Because it distracts us from our problems, and guides our thoughts towards an altogether different living field. It helps us in running away - not solving them.
2. Why is God on the top ?
Upperwaale - the one who is above all, and in the heavens. Is being on ground insulting ? Why is he only in the sky, why not in the water, on the earth, in the trees, with the farms ?
3. Why does the map always show America on the left, and Japan on the right ?
America is indeed not very far away from Japan, unlike as depicted in maps. On paper, when representing the oblong world, something has to be on the left, but why only America ?
4. Why touch feet of elders for blessings ?
We always respect an individual for his/her thoughts. All that originates in the brain. Then why touch the feet ? Why not the head ? Because we ultimately are seeking good will and blessings of them, which again would originate only in the mind.
5. My religion is the best. But why ?
If any other religion has got a different view-point than that of mine, then we are loggerheads. Why ? Can the same thing be not seen from different angles ? Why is it always 'Either - Or', rather than 'And'. I prefer the 'Neither - Nor'.
6. My country is the most beautiful. Is it ?
My country being beautiful implies your country is not it's worth. After all, it's just a piece of land. Of course with lots of emotional baggage.
7. Human beings need to be saved at all costs.
Why is the human being above all ? Is human more important than the beetle on the leaf, or than the lizard on the wall ? We are just a micro-dot in the universe. We exaggerate our existence.
