We have become very good at pinning the
blame somewhere, as long as no fingers point at us. History evolves every day,
with new events, new thoughts, and new ideologies. But to be honest, all these
are inspired by one or a few controlling men. We have more sheep like people
who are followers. Naturally then, if there is a no mind situation, the
stronger will get stronger and rule the no mind ones. And history keeps
documenting the changes.
But we never learnt to live in the present
moment and never tried to influence the masses to action resulting in peace.
Gandhiji did, with a lot of sacrifice and got killed but we only talk about his
character and morals today. And that too, sitting in our comfortable homes over
a glass of wine, probably feeling important just discussing what the channels
are airing, blaming someone or another again.
We have lost ourselves, however much we
might have gained materially. Of no consequence if we have lost our souls.
