Why this blog?


In some ways the whole human species feels like a big experiment - they have enough intelligence to collectively achieve amazing things - for example the ability to look back nearly as far as the beginning of the universe or go into space or figure out the formulas that define the laws of the universe. And then they exhibit such primordial behaviours - killing their own with no remorse on some irrelevant belief or giving into their most basic instincts at great cost to themselves, to their loved ones and to society. It really feels like human beings have the potential within them to become anything between an angel to a demon or anything in between, or an unlikely concoction of the two under different circumstances! So how do we come to grips with this reality and realize the full human potential? The aim of this blog is to capture a series of experiences and thought processes that I have gone through that have helped me reconcile the world as well as the often conflicting belief systems we see around us. The best way to read this blog is from start to finish, as it builds on previous posts and is meant to take the reader on a journey rather than through random thoughts. Also , my own thought processes were either influenced or highlighted by the hyper-linked external references  - so they are strongly recommended.
