Stop believing and start inquiring.

Stop believing and start inquiring.

A young man asked an old man about the difference between superstitious beliefs and religious beliefs. The old man replied, "I do not believe in either. Superstitious beliefs are created by religion, and man created religion."

The young man then asked, "Do you believe in God?" The old man responded, "No, God is also a creation of man."

Curious, the young man asked, "If you don't believe in anything, what do you believe in?" The old man replied, "Nothing. The moment I start believing, I will stop inquiring. Once I stop inquiring, I will lose the curiosity to know more. If I lose my curiosity, I will begin to accept anything that comes my way and ultimately lose my identity.

My identity should not be defined by religion, caste, creed, or ideology. I should evolve, explore, discover, and be excited to learn more. To achieve this, I must stop believing and start inquiring in life."

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
