			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people are against religion because they argue that religion is a form of indoctrination.</p>
<p>I say that argument is a total utter bullshit.</p>
<p>No matter who you are, wherever you live, whatever your belief system is (or lack thereof), you ARE being indoctrinated. There&#8217;s no way escaping it.  </p>
<p>The TV shows you&#8217;re watching, are indoctrinating you everyday, with values, whatever that is, whether you like it or not, whether you realize it or not. Your parents, friends, families, newspapers. The dominant will influence the inferiors.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have your own mind.  We human just don&#8217;t have our own set of principles. We weren&#8217;t born with it. We learnt it from somewhere. That is a fact, and a sensible one that is.</p>
<p>We are what we read, what we see, and what we listen to.</p>
<p>Even our thought processes are not our own. It&#8217;s just basically a combination of what we experience (external), and what we think we know (by reading or seeing, again, external) , sometimes called the Stigmata.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not being indoctrinated by a heavenly belief system, then you are being indoctrinated by the human and worldly belief system.</p>
<p>One way or another.</p>
<p>We are not free even though we would like to think so.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s really no free will.</p>
<p>Only freedom of choice that&#8217;s confined to the larger predefined system.</p>
<p>You cannot escape it.</p>
<p>Now, make your pick, whether you want to get indoctrinated by a &#8220;religion&#8221; system,</p>
<p>or MTV.</p>
<p>Though shit.</p>

<p>On a second thought, passion trumps all of these. If you have passion in what you do, everything else is secondary, and all of the things listed here will come naturally. </p>
<p>If you are passionate, throw in any monsters in front, and it&#8217;ll be David vs Goliath. Passion gets you through hardship without you realize it&#8217;s being a hardship. It lets you fluidly move through obstacles.</p>
<p>Be passionate in what you do, everything else will be taken care of.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>..death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life&#8217;s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.</p>
<p>Your time is limited, so don&#8217;t waste it living someone else&#8217;s life. Don&#8217;t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people&#8217;s thinking. Don&#8217;t let the noise of others&#8217; opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.</p>
<p>From Steve jobs Stanford&#8217;s commencement  address : http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html</p>
