Salvation

We are humans. Superior beings, intellectual beings, beings with the ability to talk and what not. Our so-called supremacy is our greatest treasure, we thrive on the concept of the superiority 'complex'. The reason behind this: we all have an inferiority complex. We have this need to show that we are better than others, no one is truly humble or modest, somewhere down the line, when we get a chance to show the person we hate the most, we grab it and show them, that we are better than them. All in vain.

Why? Because we have another concept in our minds which is closely linked to this complex. Hope, survival, salvation. Because in our minds, we have this illusion that one day, we will no need to be better than others, that one day it will be a better day than all the others and everything will be alright, that one day, being superior or inferior won't matter that one day, we will be satisfied and at peace.

This concept of salvation, is never overrated. No matter if the person has abandoned all hope, If that said person sees even a tiny ray of hope, of salvation, he will cling onto it and hold onto it for as long as he possibly can.

Salvation can mean different things for different people, in the form of love, money, family, companionship or something else. But at the base, it is the same, peace of MIND.

But, have you ever thought about one thing, what if you didn't know what can bring you peace? That the answer to bring you peace, lies in the answer itself, and to find the answer to that answer you'd have to look for a long time and still wouldn't get it. What then? What about salvation? Wouldn't it be a maze without an entry or an exit? Wouldn't it be utter chaos? Wouldn't it be a chaos without a beginning and an end? Wouldn't it be the sole chaos which didn't have anything existing before it and nothing created after it? Where the chaos in the mind would be the way of living, where there is no creation after destruction.

What would you do then? Would you die hopeless? OR would you continue to seek your answer, or would you just continue to live on in hopes to find the answer, ironically, that would be your salvation of getting your salvation. Isn't life complicated?

Isn't salvation overrated? I mean why do we need salvation? Why do we need any concept at all? Why can't be just live peacefully with fellow humans? The answer, NO. Because without these ugly concepts, there wouldn't have been any progress in any field, academics, technology, science, philosophy, ironically, there wouldn’t have been any category in the first place, and more irony, all these things wouldn’t have been needed either?

SO what is the answer? What can we do in our lives to find salvation? DO we need it? Does such a thing exist? Are we a mad dog running after a mail van on an empty road with no traffic signals and no traffic?

I don't know, but what I do know is this, the thing we do need apart from salvation, is compassion, peace, love, sensitivity, sensibility and love for our fellow humans and most important of all, we need to learn to let things go. Because if we do learn that, we won't need any salvation and automatically there would be peace. Can I say another ironic thing? Our salvation is the only thing which is preventing our progress towards it. Do think about it.
