Human being is not created to be a machine. Human being is a creature that is endowed with freedoms, rights, choices and free wills too. It is not possible to make one to have faith or make one think to go in certain manner unless and otherwise tat given person has willed. It is possible to force and put certain pressure, but it is not possible to change what one thinks in one’s deep inside and try to create certain catastrophic matters in one’s reality, which is not possible at this stage and time of history of this world.
To think and to believe are two different aspects of our life as human being i9nwhich thinking dictate our belief or faith, and vice versa too. When thinking exceeds the amount of faith one has in deep inside, doubt germinate s in one’s being and questions everything and the type or the amount of fait one established in one’s being. When faith or belief exceeds the amount of thinking, superstitious and irrational thinking takes the place and make the system of belief or one’s faith to be unrealistic and complicated which could create other complications and distortion in one’s being.
When thinking and faith are in balance, certitude and certainty germinates in one’s being. However, is it possible to have certitude in this world in any matter unless and otherwise one has certain grounds like scientific experimentations in many aspects of life in which one has proved certain matters with practical experimentations? This is still a question to all. Although thee are mysterious aspects of life in this world which are true and correct and cannot be proven due to in adequacy of human achievements and limitations of the tools in the laboratory, which are very relative, subjective, personal and contextual too. Such aspects of our life are subjected to manipulations and deception in which many are tricked due to the nature of such subjects and matters.
In this regard, it is possible to create certain spaces in form of systems of belief in which certain communities have come with systematic approach to accommodate such gaps and spaces in thus world and formulated certain society, but this does not mean that they are complete, perfect, infallible and absolute. They are useful to certain extent, but they are not useful when the moment one hits certain ceiling which is beyond what they have put as the final point or stage since one cannot find answers to the quest one has. In this case, one enters to a different city and stage of search which can be found on personal basis and could be useful to others when they share same pain and quests too.
Therefore, to be stead fast in wrong places is tantamount to blind imitations, and shuts the power of quest and rational faculties in which one lives with utter confusions and contradiction. In this case, one prefers t ascend to better realm by residing in the valley of search in this world in which quest is a reality and a thinking that has no end point and one lives with wonder, research, investigations and appreciation of the world by unraveling different mysteries which are not revealed to one thru the volition and choices and efforts one makes in life and thus the doors of answers are always opened when one opens the gates of questions. And it is opt possible to expect answers from individuals or whatever book revealed to date as they are useful, but all re subjective, relative and incomplete. One asks and one finds answers in different ways and methods too.
One of the interesting aspect of our life as human being is belief and thinking in which thinking dictate our belief and faith and the vice versa too. They are like chicken and egg story in which it is formidable to tell which comes first unless history and anthropology provides certain clues, in which both have failed to date regarding such aspect of human reality except the vague perceptions, and due to ignorance of the subject matter they have. They do not have the grasp of the origin of human history and the evolutionary aspects except mere speculations they deliver to date.
Whatever explanations is delivers on such aspect of life what we know up to date is that they are interrelated and interconnected aspects of life in which thinking has an impact on our belief and our belief systems and vice versa too. When thinking overrides faith or belief, doubt germinates in one’s reality and destroys the faith or belief one has established and constructed for years. Thus many people are scared to think outside the box and they are careful in what they think since they are scare. Fear is another threat people have in such connections and interrelations since they are shaped or threatened the consequences of thinking n the world of faith or belief.
To think needs capacity while living in the world of belief. Belief in most cases handicap and paralyze the worlds of thinking in which it asks one to shun the power of reason. It makes one to think in certain perspective and direction and whatever things that exist outside the box is set is considered as repugnant and useless. Thus they live in paradox and confusions when the moment one hits certain aspect of life contrary to what is set within the box. For example, I tell you to have system of belief that state, both man and women are equal, humanity is one; and again I ask you that there is a system governing my belief system, which are called the leaders and I ask you to be obedient to such people. I again ask you that women are not elected on the leadership status. What a contradiction and confusion inhere in which belief system dictate the thinking aspect of one’s life in here?
While talking about such aspects of life, there are certain belief systems tat are set on the stage to date, they are useful to humanity to date and they shape one’s reality to certain extent; they offer certain perspective and direction, but they are not complete, absolute and perfect. In this regard, one takes the good from them, and fills the rest and unanswered questions and quest of life thru different mechanism and other aspects of life. Life has always certain vacuums at any given age, and one fills such gaps and vacuums according tow hat this world has delivered and provided and with other mechanism which one is to come about in the processes of life. Life is not and cannot be complete in whatever age, whatever situation and condition one lives. What mater in here is the perspective in filling such vacuums and incompleteness of life which vary from individuals, societies, institutions and the like?
Thus, the idea of freedom, free will, choice, rights and the like affect our belief and thinking models one is to come about and thus individuals have the right to exercise such natural and imposed matters which are limited and unlimited under certain circumstances, which are relative and subjective and their manifestations to the outward reality are dependent upon the social setting one lives in.
