Positivism?

 Well..Now what is this you must be wondering what the heck is this word now?As per Wikipedia..

positivism, in philosophy, generally, any system that confines itself to the data of experience and excludes a prior or metaphysical speculations. 

 Now do we deal with data in real life or we speculate lot of things? Ofcourse Indian culture is all about speculation..After birth we speculate about the kids entire life by his date of birth! Can we really define someone and confine his/her life on date of birth? And then it continues we buy house and speculate about the angles and best way to build things. Then speculate about everyday with so called horoscopes? Then speculate married life with so called Kundali match!
  So of these might or mightn't have any scientific evidence.I am nobody here to speculate or disabuse about the centuries old customs.But sometimes you wonder who must have started these? Who has such a mind to complicate life with these?I might even be wrong in associating positivism with these!But who cares !It's my blog...
