World Of Magic

The most fascinating fact about a child’s mind is that it is so naive. Of course I am still in my teen days and cannot make any bold statements about the maturity of a mind but I for one know that I and most people of my age have lost the power to see or feel the vibes of magic. The word magic when put forward in a casual conversation immediately stimulates a serious of bizarre and surreal images in our mind. What comes to our mind is a man dressed in black with eye liner for make up doing the usual card trick. But that is not what magic is about and for all I know the only one with the answer to what magic truly is, will be a child.

Let’s go back to when we were children, when we did not know that it was our father but believed an overweight man from the North Pole dropped in our presents under the Christmas tree. When the rainbow was God painting the sky not a phenomenon caused due to splitting of white light. When the rain was a phenomenon caused when the clouds cried and not because of a process explained in our science textbook. This is the world we used to live in, a world of magic. What happened? Why it all went away? When I ask myself that now the answer is quite simple ‘we grew up’.  

Science was implanted into our minds and now everything which was magical was yet another boring chapter in our books. The conflict between science and magic has been debated over for ages.  But if we look at it neither favouring nor disregarding any of the sides it is simple, science explains magic. It is merely an explanation of all the magical things created by the lord and it is very accurate giving it a blunt finish because not everyone likes perfect.

The newspaper and other form of media are an open testimony to the fact that throughout the world New Years Eve was a magical eve adorned with firework, people singing drinking and merrily dancing. But if instead of partying and creating magic a man looks at the facts that clearly state that a New Year is nothing but the earth completing one revolution around the sun then the magic collapses.

So all I am trying to convey is that we should let science prosper let this world develop but at the same time never forget that this world is filled with magical stuff and we are its magicians.
