Personal diary...

Apart from this 'public' blog, I used to write a personal diary, not giving anybody any sort of access to its contents. I used to write basically my mind in my diary, all those things that I cant/dont like to share with anyone.
I started writing way back in 1995 or 1997(cant remember exactly when) for a couple of years. Then I stopped for a while and again resumed in 2003. (Actually I had stopped for 'quite a while'- 5 years is not a short break). Since then, I have been filling pages after pages of my 'mindwork' daily(just makes me appreciate my patience and my handwriting!!). I havent let anyone read(although my brother has tried to read a few lines). I havent found the time to read it either.
I have tried reading my previous year's diaries, but when I read, it only makes me feel that I have written in such a kiddish manner! So, I tried bringing some maturity into it.

People have told that its a good habit to write and I know it too. But its just that I have suddenly started feeling that I need to stop writing.
Reason: 'I' dont read, neither would I want anyone read, then why write? (The fact that it took so many years for me to realize this, comes to me as a surprise!)
It has been atleast a month since I wrote anything.
What say?

Ignorance

I was just thinking how strong the effect of ignorance is on people. It makes them think so incorrectly, do wrong things, perform actions for which they themselves will repent later etc.,.
I cant believe that it is so strong;for, how else could all this be happening!

I have observed that no matter how strong your so-called destiny(if you believe in one) is, it is 'your will' and only 'your will' that can drive this ignorance away.

Of course, your decision to will to take up this marathon task could be influenced by others/discussions. But, it is only 'your' will to gain knowledge that can help you.
Thats what 'I' have learnt.
