I ramble...therefore I am

I don't know why but I feel the need to ramble again... I probably won't make much sense... I will probably contradict myself in every alternate sentence, but then thats the way it is! I ramble... therefore I am!

You know what the problem is? The problem is that life is not black and white… Life is rather like a spectrum composed of various hues and shades of grey… But that not how we look at questions that life throws at us… If you aren't with me, you must be against me!!! 

If you're secular, you're anti-Hindu… If you aren't left wing, you're capitalist, or even worse a pawn in the hands of corporates…..If you aren't pro-Anna, you're opposed to Lokpal… so on and so forth… This desire to create a neat division of our world into yeses and noes, into blacks and whites, into pros and antis is what is the root of so many problems.

And unfortunately that is what any democracy tries to do. It tries to arrive at a consensus or worse tries to bulldoze (influence is the better word no?) the minority opinion into submission. After all, governance would become impossible if there is no unity of thought or of action! And that is where the debate between democracy and anarchism lies... Why have an omnipotent, omniscient structure when God willed each man to his own! 

How would that world be? I would do what I really wanted to do and not do something just because someone would judge me by my actions. There would be chaos initially, but eventually the need for a super structure would disappear. No question of society or social mores or societal norms... Man will be how he was always supposed to be... fiercely independent and self reliant...

If only we could accept things and people the way they are and not try and make them what we would like them to be, the world would be a much better place to live in! 

After all, I am unique, just like everyone else :)
