Belief and Obsession..

There is a thin line between belief and obsession. “Belief” is a conviction and “obsession” is a compulsion – the two may appear to be twins, but they’re just cousins - and for ease of overstanding, let’s assume that conviction is the decorous cousin and compulsion is the ‘ranchang’ (wayward) – and their relationship is not unlike what’s between ‘nobbanteh’ and ‘hemem’ (love and lust)

Since conviction is derived from careful thought and normally a choice, it is expected to be carried out at moderate pace. Compulsion on the other hand is an urge and naturally irresistible, and when something is irresistible, it can deceive someone to behave in very immoderate ways. So if you think you’re a believer, finding a balance between the two is very important, otherwise you may unwittingly end up with a terrible coalition - call it a ‘compulsive-conviction’, which may not only be deceptive, but also destructive.

Take a look at the state of the world, the extent of ego-serving fuckery going on in the name of “belief”, and tell me if it is not reasonable to hold that none of the fuckeries are motivated by justifiable convictions. They’re all stirred by pathetic compulsions - from racially prejudiced supremacists, Muslims extremists, radical Christians to pointless militia groups, all of them. They’re all nutcases suffering from ACUTE ‘Obsessive Compulsive Disorders’ (OCDs).

Sometimes I wish they could all be rounded up and banished to where Space Aliens come from – let them go and terrorise outer space. So that humankind will start to live with the highest possible state of consciousness, awareness and togetherness.
