TRUTH: We usually believe in something based on the situation. Truth always exists.

There are many sides to an incident or a story . One of them is the truth and the remaining ones are perceptions of different people and what they believe, to their convenience. We always believe the side which we are comfortable with. That’s the most we can do when we don’t know the truth.

Negative incidents are really funny. For example, consider the match fixing incident of former Indian Cricket team captain Mohd. Azharuddin that shook the entire nation. Only he knows whether he did it or not. We obviously believed what was convenient to us.

It’s so funny that even when he said he didn’t do anything, most people didn’t believe him. But if he had said he did it, everyone would have believed him. See how funny it is? Both are said by him but it doesn’t make any difference to what we believe even after the court’s verdict. So it’s all about convenience.

Look at Sushant Rajput’s case. It’s so unfortunate. Everyone has a theory. Everyone seems to talk about justice but it just looks like most of them have their own personal agendas talking about this.

There’s so much happening and we gradually lose faith that one day truth will be known to all. It’s just that there’s so many people, who don’t want us to find out the truth.

I read this thread on Instagram about some journalists quitting Republic because the channel is trying to find everything but the truth. It is creating false reports and so many other things misleading the case. Should we believe that thread?? Some will believe and some won’t. It’s so messed up. Only the person who quit knows what the truth is. We are just mere spectators of the game being played there.

People called out for CBI investigation. How many of them agreed with the CBI verdict of Arushi Talwar’s case?? Her parents got arrested in the end. If they really had done it, only they know the truth. If not, he who did it, knows the truth. You see no one other than them know the truth. Some incidents are like that.

Truth is always being hidden. Remaining all are theories of different people and our opinions and beliefs.

For instance, My sister got to know about some incident and she was worrying about whether it’s true or not. Then she talked to me about it and I simply asked her to believe in the side of the story which makes her happy and keeps her at peace because the situation was such that where the truth can never be found. That’s what I told her when she asked me how can I be so chill and unaffected with these kind of situations.

Karma and past lives: Those who believe in karma may also believe in past lives. Karma can hit you hard for your actions in this life or in your next life. Or if you are wondering why it’s already hitting you for no reason, it’s for what you did in your previous life. That’s one way to approach the concept of karma.

Gautama Buddha was the first person to talk about the past lives. He said that people will be born again and again and their karma gets piled up unless and until they do something to burn the karma. I had a lot of confusion around it.

Earlier thought was like, if I believed in Karma, I shouldn’t analyse what’s right and wrong in a situation and let karma act upon it and take action instead of me. When I can’t do all of that, I don’t want to believe in karma. Immediately, I realised the thought itself was wrong. Here are few situations that lead to the realisation:

Consider The Holocaust during World War II. Around 6 million Jews were killed during the time. Adolf Hitler believed that Jews were the enemy of the German people. That single thought to a leader led to the torture and killings of so many Jews. How is that fair to the people who had died ?? They had done nothing to get that treatment. And what happened in the end?? Hitler committed suicide. That’s it?? That’s how it was supposed to end for him ?? Is that enough ??

Around all this what I think is maybe the Jews had to die. Maybe their karma had hit them in this way. Maybe they had done worse things in their previous lives.

So, maybe nature had made a plan for all of them to be born in a single community known as Jews and created a person like Hitler to get a thought to kill them all. These are the thoughts I get when I think about Karma.

Even if it’s their karma, what Hitler did was wrong. He had to be punished. But no one could. He committed suicide. Maybe that’s his Karma. He had to die or get killed for all the terrible things he did. Maybe, he was also worse in his previous life and that he should have got punished and nature made him kill all the Jews who are innocent in this life. And as killing innocent people is wrong, he was guilty and died.

Nature also created someone like Schindler to save some people(maybe the people who hadn’t done wrong in their past lives). You can see where I am going with this. With these thoughts, sometimes I think what’s wrong with me, exactly like the way you might be thinking about me while reading this.
