Hatred

Why do we hate people?This is the question that struck me when I realised yesterday that the number of people on my hate list has increased exponentially in the last one year.When I was younger there were hardly anyone who I hated.Is it because the people around me are actually bad enough to deserve my hatred? But they say that it is our own reflection that we see in others.So, is it that I've myself become such a devil that I see everyone else in the same light?

Hatred.Interesting feeling it is.Being desperately in love seems justified,but being but full of hatred for someone isn't quite alright.But one thing is for sure,hatred creates a lot energy,though it may be negative energy.If one can channel this energy,he can put it to great use.But,then I feel that this kind of energy won't be long lasting.After all, hatred isn't natural to man.Is it?Sooner or later,he'll realise the futility of his hatred.

So,love thy neighbour.Lets see if I can manage to follow this.

Hazaron Khwahishein Aisi

Hazaron khwahishein aisi,
ki har khwahish pe dum nikale.
Bahut nikale mere armaan
lekin...
fir bhi kum nikale.

Mohabbat mein nahi hai fark,
jeene aur marne ka
Usi ko dekh kar jeete hain,
jis kaafir pe dum nikale.

Hazaron khwahishein....

Khuda ke vaste,
parda nakabe utha zalim.
Kahin aisa na ho yon hi,
Wahi kaafir sanam nikale.

Hazaron khwahisein...

Kahan maikhane ka darwaza ghalib,
aur kahan waaiz.
Par itna jaante hain,
kal.. wo jaata tha,
ke hum nikale.

Hazaron khwahishein.....

What's there in a name?

Today I found a website about some book called 'Disposable Lives'.The author wrote about how she kept acquiring different names as she went through different stages of her life.The website also had a link where you could write how many names you have and your experience with those names.

All this made me wonder,is a name really important?Even I have many names,everybody has.I feel that there are many personalities hidden inside a person, different personalities take control of the person in different environments.The names that we acquire are actually names given to these personalities.We can never know all these persons inside us completely.Maybe that is why we can never find a reason for some of our own decisions.Maybe when the struggle between the persons within becomes too tough,it causes personality disorders.But then,I am no Freud,I'm just speculating.

Does the name affect our personality too?I have read articles by astrologers and tarot card specialists which were about the effect a name can have on the person.Astrologers even determine the auspiscious letters with which a person's name should begin for his good fortune.

But,does all this matter really?A name is after all a tag,nothing more than that,isn't it?The person is much more important.Everybody has to fight his own battle.Only character and grit can help one surge forward,names don't help.

I think it is enough for today.Do give it a thought and leave your comments....
