A Vision... For The Noble Ones... By The Noble Ones
Hmmm... I wonder about what is happening to the society around us. Sometimes when I lay my crackpot head on the pillow and start thinking about what I am going to in my life, the other part of me immediately answers "What is there to think about that? I know that. I am going to do research in Physics. Pay is good. Satisfaction guaranteed. What more do you want in life, u chooth?" I guess it's better to put this out as a convo between me and myself (henceforth referred as Arc1 and Arc2.)
Arc1 : Yeah, I know that but there must be more to life than that right?
Arc2 : Obviously, we know we are going to make a mark and then leave the world.
Arc1 : I was talking more about where the human race is heading, in general.
Arc2 : Oh, ok...
Arc1 : We live in a world full of lies, deceit, greed, hatred, jealousy, animosity, tragedies, betrayals and... death. Is too much to ask for my own world? My own world in which everyone around me and myself are happy, contented, peaceful and live blissful lives. Is it too much to ask for unadulterated happiness? Sometimes it saddens me when I look at issues of morality and communalism that entwine our society. It's a poison that runs through our veins, a poison we know is killing us but yet... no one, not even me does anything about it.
Arc2 : You know you are strong. Fight it, beat it. Haven't we always believed that we possess the inner strength to do what it takes to have our own way with life?
Arc1 : Yeah dude... But how long can I take it? Every time I feel I have battled this world and gained some new experiences, I feel drained out my energy. I am being devoured by my own thoughts. Every time I believe I can stand alone on the shores of trust and face the Waves of the Ocean of Time and remain unscathed, I am being pushed back along the shore. When I take two steps ahead and face the waves again, I drown. Maybe I am emotionally and mentally tired. Tired of life itself. Every time I believed I alone could have made a difference, I lacked the courage within myself to act and found my beliefs slowly withering away. All through my life, I had decided that I would not let life take control of me but I will shape my life as I desire. But now, I am being proved grossly wrong. I feel that Life along with the Wheel of Time are playing dice with me. I no longer feel that I have the courage within myself to face life, but yet the only thing that keeps me going is this....
Arc2 : That we are not that weak, and life is a challenge and I'm going to do whatever it takes to conquer my life and that I'm not gonna give up now... not now, never!!!
Arc1 : Exactly!!!! But the motivation does not sustain me for as long as it used to before. But now when I say this, Yeah, there is a ray of hope, I'm not as weak as I thought I was. So it means I have to go on.
Arc2 : Yeah!!! That's the spirit!! Now while we are at this, what about that morality shit?
Arc1 : What is morality exactly? Is it adherence to a specific set of actions prescribed by society or is it the will to do something in such a way that it does not affect anyone adversely?
Arc2 : Beats me... I guess we will know only when we face such circumstances and when our moment of truth finally arrives.
Arc1 : Yeah, I guess you're right. So tell me... do you think that we guys can actually be monogamous?
Arc2 : I doubt it dude... But maybe Love and Sex can be separated, maybe they cannot. At this point, what I believe is that it's Ok to have sex with another person whom you know is sure is doing it just for the enjoyment part and it's a mutual consensus that it's gonna be only fun, nothing else. But the person you trust as your partner for life must be well aware of it. This seems hypothetical, but maybe reality is different. You cannot just have sex with another person and expect your partner to be cool about it. By partner, I mean the one you love.
Arc1 : I'm still having my doubts, though I like the idea.
Arc2 : Nothing is perfect. Not even my theories about love and sex. But when a fault is found.. fix it. Till then enjoy... But remember... it's important to have a single person whom you trust and you know is your partner... for life. But what I'm saying does not imply that you become a fuckin prostitute and keep fucking all day long and wind up with AIDS or Syphilis or something like that.
Arc1 : Excellent!! All bow down before the great Arcane Crapper.
Arc2 : No applause, please. **grinning**
