World War Zero

Now, what do you think the Zeroth World War was fought over? Land? Resources? Or maybe something a bit more important, yet ignored, aspect of the human race (Interestingly, it’s called a race, because everyone runs for their image in public, for their dreams, for their life!), i.e. the sense of pride and honor?

What I’m talking about is, mes amis, none other than the Epic Mahabharat very famous for Krishna Vasudev Yadav, or Arjun, the middle son of King Pandu. Well, only people keen enough know this whole name. Everyone knows the story, right? It is the fight for the throne of Hastinapur. People in the so-called Satyug attempt various tasks which were against The Dharma, and one thing leads to another, and the World War Zero strikes! Longest story short, though they clearly know what’s right, they are sort of dragged into doing wrong. Wait wait wait, does that sound quite familiar? If we know that we are evolving through every generation, and getting smarter every step down the ladder of generation, why is it just so hard to believe that it started with humans like Shakuni, or Krishna for that matter? Now, as per what I’ve read, it wasn’t even Satyug, but Dvapar Yug, which gives a whole new perspective to some people, and makes no difference to others.

For my sake, just remove the thought that there was any involvement of God, and everyone was just human with powers like one of Stan Lee’s characters. Remove any possibility that whatever happened wasn’t already ‘written’. Now, rethink the whole story. Ponder over the lesson every character in this story learns AND teaches. You will now find that there is so much to learn, if you want to. Just like the World Wars I and II, you learn what is good to do, and what to choose between wrong and less wrong.

What this shows is that we need not just close our eyes in haste, or even faith, where God is projected, but as true atheists, or believers, try to go to the next slide of the presentation being showed, and just remove the image of the Guy upstairs to think more clearly. After all, if there is someone or something at all, there are bound to be emotions, or at least concepts, right?
