FacebookI was just watching Da Vinci's Code. It was lying with me since ages but somehow I just never got the time to watch it. Now that I did, I loved it. I haven't read the novel, if I were to believe what my friends say, the movie would have disappointed me if I had seen it after reading the novel.
Anyway this post is not about that. It's about what this blog is about, the random stuff that keeps coming to my mind.
Everyone laughed at Newton when he theorised about Gravity. They didn't believe in him and what he said. Suppose he also didn't, then there would have been no scientific discoveries using Gravity, Gravity might have never been found. This is not a lone example, there are plenty. It happens everyday, all around us. What is true, is what people believe to be true, not the absolute truth. Even people who have been falsely implicated, sometimes reach a psychological state where they start believing that they commited the act. It is all about the believing.
Faith - it is also about believing.
You love a person because you believe, many times subconsciously, that the person adds onto you. Good is Good and Bad is Bad because you believe them to be. Maybe that is not the way it is.
Maybe some of those fiction stories that we read, they were also true. Not a figment of the author's imagination but a fact that was visible to only the author of the work due to his/her supreme level of awareness of the surroundings and the decent intelligence level.
How easy is it to make a person believe in what you have to say? Well assuming the person is of average level of intelligence and awareness(which I can quite safely assume is very poor as compared to the intelligentsia) it is rather easy. Just follow the following steps:
1. You present to the person some fact that he/she also knows to be a fact.
2. Next, present facts which the person is unaware of.(Trust me you'll find aplenty)
3. Interpret all the facts in whatever way you want to, just maintain a (seemingly) logical flow.
4. Next, start contorting the facts the way you desire the person to believe them.
...and You're on.
Now that you know this simple and truthful fact, if you have the basic necessary skills(oratory etc), you can become the next Spiritual Leader or a Business Guru or the most accliamed documentarist or whatever.
Well... maybe Da Vinci's Code is not fiction, it is not a figment of Dan Brown's imagination, maybe it's true. And what the Christian's the world over have faith in and humans the world over believe to be the truth isn't the truth.
