Science and superstition

The conflict and contradiction between Science and Superstition is inevitability. Science is light; but superstition is absolute darkness in darkness. Science gives priority to analytical reasoning with an existence of logical elements; but superstition abodes in the weakness of human mind that relies upon certain mystic power not having any base from scientific angle of vision. Superstition retardates the growth human civilization but science is very much keen on accelerating that for the benefits of mankind. Civilization advances with the development of science and technology. So the utility of scientific reasoning is beyond all arguments.

Now the question what stands for superstition? In a wider sense superstition means unreasoning fear for the unknown mysterious elements yet to be explained in the light of science. It is a term denoting false or bias as scientific explanations of all mysteries are made possible today or tomorrow with advancement of science. What appears today a real mystery tomorrow that can be explained inevitably with reasoning of science? Superstition initiates from a point where science apparently fails to explain any occurrence with valid reasons at our disposal. It thrive its roots down to the soil of religious faith. It is a practice or blind faith handed down from generation after generation. As Goethe said,”Superstition is a part of the very being of humanity.”

In common language superstition is a term of disgrace or reproachable senseless belief based on fear out of ignorance. It brings about many harmful as well as shameful practices with no explanation to our intelligence and wisdom. No.13 is unlucky. None knows the reason but it is universal belief. Crossing of a cat before a moving vehicle on the road is very much prone to an accident. It’s a bias belief. Still it is continuing. Harmful practices on superstition sprouts up as a regular episode in remote villages where light of education is yet to peep in to that extent by which the villagers can fight out the vices of superstition.

Science is always reason binding. The superstitious are to be torn out with scientific explanations. Science aims at rigorous activation of logic in human minds. We should come into conclusion; there runs no mystery in nature. Everything is well knitted in the laws of science.

Science is always developing. There is no ultimate of it. Experiments and observation are going relentlessly. But nature is full of mysteries. So many mysteries are yet to explain by scientific theories. Superstition spreads its cobweb of net where science finds certain limitations to explain the mystery. So it’s a prime requisite to collapse the wall of mystery hidden in nature with the dynamite of scientific logic.

We are not supposed to indulge omens as these are the clutches of superstition ensuring our logic to devastation. Whatever may be the incidental effect it should be appreciated not to be a victim of omens as there is no truth behind it? Right at this moment cause of superstition may be unidentified but that is definitely be explained a day with the logic of science.

Illiteracy and ignorance is the happy zone where superstition starts breeding. Education brings conscience and consciousness fights out superstition to spread. Naturally it is the call of the day to stretch the boundary scientific education in all sectors of society.

Superstition is a social malice. It is well cultivated in remote villages by vested interest people. We are obviously to promote the culture of science in order to get rid of the gimmicks of the superstition.         

Students and concentration

Man can be classified into two categories: - “ACHIEVER AND NON-ACHIEVER”. We always remember achievers as they leave a significant impression in the bed of society. Non-achievers always remain behind the curtain. The reason is very simple. Non-achievers never leave any impression as such in our mind to be counted at any worth. So, to forget non-achievers is nothing uncommon. What do achievers do? They do the same thing, but in a complete different way. Achievement never comes as a spark. Renewal of failures fuels the golden possibilities of achievement. Most of us do not comply with this basic phenomenon. So, we collapse with the test of failure.

If we analyze the reason of failures so many findings with perfect exposure will surface up as a way of keen observation. Lack of perseverance, lack of dedication, lack of determination, lack of self-confidence, lack of self-esteem and lack of win-win spirit will be placed as the front-liner shortcomings to achieve success. If we go for a scanning of the reasons of failure nothing but lack of concentration and dedication will be taken as top seeded virus that spoil our enterprising endeavour aiming at to achieve success to be ended in smoke. The more we step up our power of concentration, the more we come close to achievements. So, achievements and growing power of concentration are supplementary to each other.

However, talking over at length on achievements vis-à-vis non-achievements has been going so long. Now let us enter into precise arena. Students are also fabulous seeker of achievements during their academic life. It is no way an exaggeration to iterate convincingly that no-deviating concentration plays a distinctive role in student life. Students are over inspiring and enthusiastic to have a brilliant academic career, but in many cases they remain as simple and infertile dream.

Students cannot calculate the zone of their mistakes. If they ponder over the issue they will discover that they can never take the timely concrete resolution on the need of concentration during their academic life, so unsuccess appears. The difference between success and unsuccess is hair breadth. Crossing the boundary of unsuccess a student can easily reach the illuminating world of success provided he keeps on improving his power of concentration. A student should always keep it in mind that non-achievers are lost in the run of time. So, importance of non-bulging concentration in student life remains always unchallenged and uncontested. 

Generation to be taught

Education is the incandescent flame that ignites the lamp of both knowledge and wisdom in order to give the birth of innovative ideas blended with creative concepts with a marked difference and distinction. Naturally education the basic flavor of our life and influence of it in our life is reflected with umpteen variations. Individual education strengthens ones mental power and side by side it mends ones intelligence with logical analysis. It helps us in manifold ways in the walk of life as a faithful guide.

When we talk of education male folk, as statistical data reveals, gets priority even in the 21^st century. It is shameful to note female folk in comparison to male folk is still underscored subject to the opportunities being rendered to them for better education especially in developing or underdeveloped countries. Sometimes their privilege is under estimated in consideration that they are the reproductive machinery. It is endless shame to us and in reality this attitude is a curse to a civilized nation.

Needless to mention, female folk is the source of creation because of their reproductive organ that nature gifts them. When a baby is born, male baby or female baby is no matter, none but a mother takes care of him/her in ultimate affection. A growing baby gets the first-hand learning from the mother in the best way. The baby gradually grows up and mother teaches him/her how to hold the moral values of aloft uncompromisingly. Without overruling the responsibilities of a father even the least it can be said with firm conviction and no dispute to raise as such mothers educate a generation to serve the nation as a whole. New generation is better learnt from mothers.

A mother has above all a passionate and soft touchy mind. She is always vigilant to protect and develop her own creation at the teeth of all opposition. She never wants her own creation being spoiled to any extent. It is her only longing to see her creation spotless and unblemished. Besides this, a mother is the best icon with the essence of all reliability to impart the sense of education to her child. The role of mothers in this context is second to none. There arises the appropriateness of the concept that a woman educates a generation. Let any fragment of controversy in this respect be discarded not in roundabout way but straight forward.
