One is all and all is one

Ever wondered what one is all and all is one means. An anime taught me the meaning. All is the world and I am the one. When you hear it sounds deep and heavy even the meaning is intriguing. And it is. The world is a whole entity while you’re just a part of this entity who contributes to it. In however small a way it is. Its not like the world would seize to exist without you but you definitely need the world to continue. Simply put you need the world the world doesn’t need you.
Think about it this way. Like how ed and al put it simply.
When you die….what happens? Obviously the people who care about you will be really sad and the people who know you too. Your presence, or lack of it here, would have an impact on all these people’s life. In one way or the other they’d be reminded of you and it would make a difference in their life. This is looking at it subjectively.
But if you look at it objectively…..your death would definitely have an impact on their life and ways. But as time passes by they’ll put it by. After all life must go on. You can’t stop living just because someone you care about isn’t with you anymore. You can cry about it but it’s a reality. A fact you just have to accept.
Now look at it from the world’s point of view. When you die nothing changes. What happens everyday will continue. The sun’s still going to rise, the wind’ll blow and there’ll be floods. When you die your body, made of carbon, iron, magnesium, sodium, all go back to the earth the composition doesn’t change.
On one hand the small world that you’re a part of is totally torn apart but on the other hand the world at large….well nothing changes there, not even if you’re the president or the prime minister of the country. Life goes on for everyone, your absence doesn’t stagnate it.
You have people telling you that even one person and his smallest action can change the world, the way it thinks. But then you have this where your absence or presence makes any difference. The composition remains the same. So do we really make a difference in the world?

Thin or fat???

What do you ask someone when you meet them after a long time?How are you or How have you been maybe?Well here's the latest trend,you don't ask any such thing what you do say is -"Have you lost weight?" or "Have you put on weight since the last time I saw you?".Even J K Rowling,of Harry Potter fame,was faced with the same situation after meeting someone after a long time the first thing the person asked her is "Have you lost weight?"
You'd think there are more important things in life than just weight issues unless you're a hundred kilos and can't get through a door.Every single person no matter how old or young seems to be caught up in this giving it the name that we're trying to get fit.And now with various beauty clinics coming up everyone is actually taking the next step and going to these places to become "thin".
The million dollar question here is-"How thin is thin?"You have emaciated zero size models with waists thinner than an eight year old strutting down the runway for designers in various fashion shows.Its ridiculus!These models cannot be called human even their faces don't look remotely human.They look like sucked up potatoes.With arma and legs like the withered branch of some tree.
You feel pity everytime you look at them.Like they've not had anything to eat for the past few years or can't afford money to evn buy food!And to think people would be sensible not to follow in the footsteps of these so called 'models'.You see so many young girls trying to look like these glorified 'models' and ending up in the hospital with anemia and various other food disorders.
I know a certain someone with a 24 inch waist line who thinks she's fat!Can it get any more ridiculus than this?And everytime she spots someone thinner than her she goes off about how fat she is.So much so that she cuts down on eating food and ends up falling sick.
Everyone thinks dieting is the best thing in the world.You have the zone diet,the south beach diet,the protein diet and what not.And with various celebrities endorsing it people follow them.Celebrities are different they have stylists,nutrionists,dieticians and chefs doing everything for them.They waited on from head to toe but a normal person can follow these diets.
All you need to do is play a sport and drink lots of water thats all you need to stay healthy but we have models and celebrities with body mass index less than 18 advising people to follow the diet they are.Inspite of two models dying and experts saying that its not healthy to go on crash diets people take their chance and suffer.
So the question is are we all trying to get fit or thin(read sick)?

Revenge

Love and hatred...peace and war...In either case the latter seems to take priority while taking decisions.Its incredible how people seem to think that revenge is a very justifiable excuse to all their actions(crimes).It doesn't matter to what lenghts they may have to go to fulfill their desire for revenge and its extremely appalling how people find ways and means of turning the small instances as motives for their revenge and nurture hatred.
It doesn't matter to them what the consequences of their action might be.They find momentary satisfaction when they see the fruits bourne by their hatred.It seems like they lose all their capacity to think and understand anything in a calm and rational way.They always seem to think that revenge will see to it that everthing is squared.
There's an anime "Girl from Hell".Its about how the "Hell Girl" takes revenge for you and takes the person you want revenge from to hell forever.For this to happen you have to access the hotline to hell website at midnight and enter the name of the person you want revenge from.Then the "Hell Girl" comes and gives you a black straw doll with a red string tied around its neck.She tells you that if you pull the string the person who's tormenting you will immediately be taken to hell.But she also warns you that since she's doing this for you need to make a payment to her and so when you die you will be taken to hell immediately and you will stay there forever not knowing what paradise is like.(Please don't try any of this stuff.You could get me into trouble if you do :) )
But think of it...... is it really worth pulling that string?Even if it would mean that the person you hate would go to hell; because you end up in the same place as the person so in a way doesn't it make you just like the person.When you can't handle the torture here on earth do you think you could when your in hell and when its for eternity?I'm no genius but even I know that eternity is a long long time.Is it really worth it?Vengence is one thing but can you live with yourself knowing you sent someone to hell and that they're being tortured there?Won't you hear their screams inside your head?
People do crazy things without realising what they're doing all for revenge.But if you do take revenge do you get back whatever it is that you lost?People become what they're not trying to take revenge.Is it really worth losing yourself for revenge?Look at it this way is the person you want to take revenge from worth changing yourself for?People lose their selves ,their lives and everything they have and is precious to them.But what do they get in return?Happiness?Whatever it was that they lost?Salvation?
But if you've noticed they lose much more than that..........
