In fact, the faith of most believers, even today, is quite genuine. The poem is just what the whole process would look like to an outside observer / a disbeliever.Mythili Vutukuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102100343833001967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781194353348106659.post-30812397247048353172009-01-07T17:41:00.000+05:302009-01-07T17:41:00.000+05:30Good poems, especially the first one.

As to the first: God was not necessarily a conscious invention (when you think back to medieval or the BCs); it was more an act of "I don't understand / can't control something, so I'll worship it". In fact, the path from absolute faith to disingenuous faith has been a subtle, millennia-long process.<BR/><BR/>On the second poem: It reminded me of the Gita and its characterization of karma. I am agnostic but I find that I do not need a God-figure to understand that life is indeed a very complex play, and that I should "Karmanyeva adhikarasya Ma faleshu Kadaachana". Of course, that isn't what your poem was about... it just prompted this rant. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781194353348106659.post-22682078584559256952008-05-21T20:35:00.000+05:302008-05-21T20:35:00.000+05:30thanks!thanks!Mythili Vutukuruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102100343833001967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781194353348106659.post-32194071135108248092008-05-19T19:54:00.000+05:302008-05-19T19:54:00.000+05:30Two Nice Contrasting Poems!Two Nice Contrasting Poems!Piyushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545369210248587182noreply@blogger.com
