We often,
these days, tend to complicate things rather than simplify them. Has anyone
ever thought why?
Why do we
find the need to complicated and boggle ourselves when we could just keep
things simple and live with ease?
So lets
simplify things a little for now.
We often
think of science as a very complicated mess understood by the brainiest people
of the world to lead us to the betterment in almost all aspects. But what
science really means at its true core is rational reasoning.
So lets
look into that for a second and simplify it to understand its true nature.
What is rational?
According to most dictionaries it means: agreeable to reason, sensible and reasonable/sound judgment.
What is rational?

What is
reason?
It is a
form of judgment by a process of logic.
Now logic
is defined as ‘reasoning conduction or assessed according to strict principles
of validity: experience is a better guide to this than deductive logic.’ Then
why is that we need “logical reasoning” or “science” to validate the credibility
of any and all experiences, while we discover that the core of science itself
is pretty crooked up which is jumbled up and ultimately is just
logical/mythical judgment on the basis of no true or real evaluation and it
goes round and round back to the same point like hovering in a cycle which we
take as a legitimate explanation instead. In fact, we could just keep going
more and more deep into this mess of definitions and justifications to just this one word/idea of science as an example even.
We often
forget that there is a reason/purpose to everything we do and if not then there
should be. I hope this is agreeable. So then, when we peep into our lives today
how many of us really think of the purpose of anything at all? For instance,
the defined or better said, the marketed purpose to schooling is to make one
educated; civilized and so one could understand the true realities of nature
and world for the betterment.
How many
of us today, go to schools for having a better potential of earning and ease to
attain luxury or “economic security” as some of us would like to call it?
We school
ourselves forgetting its prime purpose we joined in for and get distorted to
making more profits instead.
We,
strictly just in my opinion, are driven by profit and driven away from purpose.
But what
is this profit for? What is the purpose of it; looking at it scientifically or
reasoning it rationally? If it is for the betterment then we could do it anyway
just by following what we had to at the first place, following the prime
purpose of any activity, why take the twisted complicated route to uncertainly
attain which is certainly attainable with simplicity and ease?
We today,
in my opinion, are lost and boggled between the choice and nature of purpose
and profit. We strive for either with no certainty of its true nature and
purpose. Its like, we get in a bus with no idea of where to get of and why so
or why not.
We have
profits to attain luxury, which leads us to comfort, which leads us to
happiness. But come to think about it what then? Why do we need or want to be
happy? We don’t see our nature trying to comfort itself with profits and it
seems to have been fine for the past several million years.
We are
lacking to find purpose in everything we do today which is why, in my opinion,
we are lost and have got no idea where to go with where we are and how to go
about it, especially with the ecological, biological, economical,
philosophical, religious and fundamentalist reoccurring collapse lead by us to
us in thriving for attaining those very purposeless pleasures which seem to
comfort us and make us happy.
Reasoning
or leading a scientific life in real terms by giving meaning or finding meaning
of each act is how we can validate any act. Because any act without true validation
losses its credibility.
So what
is the credibility of what we are striving for today?
Why have
we lost purpose in path to achieve the purpose itself?
