We are standing between two unpredictable. Both are in search of truth — one discovers it, the other reveals it. Both want to come closer to each other.
Conflict between them can be resolved provided both understand the merits inherent in each. The real culprits are impure expectations from both the sides. Both sides seem threatened by the diversity each side offers. If someone says, “earthquake is a divine chastisement sent by gods for our sins”, one may not necessarily support the argument of equating calamity with ethical failure. One may like to put a counter argument saying, “our sins and errors, however, enormous have not enough force to drag down the structure of creation to ruin.” We need to demarcate the expectations. Mutual incomprehension is not good for either. Faith and fact have always been a matter of debate. Some debates are not won by arguments but by understanding.
