Panjabi Falsafa
Growing up in India more specifically Panjabi , I remember the folks and hymns that I used to listen at that time that goes like 1. "Tera chamm nhi kise de kamm auna pashuyan de hadd vikde" which translates to " "Nobody will benefit from your skin; even animals' bones have worth." it's a religious hymn that shows us that we can wear the clothes of animal's skin, we can sell their bones, make medicines from them but humans body will either be burnt or graved without any significant help to someone. A Waste!. 2. "tere bina Mera kon ni mittiye" (Rajnit Bawa song) which translates "Hey soil, who is mine except you" this is just a main verse of song the whole song says that your family, your youth, your fights, your money, your passion everything will become soil (nothing) at the end what are you so much proud of these materials that are destined to become soil (nothing). 3. "paani deya bulbulleya ki buneyadan teriyan " (lok tath or societal facts by Chamkila) which means "hey water bubble, what is your validity/structure" This metaphor compares human life to a water bubble in the vast ocean of the universe—fragile, fleeting, and insignificant. Just as a bubble vanishes in moments, our existence is momentary when contrasted with the timelessness of the universe. Although these are not some hardcore nihilistic believes, these sayings humbles a person's spirit to not think that he is everything because at the end your life, everything you know will be nothing. This my friends is one of my philosophies the passive nihilism, it gives relief from anxieties, makes me kind to others and keeps me humble. How do you think Nihilism got to India? Is it because of Sufis? Make sure to comment, give me one of your personal or regional philosophy. Thanks you5
