythology makes it obvious. Anything not explainable by Early Man is a god. Wind, water, rain and lightning, birth, death, the ground on which i stand, all converted into Gods. But couldn't it be the necessity of these components that made them sacred. Personified as God? Well, i can happily say here, "I DON'T KNOW". The answer harvard scholars gives when asked which of Anchilles' heels was injured by the arrow. Stupid example. I'm sorry. Well as time drifts pass me, I look back at all the good things this world has offered me. The cold morning, the rainy days, the pleasant night. Then i think of the great things that came across my life, my friends, my lovers, my family, Gajini (Aamir still has the charm!) Well, i didn't really think on this, then again sometimes thinking is simply overrated. Well, till if God permits (alas! a confession!) till next time.

When Darkness Falls
Why are we scared of the dark? What's there in its dark womb that we fear? Is it the fear of the unknown. The vigour with which humans i.e. us hate and fear anything, ANY LITTLE thing that we cannot explain. And if it is not fear then it is an offshot. Reverence. Respect. Sacred understanding of a thing misunderstood. Am i crazy? To challenge beliefs. To explain faith? To be so arrogant as to stand upto God and say. "Look man (please note: Man isn't sexual preference, it just makes me look a bit sane) I got nothing against you but let's face it you are a misunderstanding" Well if i'm right well this ain't gonna happen anytime soon. But well, my silly little question is, Is this how all faith originates. Hindu mythology makes it obvious. Anything not explainable by Early Man is a god.
