Passion needs a portion of insanity, to survive in. A certain amount that doesn't make you insane really, but that doesn't leave you socially sane too. It is what gives birth to a new form. Any new form of idea, art or any life is a child of passion.
Patience is the gift of time, the only gift that survives the test of time. It helps you to make sense of an utter chaos. It reveals why and hows of everything. It reveals what matters and what doesn't. It has all the answers in its lap. It is the virtue that nurtures life in the toughest of times.
Passion and patience are just like the mother and the father. For any new form to take shape with your actions, there has to be a beautiful union of passion and patience within yourself. Both of them must not only let each other survive but must also compliment each other in the most romantic of ways, coming together to achieve what none of them could in itself. This creates an environment for a new life to happen. A life that is not just a flash that sparks and dies away. A life that is not just a fight for survival. But a throbbing colorful life.

If by any chance there is an ultimate, if there's an infinite, anything else compared to it would be worthless. This thought once comes within creates both fear and hope. Fear of having spent an entire known lifespan in pursuing worthless, and hope of having something better ever seen or imagined.
Clearly, pursuing worthless makes no sense even if there is no possibility of worthwhile. But the concept of relative success, even relative philanthropy or even more of relative spirituality makes worthless worthwhile. This creates a haze over a clear choice. Relativity has to be gotten over with, if absolute is to be pursued intensely.

Trying hard on something to make it come to you easily - It is so contradictory that it can only be human.

For a reform, a threat of revolution is necessary. - Bhagat Singh
The root cause of corruption lies in the mutual conflicts of masses. To resolve these conflicts comes into play a 'supreme common power - the government'. For such a society to function, its government must function well and anybody rebelling must be destroyed. The ultimate judiciary control over the masses in the hands of few is bound to lead to a corrupt state. So corruption is the fundamental design flaw of such a system.
There have been a great number of revolutions through out the history and an enormous number of revolutionaries made the ultimate sacrifice for the betterment of the system, and yet not a single clean state emerged out of all of this.

As I dig deeper into my thought process, the thoughts operating at that level become more and more trivial. Mind automatically creates a complicated illusion out of some simple beliefs it accumulates.

Love for mystic begins after mundane has lost its charm.
Before that there's no point in trying to understand it, after that there's no inclination to understand it.

Whatever quality has to come in life, happiness or sadness, emptiness or fullness, boredom or joy, has to come from within; otherwise its just a compromised response.
- To whichever extent we can control ourselves is the maximum limit of control we have over anything else.
- If we can't control something and are yet deeply affected by it, we are enslaved by it.

One off impulsive acts can change circumstances, at times quite drastically, but its the routine that can change the very quality of life.
