Simple as it may sound; never did I realize that this word defines me in some way. Even though it may define me, yet I am blissfully ignorant of it. So when the most beautiful girl that I have ever met or come across asked me the question, “What do you believe in?” – I was stumped. Perplexed. Bewildered. The sheer simplicity and yet the difficulty (just like her) of that question got me thinking.
So what is belief for me? Belief is something that comes from within. Some reality that lies within. Some incoherent force that stops me from doing something. The same incoherent force that compels me to do something. Well, I might be talking about conscience but then again it is based on some values and belief which I call the core. So do the things I believe in form the part of my core and yet I cannot define it? Is that plausible? Does it mean that I do not know myself well?
Luckily, it not all grey for me – I found some things that I could define my belief in. Foremost would be the supreme power or reality – the force that controls or drives everything. Then there is a famous Hindi saying that I have utmost belief in – “Jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai”. This line might not seem correct to the person affected but when I do look back at events in my life – this surely holds true. In a relationship I find three things most important that I do believe in – Honesty, Trust and Love. Simplicity and humility are two characteristics that I firmly believe in – but they are the most difficult to achieve.
And on a lighter note, I do believe that if any of my friends read this post – firstly they might get a heart attack and secondly I will get a phone call full of abuses – No one is used to me being so serious about life J
