Reincarnation: do you believe in it?

Being afraid of the unknown is part of life. There are many different answers to this question. Philosophical search of self might lead to results unimaginable. Is it reincarnation if you found out something new about yourself that changes the core of who you are? Is it reincarnation if you leave your past behind and start anew? Is every Monday a reincarnation day? Different answers for different thoughts.

And then there’s science. The cold hard facts studied minutely in an attempt to obtain a solid result. There’s no irrefutable evidence that suggests the possibility of reincarnation. When you die, you die. Your brain deteriorates like every other part of your body. All information stores in it, lost. Never to be found again. Well, not in the same form, at least. But then again, even science tells that every cell in the body dies and replaced in about seven years. That’s a new body you have right there. You could consider that to be reincarnation if you choose.

At the end of the day, it’s all about perception. Choosing to believe without is still just a belief. And choosing to ignore facts is not gonna change reality. I don’t believe in reincarnation in the strictest sense of the word. However, I am open to it in a scientific way and in a philosophical way if it means starting fresh. But, I don’t know.

shhhhhh……

a secret in those eyes
hidden away, locked
the betrayal and the lies
i feel i’m being mocked

a feeling uneasy, every time
i look at you now
and you say everything’s fine
yet you broke the vow

would you gain back the trust
so unceremoniously broken
or give in again to lust
and be just a token

a secret never for another ear
but only for those eyes
staring through the crumpled mirror
and with it, it shall die

Inertia

The daily prompts are getting a bit boring now. I don’t know if that’s due to me trying to do most of them or because they are actually boring. Or maybe the rut is getting to me. I don’t want that. But sometimes you can’t control these things. The whole point is to be able to get through and come out the other side. I’m trying that.

Right now, it’s getting difficult to manage life. I feel pretty stressed out about tomorrow. And tomorrow I’ll feel the same about the day after. What I need right now is some change in the everyday proceedings. It’s funny how difficult any transition can be. Being unsure of yourself seems to be part of the job.

As to how long this will take is something I can’t put my finger on. There’s something called theory of inertia which states that objects that are moving or stationary will remain to do so unless acted upon by an external force. That’s actually the first law of motion. Seems to resonate a lot in life, not just the realm of physics. I need to find an external force to get out of this inertia. Act, you imbalanced force, act.

A job

Money for Nothing

If you’re like most of us, you need to earn money by working for a living. Describe your ultimate job. If you’re in your dream job, tell us all about it — what is it that you love? What fulfills you? If you’re not in your dream job, describe for us what your ultimate job would be.

I’d like to continue writing. I’ve never had a chance to write and get paid. But it’ll be probably the best thing.

trust

the sweet nothings i whispered
were for you, not for one soul another
i thought we were together, up or down
here i am, without a shadow, full of doubt

tell me why? isn’t it the least i deserve
after all i lost, an answer to remember
shards of trust through broken heart
never again am i letting you close
