Free Will: Myth or reality - Just some half-cooked-half-raw thoughts ...


Its said that God and Devil are playing a game with Human souls as wager ... that there are angels and demons amongst us ... Half borns ... All they do is just whisper into our ears ... the propensity to do great good and evil lies within us ... all that they do is just give us a nudge in one of the direction ...
(courtesy - Constantine movie)



Made me think... If this is so then there is a distorted free will scenario ... That we do everything by making CHOICES OF OUR OWN ... but the push for these choices is given by someone else... Then is that even fair ... That we suffer the consequences of these choices while these choices were actually made by someone else ... Agreed that we might be part to blame for this but but we get the Full burden of the effects.... that's not fair ... 



This would make 'The law of Karma' flawed then ... 



Now, off to another point - 



Do we do everything because we want to ... or is it because we are meant to ... or because someone else wants us to do so ... And do we know that we want something because we want it. 


And what is destiny ... they say that unless its destined not even a leaf can move on its own ... but some say that we make our own destiny .... Some say destiny is nothing ... its just coincidences - but what makes all the coincidences occur, exactly when they have to occur ...



Is there some grand design or is it the case of an absent creator ...


What to believe ... I m confused ...

At that very moment, he would hit the snooze button - so the mobile did not speak again to him for 6 mins.

My First Blog ...

Hello Everyone ... This is your old friend Nick here ... If anyone is thinking that why have I started to blog then here is my answer ... I used to hear that everyone is blogging ... Amitabh Bcchan, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Imran Khan (the Actor ... Don't know 'bout the cricketer), Narain Kartikeyan ... even people like Raghu of Roadies fame. Then I saw that I had a few of my friends that had started blogging too ... I saw this all and thought, "Well ... this is a good way to express yourself (I m not quoting Airtel). If you have something to say and feel anything ... why not keep it out in the open." If anyone wants to say anything then why wait ... JUST SAY IT !!! ... Well this is just the beginning ... Watch out this space for anything from my side ...
