When some one hears the word, it does mean any child.Recently I met a small boy who keeps asking questions what is this? What is that? How is this? Why not like this? I was unable to answer and at one point he made me realize what? Why? When? How? Can make people more sensible and even thought provoking. I was shocked that I would have never thought about such common things which we day to day use in such a perspective.
The small boy asked me “what happens if the world stops suddenly???” .Then I told to him, it ll never happen. Then he again asked why is it so?. He threw his ball in the ground and told me “see, the ball has stopped from rotating??”. I never knew earth has such a demonstrationJ. I didn’t know how to answer him and rather my aim was to escape as of now. I told “god keeps on rounding it like how your mom used to make you round in a merry-go-round”. He believed it. . I knew it was one big imagination of mine contrary to rotation and revolution of earth which he is ought to study some day.
We were on a walk with few of my friends. And the small boy asked again looking at the sky. Why is sky blue? .I thought to myself.Inspite of so many girls, why me??? I was literally blinking. He kept on asking the same question. I told its god’s creation. Then he again asked but why blue? I then convinced him telling god might have spilled the ink while he was busy filling it up. He looked at the sky for a long time, and at last accepted it with a highly disappointed face thinking “can I believe what she says???”I was rather happy that I could convince the guy somehow, even though the story sounds to be one dramatic tale. On the other hand, I was getting prepared for the next question.
After a pretty long walk, my friends were on a discussion that “how beautiful our hostel life was and how parents make their works done when we are at home?” .It was in fact the most funniest discussion about the holiday experiences of about some 6 odd month. I could sense that the guy was listening so keen into the discussion. And I expected that the probability of the next question lies in the discussion domain. He suddenly asked “Why that is your mom is your mom???” and I could guess he means the next question too…”why that is your dad is your dad???” We were all surprised to answer. I was rather shocked. One of my friends immediately uttered its GOD creation. He then again provoked who is God???
Who is god?? Does god exist?. It’s a million dollar question that has remained unanswered. The most debated topic maybe ever since the evolution of mankind. I know if I had answered “god created the world”. He can easily counter this question by another one,"If God created the world, then who created God?”. I know the guy could imagine such things because he is born to question. I myself had billion questions. If you argue that everything is created by something then who created your creator?If you still argue that God was not created by anyone and that he came into existence by himself, then why cant the world come into existence by itself. With so much of questions to myself, I thought I could never answer the question.
By the way we reached my friends home, he got diverted by his friends who were playing in the streets. And I gave one big sigh of relief that “Am escaped" !. The best part about it is after I met him I started questioning myself sometimes sensible and some times insensible to the core. Besides fun, I realized Questioning is an art.
