Counter clockwise rotations: coincidents?

The earth spins on it's axis counterclockwise


The earth revolves around the sun in counterclockwise


In fact all the planets in the solar system revolves in counterclockwise:


The Sun itself spins in counterclockwise:



In fact, most of the celestial bodies in the Solar system spins in counter clockwise (except Venus and Uranus)





And the entire Solar System revolves (and all other stars, planets, satellites etc. in our galaxy) revolves  counter clockwise:


The rotation of the pilgrimage around the Kaaba (Makkah, Saudi Arabia), which is thousands year old tradition that started during the time of Ibrahim (Abraham), is also counter clockwise. Hmm..coincident!!)

The Great Truths of Life

1. Respect all of who you work, live, and spend time with. Everyone deserves some level of respect, even though you may not feel for it



2. Don't exaggerate the events of suffering that you're going through right now. Eventually you will laugh on how you cried on spilled milk



3. Keep in mind, what you are enjoying now and most excited with, will give you sense of sorrow when you'll look back down the line of your life. The opposite is true as well



4. Help others without setting any expectations in return of your generosity. Life is not a business where you take calculated steps by looking into, for instance, Return on Investment (ROI). You are guaranteed to get the return, eventually, in a multiplied number but from some other unrelated and unexpected sources



5. Use time scale to reflect upon an event of life. What seems mountainous (too big to handle) on a shorter time scale could be proven as a little bump on the road of your journey



6. Never stop dreaming about your future. Everything else depends on some other factors, in one way or another, that you would have no control on your own



7. Try hard until you've exhausted all of your options, and remember, you'll never run out of options in this limited span of your life


8. Set incremental goals for your life and invest your every possible efforts towards reaching them one after another, so that you don't have to grief later on for not giving your best shot at it


9. Admit this: success and failure are not at your hand and are not a direct proportion to your efforts. There are N number of variables in this world that would define the success or failure for the effort you put forth but, regardless, your effort would take you there where not enough people have reached



10. Don't settle on the latest final discoveries on any aspect of life; there would be another final discovery very soon which would shake the older one, at least, if not nullifying that

Conundrum: who can see the rope?

Imagine a situation where a person is trapped deep into a well. For the trapped person, the area of visibility is through the opening of the well's small circle through which one can see the a narrow piece of blue sky. In that situation, the only thing that person can think of to escape is to climb up. That person would put his all his effort to climb up to get freed. There may be other options lying out there just next to the well which are beyond that person's grasp to understand or capture. There could very be a rope placed next to the well that has length to reach the trapped person. But for the trapped person, that won't give any peace or tranquility just because he or she isn't able to see that rope standing deep inside the well. But for the person who may be standing next to the well has the visibility to all the options that are possibly available including that rope. So he can just throw the rope from outside and get the person out of the well.

Now when you reverse the situation, the same person who was seeing all the options from outside, would be stuck with very limited visibility, if trapped deep in to the same well.

Shallow thinkers of Science

I am a student of Science and a strong believer that Science has taken the human race to the level where no other creation could ever reach. However that doesn't give one the license to be untruthful or a hypocrite. By watching the Cosmos series of Neil Tyson on FOX channel, I came to this realization that Science is the only discipline in this modern age where one can brag proudly about the fact on how absolutely wrong they were until now.

Claiming the fact that at this very moment they have uncovered a new truth until they get to the next discovery of truth which would sever this "new truth" completely, which paves the way to disapprove this same apparently "absolute truth". The claim that Science continuously evolve and correct itself, is the weapon that's been used blatantly to justify the bragging. While proclaiming the new truth, scientists sometime put a clause that says "all evidence and scientific tests prove that...", which is no less then deceiving as that claim is actually the "all" that they could perceive and hold within the limitation of human cognitive capacity.

Not to discuss the horrendous act when some claims are taken as "new truth" as the "majority of the scientist believes that...." which I saw in natural phenomenon like Global Warming where Statistical data is bend to prove every hypothesis. That turns into a funny and hypocritical stance to justify their ignorance by holding their finite capacity of knowledge processing . I don't believe that all the scientists are like that but the majority of the scientists who are vocal about the majesty of science fall under that category.

Why don't those "shallow thinkers" stop using the word "believe" while referring to science in general and Astrophysics in particular, while in the same account bashing people who hold the faith on the unseen by applying the wisdom about this infinite universe (or multiverse?) and acknowledging the great insignificance of human species?
