Me against the World
Thursday, March 11, 2010 | Author: Joseph Thankachan
I live in a strange world

Religion
where believing that others' religious sentiments are inferior to one's own

where bombs and guns are a medium of salvation and where innocent people are killed in the name of God

where logic is inferior to religious thoughts

where going to church is more important than actually following the Bible

where GOD is an instrument of his own followers


Life
where following your dreams is considered a cardinal sin

where doing what you believe is going against some people's likes and in the end becomes going against the world

where one who was shunned before for their thoughts are welcomed like kin by the same folks

where money decides who's whose friend

where women are adored as Goddesses but treated as slaves otherwise

where all principles of life are restricted to books 

where people who are supposed to protect something / someone are responsible for destroying it

where the worst enemy is in fact your best friend

where one's destiny is determined by their caste, creed, looks rather than their actual potential

where first impression is the last impression

where we make sure a disabled person feels they are not normal especially by sympathizing with them

where parents think all their children have to do is fulfill those wishes which they couldnt achieve




Love and marriage
where looks are the first and mostly the only criteria for marriage

where marriage is decided by relatives

where a guy and a girl from same religion but different castes cant spend their life together

where the best relations are made with those whom you may have met a few days back

Politics
where a low IQ, incumbent, goon is chosen to rule you

where people spend their time watching TV when they should be choosing who ll lead them

where a country which speaks of peace and stability has the highest number of nukes, is one of the biggest exporters of weapons, and has been instrumental in many wars

where speech is free but comes at a huge price sometimes at your own risk

I live in a strange world and wonder
how much more stranger
have I to become to survive
in this strange world

Buddy, we all have to choose our own paths to attain our destiny...it aint gonna be easy...but the fun part is to believe in something, live (and die) by it and convince everyone about it..thats what lifes all about...
