I have been reading "letters to lily", and saw a movie today. I realise that each of us live life on our own terms and problems arise when we try to set the same standards for others which we set for ourselves. Unfortunately the game all of us play is the same, but the rules we each abide by are different, and this is the root cause of clashes. But how will we live as a society if there are no common standards?, isnt a certain minimal amount of similarity necessary for people to live together? Who sets the rules? Are there always Rights and Wrongs? Again dont they vary with the rules which each one follows? I think, that even the judicial system has its own boundaries, and sometimes the judge's seat remains unoccupied. In some cases it can be replaced by our conscience, but that doesnt that end up being again restricted to an individual? I donot think there are any universal Rights and Wrongs. i think each one of us live in a world of our own. The reason we are living together, is that it so happens, that our worlds actually exist at the same time( I donot say co-exist!). But unfortunately being humans, and having the power to think and feel, we cannot stop ourself from looking at everything and everyone with the same reading frames. And neither does the human mind rest until it has clearly segregated the colors of white and black. Yes grey shades do exist, but does anything actually fall under this category?, do we want to place anything at all under this? Is it wrong to be undecided about things? At any point of time in our lives, can any of us say with conviction that " I am what I am".
I donot think so, for the simple reason, all of us have these little "me's" in us which display themselves at different times, situations and circumstances in our lives. And none of us is aware of this until this "me " actually pops up, that "hey thats actually me!". But there are some of us also who are the same, eternally, who donot find or get a circumstance, situation / opportunity to get away from what we have been all this while. And no one knows this, neither us nor anyone. Some of us may be aware of it, but keep it tethered somewhere deep inside, in abidance to the rules, for some its tethered for so long, that it ceases to exist... isnt that a pity?!
