WAR: Just these three letters are enough to cause mayhem and panic amongst people. The dictionary defines war as:"the waging of armed conflict against an enemy". What I wish to know is on one hand there are "human beings" who define war in hateful words in dictionaries, is it possible that the other members of the same species go around killing each other??? Who has given these people the authority to take a human life??? This may make me sound preachy but what right do we have to take a life when we can't replace one?... Okay, leaving aside, the destruction of human life what about the resources and monetary wastage that takes wealth. Seeing the uneven distribution of wealth; not only in India but world over, how can the rich and the powerful allow this Godlessness to continue??? This is a typical Grade-school moral teacher question!! What do I mean-"how can they"? They already have done it and will continue doing it... theres no stopping them... Theres a line from Spiderman which has till date continued to fascinate me..." Freedom is equal to responsibility." Its so true... So, while the R&P are "free" to do what they like, they should also take care of the repercussions. I say "free" in inverted commas because I believe they are not completely free. they just think they are. To tell the truth, somewhere deep down all of us are scared; scared to be free... It sounds ridiculous but it is true. How can, you say we in this 20th century be scared? Colonialism and slavery are no longer there. But thats what we think. Freedom is not just not being suppressed physically or a nation ruling over another. Its about being free as a soul. Tht's where we make a mistake. Just because no external power is not ruling us doesn't mean we are completely free. We are ruled internally. We are still afraid to test our boundaries. Because unconsciously we still believe that the Earth is flat and if we keep walking we will fall off the face of earth. We need to give it a shot and test our boundaries... Be prepared though, its gonna hurt a lot... actually more like falling off a bicycle and if we remember correctly it didn't hurt more than 2 mins. We just need to grit our teeth and push forward.

So have fun!! People, happy discovery!!!
