January 2015 – Who Flipped My Triangle?

Sense of reciprocation is giving back in return of receiving. We pray to God for some wish to come true, then we do things on the name of God. If you call someone generous he/she is reciprocating in return of the blessings. He/she may not believe in God but doing God’s work.

If you are an Atheist doctor or a scientist and don’t know why there are placebo effects, your knowledge is not complete. With incomplete knowledge no one should deny something which is beyond the present understanding of the brain.

Each and everyone of us has the right to believe whatever we want to. Personally I believe God provides me with the oxygen to be alive and I give the name and identity to God. God allows me to navigate through my life with the free will and I do the physical work of God. God keeps the body running with the health and the man whether he/she believes in God or not saves lives, reproduce and keeps the body of God, the humanity alive.

My understanding of God is that I am alive because of the oxygen, which I have no control and I can’t function without it, whoever or whatever is providing me that oxygen is God. When I was born my parents took care of me because of that same oxygen and the care they gave me in my vulnerable years that is God. When someone sends some money to the charity to feed the hungry somewhere in the world, that is God. When we try to implement some rules to save the animals from extinction, that is God. Someone donates his/her organs to save someone, that is Godly act. Same as someone discovers antibiotics, vaccinations to prevent life threatening diseases and death etc. The insulin, genetic code breakdown the information of storms, tsunamis etc. etc. to save lives is God in the form of human being. It is a matter of putting everything in understandable perspective.

If you believe that its all done by the human being, just remember human being can’t function without the oxygen thus can’t work alone. It is a matter of understanding, if one believes everything is done by the human beings they actually believe in God because God lives and exists through the human beings. Just like the human body works in synergy to provide the oxygenated and nutrients rich blood to the cells, cells reciprocate to keep the body alive.

Our problems are related to the education which makes the human being, as an in significant part of the picture and that God is some outside entity lives without the human beings. Spiritually maybe, but physically God can’t survive without the human beings, just like the human body does not survive without the functioning of the cells, for instance if all human beings are killed by us would God or Devil matter? if there is no body to enjoy the beauty it has no value.

I wrote a piece a long time ago, in Punjabi,

Assain dowain haan taar thay vul sajana, jay main nain tay toon ve nain kuj sajana

jay chaanan nain marian raatan thay vich tay outher ve mainoo hanair ditha.

I try to translate it.

We are intertwined positive and negative like the electric wires, if there is not me, you are not either

If there is no light in my nights, I see darkness on the other side as well.

If you buy everything what is sold to you, you would do whatever your belonging group dictate. Today our societies promote that life is like a mountain and as an individual you are told to climb and keep climbing. The higher you climb the better, people would respect you, admire you and would love to be in your shoes regardless of your miseries. If you keep climbing regardless of being unhappy, unhealthy and with the knowledge of mortality, your sense of belonging is out of your control which needs to balanced by the sense of freedom.

This triangle is about the Man Sense of belonging and Sense of freedom and I will talk about it later on, but at this time it is about the Health, Happiness and Success. As I talk with the triangle philosophy a good CEO should have the ability to control and balance his/her life with the free will. You could be a good CEO of a company but if you can’t balance your personal affairs you are not a good CEO of your life. Don’t sacrifice your happiness and health because without the two there is no success and as a mortal you have to enjoy the journey. In a temporary life happiness is most valuable treasure one can accumulate, so no matter how high you climb it would never be enough because you will run out of time.
