Questions in/about/of life

There are many things haunting my mind now a days. Global warming, zero water day, death etc... These have been scaring me a lot as future does not look rosy to me. I have wondered how people seem to be at peace even though there are plenty of scary predictions by scientists about the future of Humans. I have literally lost sleep over these things.

Here are a few questions I have been pondering over. Do write to me if you have answers to them. My parents are grappling with it as much as I am but are doing a decent job of hiding it ;)


Question 1
What is the world going to look like in 40-45 yrs? Is global warming going to destroy the world?

Question 2
Which is the right religion to follow?

Question 3
Does God exist? How do you know? What makes you believe He/She exists?

Question 4
How do I feel God so that I truly believe Him/Her?

Question 5
Why did God create this confusion with so many religions? Why did He/She not give us only one religion to follow?

Question 6
What is the purpose of life if everyone is going to die one day?

Having heard news of death in the recent past and now that I understand this as a reality, it scares me :( How lonely will it be when my parents are no more - this scares me to no end!

My parents are hoping I will mature over time to find answers by reading/introspecting and dealing with ambiguity until then.

Confidence is everything

Life has been teaching me many lessons. I am a good learner when I figure out things by myself. No amount of advice from others works for me. I have discovered the value of confidence and have also figured cheeky ways to get out off sticky situations. I try my best to pass my wisdom to the young ones :) Yes, to my younger unwilling sister who insists on making her own mistakes:(

But I keep doling gyaan :) as I am thrilled with my enlightenment.

M (tense, just before leaving for school) - ammA, nAn nagam cut panna marandhuten. nyAbagapaduta sonnen!
M - Inniki PT irukku and teacher check pannuvA. Romba strict teacher
P -  kai kAmi
P (After seeing) - Ok dhaan.
M - ila. onakku theiryAdhu yen teacher patthi
P - Ennakkum andha PT teacher irundhurukkA. Enakku theriyum ok?
M is almost in the verge of tears while ammA is rushing to bring the nail cutter
P - time ila M. nAn sollaradha kelu.
P - Teacher ketkarache kai-a kAmi. Confident-a kAmi
M - ??
P - Straight-a kAmi negam cut panninA madhiri
P - Teacher oda kaN-a straight-a paru.. Confident-a kamichA teacher kku doubt varAdhu
P - nee thalaiya kuninju pArthA teacher kku doubt vandhu onnoda kaiyya check pannuvA
M was doubtful but decided to roll with it as it was already late

Curious as to what happened to M ?
She did escape with my tactics :)
