WHAT IS REAL?

We seek answers regarding our purpose for existence,  meaning in our life, the meaning of our life, and many more like why are we here. And yet we can not find answers to the simplest of our questions. The most simple ones are the most difficult to answer like who we are?
Some times reality isn't what you see or think. Reality is very complicated. Can you define what's real? You think the air you breathe  is real?  Think again. It is not at all difficult to figure out that the last sentence is from movie, the Matrix. Actually,  I was trying to implying that reality is different and difficult to face. Reality isn't what we think it to be.
 Let us go into a bit of detail. Look, a Jew thinks he is following the path of  God and and he is the right guy doing the right thing. So does a Christian, so does a Muslim, so does a Hindu and so does a Buddhist. They all think that they are right and others are wrong. They think every one except them is wrong. Who is right? Do not just think as a Muslim, Jew or Christian. Suppose that you do not belong to any religion and then think.
 Now let us take the whole thing to a broader perspective, I mean on daily bases and daily routine. What you do is right and you believe it to be right. You think that you are right and you are following the right path. Every other person feels the same, even the criminal, even the priest, even I when i try to explain this crazy theory to you. We all do consider ourselves to be dead right and following the right path, even if we get the feeling we are not right we still believe in ourselves. well, I know I sound crazy but  do you really believe that everyone can be right,  Some one has always to be wrong, is not it so?
In the face of reality right and wrong change drastically. What you consider  immoral may be right in reality and what you think right may be totally immoral. The whole thing depends , at times, on the angle from which you are observing or analyzing it.
  Well this is an endless discussion. It  makes a person more confused and vague after you discuss. It does not clear up your head, it makes things more and more blur. Probably it's nice to continue with the same routines of life. Those stupid,boring, meaningless routines because reality is not so pretty. It is very ugly and harsh and it is not what we expect it to be ..................

  1. The world appears a different view to every single blade in the field !
    Everyone can be right...everyone's action can be justified in the light of their circumstances,everyone has their own reasons ; reasons are invented , not found.No standard , therefore , can be build on the faculty of reason alone.I think we only have to listen to our hearts all along. Prophet SAW ,when inquired what is Naiki , expressed : "Apny Dil Se Fatwa Lo "
