'socital wellbeing' - A state of being of a group of people to whome conformity to a set of rules saposadly 'etched' to
completion by what i call 'self-proclaimed era-defining' thoughts , which otherwise should qualify as being nothing more than
'progressive cleshe' ,
Add the indian aspect to it and 'the samosa of life' gets a spicy flavour to it , what with its
emotions(complicated and layered once at that),and the big fat alloo of uncertainity stuffed at the very core of it.what that
throws up is the dangerous recipee of indulgence.Propelled by the urge to grab a hefty pie of which , people end up compromising
on the absolute.
A trip abroad on wrk, inflated bank balances and as a result of it , enough money for remitences back home .. sounds like the india story !!!
heres more ...uninformed,purely fantacy driven , voracious apetite to the $-factor , non-cognizince of whats expected ,top it with the habit of
fretting on the elusive.
How many times have we disliked the experience of being reminded of the fact that the correctness,quality,completeness are the desired
vertiues that result out of time-taking,persevering effort.Yet i truley commend the never dying spirit with which humans dare to dream to take
the shorter path , ofcourse only to be defied by time.Yaaa I know .. only if 20 years of youthful lifetime was time enough for us to complete
all our obligations of wanting to amass enough money, to have bungi-jumped in newziland,romanced in france, felt the cold realites of antartica,
,burnt our hands in the stock market ,taken a shot at a casino in Vegas, wondered at the misery engulfing a millionaire ...before finally
looking within and reconsiling ourselves of our worth.All this with the added complexity of having to compete with a billion of them ... I get it.
We surrender ourselves to the mercy of our resources(our sences) and fail to recoupe when its time,But the situation is not so rosy either.Rather
look at it this way .... a billion of them thinking alike , which rule of probability does that satisfy.Thats testimony to how restrictive we have been thinking
The fact that there is no sanity in thought and the insecure lives that most of us lead , there is every reason to believe that our steriotypes dont work.Quite
intreguing to see that in this 'era of accomlishments' we seem to have parellely distenced ourselves from our roots.I see Intelectuals suffer,
at the hands of some very ordinary ideas , great thinkers compromising on values. The bottom line being that its the completeness in the understanding that
counts , irresective of what we do. I dont think a man who has a holistic view on all factors influencing life will ever be a source of chaos to the society,
Where there is noise here are imbalances,infact disproportionate numbers of any kind is also cause or alaram, and when we thin of BIG numbers we think of
population and ofcourse we think of .....!! he he .But the bueaty of this universe being that there is nothing absolute which includes the existance of the Universe
in itself... so then right or wrong is only relative and temperory... as temperory as ourselves.That explains why every suggesssion can have a counter argument
to it and it can be won on very loose grounds as well.But if some practises can give us a temperory sense completeness its well worth a try.
