"Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile!"
-----Kurt Vonnegut.
Read the story in the link for some more questioning of faith:

There is how everyone wants to be in the beginning - never going against what they believe to be basically Good.We are all born with no morals, logic.Where the lesson of adaptive synthesis happens varies.Call it epigenetic, in the way it moulds your perceptive ego, it is scary.We learn our lessons from experiences that made an impact on us.
How true it is: If you ask the wrong questions you will get wrong answers.If you ask what do I gain from cut practice instead of what you stand to lose, you will never know when you changed directions. People carry this right/wrong lesson with them for life. They hesitate to ask ourselves the question why as much as how and what.They don't ask these questions because the uncertainty of not knowing the answers is not comfortable.
Then a desensitization process sets in. It doesn't hurt that much later because everyone is doing it. And if it continues to prick your conscience then you are an aberration.Someone like the protagonist in the movie Dombivili Fast.Not that all the other people are bad/evil. But if they left living on a day to day basis, I do not know how they would survive with all the guilt they carry.
Btw, I loved the name TPM cafe. Was flashback to TPM's rounds at KEM. Accepted, he was unapologetically brash, but his lessons stick around like Boomer chingam on your limbic cortex.
" RaviKiran,you can make mistakes because you are in KEM, which is like being in Fort Knox. If this patient were to sue you, then you, your grandfather and your grandfather's grandfather can spend the rest of your lives mopping the floors of the hospital paying the damages!!!!"
" You are the treating doctor, not Sai Baba!!!" (Thats such a TPM special....)
" Would you do the same if your father was the patient?!!"

His son gave me a 25/50 because i failed to state Mesothelioma as a cause for Pleural Effusion in my 1st Medicine term, this After i'd said TB, Pneumonia, and Bronchogenic Ca, Collagen vasc Diseases, CHF, Cirrhosis, Nephrotic Syndrome and Meig's :( and i was in II/I then! Full bal mana var viparit parinaam happened, now i always state Mesothelioma as the first cause, which quite obviously is a big mistake.
