Realizations

I have realized one thing. People don’t want you to speak up your mind. Voice your doubts and people feel that there is intrinsically wrong with the person who is asking questions whose answers are anything but obvious according to them. They think it’s not normal to be curious. It’s not like that the person thinks he is wrong or right. It’s just that there are some questions in his mind. Some queries doing round in his head which need to be answered. He seeks guidance. He wants to speak up his mind. Vent out his views.

I don’t know if this urge to quench their inquisitiveness is wrong and I don’t know why people think it needs to be snubbed. Maybe they are looking for perfect people with perfect (read socially accepted) mindsets. These questions when answered will fortify the faith. Fill us with love. Help us rectify our faults. Help the world to become a better place. But what if the person is looked down upon? Treated like a madman. Treated like a black sheep. What if people make him feel unwanted.

I don’t expect the path to be rosy. Maybe it was his karma to get snubbed and grow as a result. Maybe he is wrong but he needs somebody to correct him. Answering his questions after listening patiently and understanding is the only way ahead.

But should a person open his heart and soul to people he loves but those who are not willing to listen to him. I don’t know if such an act will do more harm than good. It might push him into deeper abyss of despair or lead him astray from his path.

Or should he gratify those people by saying what those people want to hear and continue walking his path without their knowledge. This might lead to duality in his nature and that might be a bad thing even if he feels it is necessary in his evolution. I don’t really comprehend the consequences of such an action on his soul.

One thing is for sure, He should analyze all the things people say objectively and adopt whatever you feel is right.

P.S. One more thing. If you think I should not be thinking these thoughts do tell me ways to change. I sometimes feel like an outcast and would like to change that.
