Who has the right?

We human are most privileged to use this planet in our own rights and we tend to believe that all we have in this earth to be consumed by humans and therefore we could exploit it. But in fact we have the same and equal right with tiny ants, termites and all the other creatures and they also have the same right as we are.
Maybe we might call ourselves most advanced and compassionate species on earth. But in fact we are the most lethal and cruellest animal living on this planet.
Because we have larger brains and so called intelligent, we tend to brutally dominate this world, taken way other creature’s right to exist and gradually destroying this beautiful planet.
We have false belief that we are trying to support the existence of other species in this planet by conserving them, but in reality we are trying to protect it from our own distraction.
Just because we are the most advanced creatures in this planet, do we have more right to do anything? Can we kill other creatures and use them for our own benefit?
How about if there is another even more advanced and intelligent creatures suddenly came in to existence and decide that they will take us to end up in their dinner plate?

Punishment or Revenge..!


We all in almost every society accept the fact that punishment is a must for any criminal.
But if you try to search the root of this, can’t you see that the punishment is a way of revenge? Ideally the punishment should be a way of preventing the crime happening again. The death penalty should only apply to people who cannot be corrected. In other words, who cannot be rescued or salvaged.
If you see the analogy for the society as an electronic or mechanical system, criminals could be represented as bad or malfunctioning parts. Then, when a part is malfunctioning, what do you do? Try to repair it. If it doesn’t work or if it is beyond repair, we remove it or destroy it.
Similarly, punishment should be a way of repairing or destroying if it is to be in total efficiency.
OK! Now we know what the punishment should be!
Therefore, the best punishment for any crime is a way of rectifying the problematic or malfunctioning mind.
Accordingly, in absolute sense, the criminal should be clearly convinced that it is a crime and shouldn’t do. That means the criminals mid should be brought up to the level of a law-abiding citizen’s mind. Or if it cannot be done, destroy the criminal. In other words we must repair the circuit component or destroy the useless component. Or may be it can be used for other suitable areas useful.

Conclusion: Best punishment is making the offender purely convinced that the crime is wrong and when this is beyond repair, use him for other useful purposes or destroy him if it’s not worth even in that level.

I know the reality doesn’t work this way as long as we have feelings play a major role in making the society.

What is Good?

Well..There is not exact or “right” way to decide good or bad. If we take this question beyond all the attachments and dependencies, there is no such a thing as good or bad.
This “good” concept is purely subjective. Good depends on the point of observation. The beneficiary from an action can accept the outcome as good.
A man eating tiger can accept the killing a human as good. We cannot prove it otherwise, unless we take the human’s point of view or compassionate view. If you take these two out, killing a human could feel no different from feeling like falling a fruit from a tree.
In the absolute sense, everything is part of the nature. But neither good nor bad!

But, as a society or as a human we can generally categorize “good” in to the four below,

1. Universal good - Save someones life
2. Personal good – personal preferences
3. Conventional good – Agreed according to Law etc. in common interests.
4. Cultural good – depends on background beliefs etc.

World is Everything..!

World is everything! In a time it is funny and beautiful, and another time it is weird crazy and cruel or any word you could use to explain it. Always that is true! That is why I see “The world is everything!”

What is Beauty? A Function of Mind..?


Why a flower is beautiful? A woman is attractive to a man, animals attract to opposite sex etc, we all know, this is not a new concept. These all down to the default configuration of our brain! Functions of mind!!

Well.. if so, can we imagine why few others love some strange things and habits? Are hey having wrongly configured programs in their brains?
But you know, who is right? We majority programmed to work similarly therefore, can we call we are right and others are wrong?
Funny! Isn’t it?

This That and the Other..

Never ending this that and the other things to do in an average persons life. We do start all those things since the time we barely started to walk as a toddler and keep doing things in our lives until we get very old and ready to die!
But all those things we do, what's for? Just for nothing at all!
We come empty handed and do things, this that and the others and we go empty handed. Perhaps you might say, "That's life!".
But is that all? and is that enough? can we truly be satisfied with that?

This, That and the other all but Nothing...! Useless and Empty...!!
