Morons with mixed thoughts on ancient form of exercise

On the recent controversies involving several groups of varying religions on their take on yoga, I find it absurdly stupid. Yoga has been practised for ages and why is it only now that they ‘think’ it ‘might’ sway their beliefs? A person’s belief in religion is based on their own willpower and idealogies and why should they be so scared about a simple form of exercise that originated from another religion? Are they so low in willpower and self-esteem that they fear being swayed? If their beliefs are not strong to start with then why the hell are they still practising it?

The ‘sheep’ and ‘tools’ need to firmly believe in themselves and the religion that they are practising. If they don’t from the start then they are nothing more than what I have termed in my earlier sentence. Mere followers blindly biting on to the leader’s hand and accepting ideas without actually understanding them. It is a sad fact that we humans can be so smart yet so gullible at times that when one individual cites a controversial remark, all shrink like prunes and panic like sick children in a war zone. Use your God-given brains and hearts people!

If you believe in God, continue believing. If you don’t, it is alright because that is what you believe in. Be stalwart in what you believe in and you will be a happier person. Don’t let others force beliefs, bread, stones, buns, and ideas down your throat; you will just end up choking yourself.

Not all you say shall fall on deaf ears

Reading the current news on our beloved country saddens me, the lot and the ants in my garden. Before this turbulent after-period of our general elections, I have never been a keen listener of saliva-wastage,  money-grubbing, mud-slinging  and slander – or you could just call it plain politics. The last elections was indeed a changing moment. A big change for the unheard voices hiding in the shadows, holding lengthy discussions on how things should be done and how the ball should be kicked. Now armed with a new coat of paint, loud-mouth their ideas and beliefs to the world, hoping that their faint messages turn tides and provoke beasts. One among them I have become (or think I will be).

The unexpected bump in our unchanging road; forked it and changed our perspectives on proactiveness and complacency, leading a generation of open-mindedness (to a certain degree) and freedom of expression (also to a certain degree); whom are not afraid of speaking their minds – some for their own agendas, some for the greater good and all that matters. Once we used to think that the average normal bloke on the streets could do nothing more than survive for himself, can now provoke many hearts with just a properly inked thought and a push of a button.

Those whom are doing it now, relish in the moment of your projected thoughts. Be brave and chug forward with the opinions and ideas that have been bubbling in your cerebral cortex for you will never know what you might, or who you might change in the near future. In a system that is populated by commoners, villians, thieves, crooks, imposters, cowards, and the occasional clown; it is vital that somebody, anybody for that matter to try and play the hero’s role because we are lacking one – or die trying.

I salute those whom were brave enough to voice and comment on the current state of things and hoped for a change. Many moons back, most of us would just be hoping – but not doing anything.
