Against the System.

I hate those guys who are always satisfied with the system. People are so engrossed in so called there own lifes that they miss a lot of what is happening in this world so what has happened is they dont know that whatever that happens in this world even outside this small earth will influence them in some small way or the Other. I do agree we cant respond to each one of them.

Yes Respond not react coz if you react you wont know what is happening and the thing that is done is done. WHAT is this yet another Blog.

Man even I am incorrigble. Shit living with all of ye guys. I have become what I am.
This system sucks. None has the guts to stand up to anything. They just think that if they lie low they will be spared. Poor Souls. They dont know where they are standing.
If we want something we have to stand up for it. Dont lie down.

Governments all over the world try to use propoganda overtly or otherwise to influence and control peoples opinion. They have the money and the establishment.

It is only in India where the media is this free. Mostly in other countries media is in the hands of corporates. So there they are in this game to make money which they cant get much from the masses. So they turn to the establishment which usually promptly serves there purpose. The Prime examples would be US and Italy. Where there is not much anti establishment press.

I am not a judge of anything. Still I can express my opinion.

What do I post here ,about hypocrisy that is prevalent in our society? Or about the pretenses one keeps in this society?
Ok lemme tell you about that itself. Why why why. Shoot your questions. At yourselfs at your friends and every one you can get your hands to. But mind you dont scoot.

Now I will tell a very short version of Stranger by Albert Camus. I havent read this book I just want to make a point.
In the story the protagonist is a stranger. He comes to a city where he is a stranger. His problem is he doesnt have any pretensions he is just who he is and what he claims to be. nothing more and nothing less. So what happens in the story is as he is not pretensious he really holds a mirror to what others are. In the end those people fearing those who they really are. Unable to bear their own scrutiny eliminates the protagonist or something.

This is just a story which we can say is highly exxxagerated.

But still it does have some truth in it. That is we do pretend a lot. We pretend that we are not looking at someone. We pretend that we are really great. We pretend that we are sick. We pretend that we are OK. We pretend.....
But if then everyone pretends then what is the big deal ? Eh then the Question should be not what is the big deal. It should be why we pretend. We pretend when we are insecure. When we feel that if we show our true self. We might not suffice. Yes everyone has a certain amount of fear about this in his or hers mind.
But when the level reaches the sky it is extremely nauseating. Those guys and gals simply cause such a bitter taste in our minds. Not because they did something wrong.
There is nothing wrong with aspiring to be more than what you are. But there is something wrong with pretending to be more. It causes a lot of discomforts and problems etc.
I do agree for a social mechanism some amount of pretensions are necessary but it is when we cross this fine line that we need to be aware of.
But what does this so called limit translate to. It translates to more spontaneous behaviour. More genuine personality. Whereby people will be more tempted to trust. None can pretend to be genuine if he or she is not.
You dont need these cloaks. Live free.
PS: this is no way caustic. Still if you are ready to look deep within you. This is much more corrosive than anything I have written. It is entirely up to you.

Ah posting in this gives something of an openness and frankness which dont experience in other posts. Coz I can shed most of my pretenses here. Or can I ? Still I do shed some of them. I dont care what others think. ALL most all guys around me are according to me Fucked up. They are so focussed or unfocussed that they dont really know where they are or what they are. I feel that their condition is really pathetic.
What do I feel about Myself. Self critical Evaluation is an important and a dangerous thing. This should be done carefully. Why dangerous because if you are not truthful then it can create false beliefs and ideas in your mind. I dont want to do that.
Its natural for a person any person to be doubtful of what they are. I am not an exception. This is because people change over any period of time. AND they will not be aware. IF somebody is really sure about himself and he thinks so. Then it means that he might be not that aware of the reality.

As far as I am concerned. Everyone evaluates themselves by what they feel they are capable of and others evaluate you by what you have done.
THE evaluation would follow in the next post. I dont think I would be doing justice to myself if I make a mockery of this. So I have to think and write.
AND most probably I will. OFcourse I have to say most probably.
