Mind of my Stroked Brain

 Thoughts are not linear to easily understand how we came across some line of thinking. It jumps from one to another seemingly unrelated thoughts. This is one such thing. I have no idea why I started thinking about this... Note: as usual, some of the things I have said might not be relatable ​to everyone  and even offend ​some of  you. Please ignore and read no further in such a case... "Survival of the fittest by natural selection" - that is Darwin's famous and well accepted theory explaining evolution.  According to it ​, simply put, evolution is a random series of mistakes (genetic mutations) which makes specimens of species either fitter or weaker and subsequently, nature has a brutal mechanism of weeding out everything that was less fit as against a fitter specimen and the better one survives. It applies to everything from animals, plants, insects, birds, fish, etc., etc. ​ That is how any species has not just survived but gotten better and better over the year...

Yesterday, I watched a news item. A young man in a big city was on a two wheeler and was knocked down in a hit and run case. He lay on the road bleeding and struggling for a long time.

However, I know the definition of karma at a broad level (I might be wrong), but broadly, I understand karma as a outcome or consequences of our actions. In the above case, I can think of 5 actors: 1. The person who caused the hit and run accident in the first place.  2. The folks who gathered around and looted the dying fellow 3. The folks who made and uploaded videos of the dying fellow 4. The folks who stood around and watched but did nothing 5. The folks who saw it happening but were too busy to stop even...

Almost everyone who has met me over the past 2 years, either personally or virtually, has taken a god's name, told me to have belief and faith and things will be alright. Honestly, if the plug was pulled fully last year, i might still have believed, but not like this. I have also been peddled the Karma philosophy a lot. When not just me, but everyone around me suffering so much, such coordinated karma is too fantastical to believe. Surely, clear directions and gps coordinates to hell on earth has been found! Yes, i acknowledge the small improvements over time. But i believe its due to consistent efforts by everyone around me, not by some devine help, but despite it! 😡
