The Season for Reasons never arrive

The Television and the Internet can be enjoyed in so many languages today. The globe has shrunk and sort of become a single entity. Anybody and everybody can hear, see and read the same thing, anything and everything. Is there a use of conquering the world?

I wonder how many times we have raped a woman or murdered a man in our imagination. Are we entitled to it? The law does not say much about it. As long as we don’t harm anyone physically or mentally – I guess the law can’t do much about it. Till such time, we continue to commit these mental crimes

Being intelligent and being intellectual are two absolutely different things. All intellectuals are intelligent, but all intelligent are not intellectuals.

The knowledge that one acquires with age is not the knowledge of college or university formulas, or how to play with words. The acquired knowledge is of people, places, and actions. This is a knowledge which one does not procure by words or by sprouting up formulas learnt during the academic era, but by the touch, sight, sound, victories, failures, sleeplessness, devotion, love — the human experiences, reverence and emotions of this earth, of oneself and other men.

Man today assumes that he thrives between walls, between cabins and between cubicles, surrounded by technology and breathing the AC air, beginning their career, growing and ultimately dying. This is our modern age. We have forgotten to realize that human beings are more significant than being merely efficient, and that mere college degrees does not mean a sheer accumulation of knowledge

I don’t suppose that our society is a free society. A society can only be a free society when it learns to leave the person alone and does not ostracize him for his views. A society can only be a free society when it is absolutely safe for an individual to be unpopular. But that again is a myth. A society does not have a mind. So there is not question of a liberate minded society.

We are so proud that we think we have abolished slavery. Though slavery exists in some form or other, we adopt today a preference of turning a blind eye and pretend that it does not exist. Perhaps deep down in our consciousness or in our unconsciousness, we have understood and accepted that there is not much difference between a slave and being a citizen under a master or a democratic system.

As a slave cannot take or accept any kind of duties, responsibilities, commitments or contracts without the consent of his/her master, the citizen too cannot do much without the consent or permission of the legal system. (You need a permit/license to do any kind of biz - you just cannot wake up one fine day and feel like starting a biz. No sir! You are not free to do so. Sorry about that.)

Neither a slave nor a citizen is a free person. Those who are held as slaves or are citizens may well perceive to be free persons; it is just that their freedom is not respected.
