Love, Religion & Politics

Hi Friends, today I am here to talk about the three extremes of life- Love, Religion & Politics.

Why this topic?

Simple I found them to be very interesting enough to discuss. Love is something that rules people. It starts from the core of heart and ends up with affections. We name mass affections as religion. Religions are a composite mixture of beliefs & superstitions. Common people have always needed a support to make them feel that they are doing the right thing or moving in the correct direction (actually they always believe in any force). So religion is a force of huge communities. The differences in views create annoyance & therefore we employ people from us to look after our own selves. They are politicians and the job they are involved in is called politics (sometimes they are misspelled as poly-tricks). These three topics have a common bare line of heart (Actually they all start from the same point, deep inside the red dreamy valley) in them.

Love

Now this is a feeling. According to the resources in
wikipedia  it is as follows

 “Love represents a range of emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept love usually refers to a strong, ineffable feeling towards another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

Spiritual love, or longing for God, is highly valued and sought after by many religions of both Eastern and Western origin.

So how does it sound like, a dilemma, an energy source or just passion? It’s different for different people. Anyways as always feelings can only be felt and never described.


Religion

I don’t know what exactly is a religion. I have seen Hindus do it in their temple, Christians in church and Muslims in mosques. I have seen it when anybody is very serious before exams. I have seen it in the very close moments of life. Believe apart from many others I have seen it when we have cricket matches in India. So what is religion? It’s the gush out of any community of people who think more or less alike (or at least they are bound to think alike).

Lets find out what wikipedia say.

A religion is a set of tenets and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.

So it tells us something related to the almighty. Have we seen him (Normal guys/ gals never have the enough trust to see him)? So there is a lot of unanswered questions in between.

Politics

This is the last energy beam we are left with. People in this profession are strategic more enough to handle common people’s demands (Sometimes they only understand what their heart have to say, for them). They are there to think about common people, take decisions for them, feed them, and make them believe about what is good and what is bad. They are dictators. All the work they perform is known as politics. Some time they make poly tricks to perform.

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in all human group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions.

Now this is the most close to us position among the three. But in today’s world the word meaning nurturing is destroyed by something called gangster-ism. We are in dilemma.
