@ Naveen, i respect that you felt that assumed judgement was a bad idea.You have different opinion which is perfectly alright.I am not at all saying you should believe in astrology,nor was i saying you should do that.I was uneasy with your comments about my relative,which you clarified.
I appreciate that.
All good here
Coming back to the topic, basically when people tend to lose hope with continued bad patches in life and it is human nature to hang on to some hope so that their problems could end.I guess some turn to god, some rely on their capability, some turn to astrology, some seek peace with philosphers and so called Gurus. Thats about it i feel.
I myself believe in god, i am not a big fan of idol worship but when in need, when i pray to god to help me, it gives me strength and peace,not that my prayers actually do anything at all but atleast i feel better.Hope you guys get what i am trying to say.
My ideology of God is simple, there is some abstract power that governs everything and is more powerful than us and thats about it.
I have also seen people who are obsessed with astrology and idol worship,which is completely wrong.There is no substitute to hard work,if someone is trying to find an easy way out through astrology/worship etc. to avoid hard work, then they are sadly mistaken.
