Why to write and how this blog started?

Everyone in this world has something to say. Everybody’s story is unique and interesting. I used to think that a lot has been already said or written about this and related subjects. So, who would listen to me if I wanted to tell my views? I believe that everyone is unique in this world and should share his/her ideas, experiences, and views and that’s how the world will progress. We need to be open to new views and ideas even if sometimes they sound strange. I saw many people don’t even think about these issues or follow whatever is told to them blindly. Even after progressing so much in technological areas and in science we still have a very primitive understanding of religion and its role in today’s world. We need more and more people to express their views so that we can have healthy debates on ideas and opinions. People will understand that basically, all religions teach the same thing, and if the central idea or ultimate teaching is the same then what’s there to fight about? All religious books even though they are great guiding texts have limited significance in today’s world. I am not saying to dump them but use them as reference books, not as commandments. We are a much better civilized society today than thousands of years ago when these books were written; we need to become more tolerant towards each other. Basically we humans generally express only two emotions love and fear; all our actions can be summarized under these two emotions. We need to bring more love into our lives so that it can drive fear away from our lives, it’s not that difficult task and the good thing about it is that it’s in our hands. So let’s share our views, experiences, and opinions and we all can learn something from each other.
