Anything creative ..Poetry ..Music... Writing... photography ...Science ... Art ..social Science

  A reply on Conversation: What is art?

  May 26 2011: One of my best friend who is a Physics masters and an excellent poet and writer. The day I had this thought in mind , I ask her the same question because out thinking process is very similar . Anyway , I asked her ,what is an ART? to my surprise beyond limit she said “what every you do with heart is an ART” .I was like , how can two different people at different shore of the world can think exactly the same on sometime.
  I asked her, how did that thought came in her mind?? And she was asking me why I’m asking her that question.
  Then she told me she went to Uni admission interview ,and the interviewer asked her the same question ,and she answered it the first thing came in her mind , which was “whatever you do with heart is an ART” .The interviewer ,counter questioned her , So even terrorist do things with heart would you consider that as an ART as well “.
  And my friend cleverly answered YES, but that would be destructive ART.
  She didn’t got admission in that uni and she couldn’t careless about it , but she knew why she didn’t get admission . :) :) :)

  May 25 2011: I would never say something like that “ Eastern religions have the decency to not bother the rest of the world with their ideas of God(s) and not discriminate people by it, but that's far from what the monotheistic western religions do.”
  This type of mentality is the root cause of violence on name of religion .I read it somewhere …Leonardo Boff a famous theologist of freedom once ask Dalai lama “what is best religion “ to his surprise Dalai lama said “ whatever gets you closer to God ,and whatever makes you a better person “ (Im sorry this answers might not fit into your definition of religion )
  Than Leonardo ask him what is that makes me better ?? He replied “ whatever makes you more compassionate ,more sensible ,more detached, more loving, more humanitarian ,more responsible ,more ethical”
  Your religion is not important but who you are as a person is

  May 24 2011: Hi Sowmya,
  The problem is not a common man understands religion, the problem lie in the complexity of religions there rules, and the mentality it carries. I would not consider a priest, a “poojari” or “moulwi” a common man who preach that their religion is superior to others.
  A common man get the understanding of the religion from their religion books , from the people and institute who preach them wrongly . So I won’t blame common man for that.
  And I don’t think that religion help to tame mind, rather it provoke peoples sentiments to fight against each other at least most of the time .I think spirituality can help to tame mind.
  And I’m so sorry but we are different than other animal not because of the set of rules set by religions. You might want to check this video on TED http://www.ted.com/talks/robert_sapolsky_the_uniqueness_of_humans.html .I think it will help you to understand why we are different than other animals.
  I think we are human because of our, empathy, compassion and love towards our fellow human being. The day we lost it, no matter what religion we are following we are no better than any other animal.
  And I think a religious man who is ready to kill other on name of religion is far worse than a Dog who protects his master from trouble.
  Just because we borne as a human doesn’t makes us superior than other creatures.

  May 22 2011: I think I have single label for it “human”
  “Doesn't use his/her own non evidence based views (i.e. beliefs) to influence laws or infringe on the rights of others.”
  -Kind (harmless)
  
  “Doesn't regard any moral source as "holy" (i.e. unquestionable, infallible; e.g. holy scripture or a guru), but is still moral (by virtue of common sense or basic moral conduct of all religions; the golden rule).”
  -Sceptical
  
  “Does not practice any particular set of rituals (maybe some of one religion, maybe some from various religions, but no particular named set in full or as traditionally practiced).”
  
  -Carefree(you can also say careless if you want )
  
  “is willing to change his/her beliefs (potentially dramatically so) or believe something new if presented with solid evidence to support the claim, and strives to make as few assumptions and have as few beliefs as possible.”
  -Flexible or wise (who is ready to accept his mistake if he knew he is wrong)
  “Doesn't hold a strong position on his/her current beliefs.
  -Unsure or unconfident
  
  “Doesn't believe in any form of god(s)”
  Atheist or freethinker
  Human = Kind (harmless) +sceptical + carefree + Flexible or wise + unsure or unconfident + Atheist or freethinker ..etc
  But I think all your question’s answers can fit under the label of “human” but for sure not Atheist (except last one)
  And I don’t think anyone can prove the existence of God. It’s a belief, people who believe in it, say there is a God and they believe in it . For those who do not believe in God they say, they can’t see God they don’t believe in God. If you ask for evident form believer and non believer I think non believer sounds more rational because they don’t have any proofs and non believer doest need any proofs as you can’t see God.
  My point is, not everything in life needs proofs, sometime you just have to assume and accept. If we don’t agree on something doesn’t mean we are right and others are wrong.
  Even science have to make assumption to prove some theories
