Faith, Intution or Science


We sometimes do not have any explanantion for things that happen. Why was she failing in exams even though he was confident about it earlier? Probably she choked. Why? Why was he perenially unsuccesful in running a business properly even after being so highly educated? Maybe he wasn't made for business. Why? Why were there so many deep misuderstandings within the family? They were not so a few years back. What happened then? We know how far the nearest star is but we don't know how much more should we exert for achieving success.
These are just some of the questions that one fails to answer with one's normal knowledge and observation. Should we believe that answers to our such queries exist? Should we agree with Einstein and Shakespeare that god does not play dice, considering that we believe god exists? Do the positions of all the various stars and planets influence our daily lives? How we talk. How we eat. How much we succeed. Is astrology so much reliable that we can trust it like mathematics, a science that has never failed and only turned up with results that sometimes surprise even the most awakened minds? Perhaps Astrology is also one such science and just like mathematics it leads us to conclusions that sometimes belie our powers of observation.
So, for the time being it seems like we need to believe astrology for our own good, till someone does not come up with mathematical and logical explanations for all those mysteries.
