Thinking of the scene in the SRK movie and humming ' we shall over come.. we shall overcome some day.. ' interspersed with ' hum honge kamyaab, hum honge kamyaab.. ek din'...
' Deep in my heart, i do believe.....'
Why don't i believe, why can't i believe... the way I am supposed to.. the way millions do, the way they believe and they fight and they make sure they bloody well made their own small difference to the world....
Why can't i believe that the water that i leave running while brushing will not all run out one day..
That when i shut the tap, i would have made any small difference in the lives of many others who don't have water to drink...
Why can't i believe that the 1141 tigers will be saved one day by people who will take it upon themselves and rage a war against the tiger killers.. and more importantly why don't i believe that when such tiger killers are caught and punished there will not be any others who will rise to take their place...Why can't i believe that any effort that we put in by blogging, educating will prevent the doom...Why do i just know in my heart that I will show my kids , such a page in a school book that ' this is how a tiger looked and that it was our national animal'...
Why can't I believe that by not using paper as indiscriminately as i now do i would make any damn difference to the forests on this planet...
Why can't i believe that by deploying environment friendly fuel and resources we can prevent the depletion of natural resources in any big way.. why do i know that even if i tried , there are thousands and thousands out there who spend their everyday lives , like we are all that matters, that we are the last to live on this earth..
Why can't i believe in any of these things and many more that I am supposed to believe in.. that i want to believe in..
Why can i so easily visualize doom ...?
' We shall overcome' seems a farce....

Necessity is blind until it becomes conscious. Freedom is the consciousness of necessity...
ReplyDeleteI would like to think that all of us believe...believe in change...however the human tendency of acting only when something becomes a necessity puts proactive efforts at bay...thought freedom is wot we need i suppose...
thanks for your free(dom) thought(s)...making us think :)
