The life has been passed on to me, I would say, with all the enriched heritage of culture, religion, knowledge and amalgam of many more things. I have grown up listening to others and sharing their outlook on all the matters under the sun. At times, I wonder, do they truly speak their mind or it’s the sheer legacy (what they inherited from their families) that makes them speak so. Do they realize what impression they leave behind on the masses? Eventually, we all hold some responsibility towards the society we live in.
The history, for that matter even science says so. We, the human species, evolved over the period of time .Yes we did and the best species so far now became the “worst” amongst all the species. No, No … I am not talking about genes and no genetics involved. Chromosomes and all the biological compositions remained perfectly balanced in this so called “Homo sapiens” but the growing adulteration in the cerebrum. The human values and the morals, we actually inherited, were tangled and slowly diminished.
The awareness I do acquire now does makes me more intellectual or it just leaves me with many more questions unanswered and this is what makes me think “ Am I a free bird or yet in a shell”.
Beautiful piece of writing my dear. Wow! Its very true...is our increasing awareness enlightening us or is it leaving us all the more confused....I agree with the latter..it is confusing us even more than before..Keep posting!
ReplyDeleteSo well written Sons.....but we are never totally free without a shell...Freedom needs boundaries to be defined! Keep writing..I love your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteGood thought to ponder... As one of my friend says... "we are the sum of our experiences"... so when someone says we are the free bird... I question myself... Are we, really free birds or bounded by our own rationality?
