I have always been the conventional thinker who has had a very strong belief, almost faith in the old school of thought.
Off late though, I have begun to question the sustenance of this very institution.
From my favourite recreational activity to my strongest beliefs in the way things work, everything is changing.
Change they say is inevitable. True.
But is all this change around me for the better?
The answer to this is of course, subjective.
Is corruption the only way to get work done?
Does something like a common man exist or is it just a political myth?
Is rash driving, arrogant lane cutting, total disrespect for the red light and other commuters on the road a desirable behaviour?
Is “it’s a dog eat dog world anyways” an excuse in the first place?
Is reservation the only solution to the literacy problem?
Does the term minority make you laugh or is it just me?
For some people, these few could be futile things with reference to the big picture. But what is true is that these are affecting me at the moment.
Some people are the change when change happens.
Some go with the flow.
Some take a step back and spend a moment contemplating and then comply, willingly or helplessly.
I very naturally find myself not belonging to any of the above categories as I want to believe that I am not helpless and I do not wish to comply. This is the childish streak in me :o)
I do not expect to change the world. All I want to do is to be able to live my life standing by my virtues.
Whether I am able to do that, only time will tell.
It’s getting increasingly difficult for sure.
