SEEKING TRUTH

The world and the human existence must carry some purpose,it is this belief that has carried us this far.What exactly this purpose is hard to ascertain and if one actually finds a purpose,chances are high that it may be the wrong one.The most common purpose that has been ascribed to our existence by many relegious ideologies is oneness with God,the path to which can be travelled only through the values and morals inherent in these relegions.Morality can however not be a dictated one as everyone is dependent on his interpretations.Guided by individual interpretations we start to develop our own value system and when these contradict those taught by relegion we face a crisis that challenges our existence.Most of the people however never get to this stage as they already had abandoned their reason to the concept of god which requires one to be faithful without asking questions.Faced by such a crisis a reasoning mind however formulates a personal value system and seeks his own purposes.The transition takes place through a stage when one doubts the existence of all values,knowledge and purpose.This is the state of nihilism in which a person holds no beliefs,looses all loyalties and seems to have no other impulse other than destroying.This transition proves destructive for many who either turn into amoralists mindlessly seeking things like power and material pleasures while some others into ascetics who renounce all earthly desires in order to prevent getting hurt.The people who get through this state come out as pioneers taking the civilization ahead.Last two centuries have been very dynamic and have pushed the whole humankind a step closer to this transition.The lifestyles of especially the young today shows signs of nihilism.However dangerous it may be,one needs to go through this stage as it helps one to wipe the slate clean and emerge a phoenix.Their is a big probability that the truth that one reaches through this process may once again eventually lead to contradictions and thus maybe a newer and deeper nihilism.Sometimes people get caught up in a vicious circle of self realization and nihilism and spend their lifetime trying to break off.The path to the truth is the most trying of all but remember 'The climb may be arduous but the view is grandest at the top'
