Moving towards complexity

Yet another addition to the world of bloggers... Have been thinking of starting one since the last 2 years... looks like the shubha muhurat has finally arrived as i get younger by an year. :) Hope to keep creating new blogs on a regular basis.

I should thank the novel Shantaram for the sudden motivation i got to start this. One of the few real good novels set in India. While the novel was dragging at times, had some unrealistic / idealistic thoughts and certain unbelievable sequences for a real life story, the way in which the Mafia don separates good from evil impressed me a lot. Hence this first post is dedicated to that idea.

The don says "The whole world is moving towards certain complexity. Some choose to call this complexity, GOD". He further adds, anything that aids the movement towards complexity is good and anything that inhibits that is evil. And with man being the most complex living being in the universe, any killing of a human being is evil.

Now, I believe this is a real interesting way of looking at the universe. Of course, one doesn't need such a complex explanation to say it is evil to kill a human. But, anything that aids the movement towards complexity is good :)

P.S: Doesn't mean all my posts are going to be complex :)
