Then & Now:

I’m happy I was born in an age of innocence and ignorance. I had so much to discover. We questioned the metaphysical things not every tradition or ritual. Closer to nature, I learnt everything is governed by laws of the nature. And we surrendered to nature.
1/4
In digital age, humans biggest loss is ignorance. Even a 10 yr old feels he knows everything. He has nothing to explore/discover. While, I grew up in a ‘I don’t know’ world he grows in a ‘I know everything’ world. We were improving ourselves, he wants to improve the world.
2/4
That’s where the conflict of the modern world lies. I want to control myself, he wants to control the world. I want to clean my room first. He wants to clean your room first. I grew as a warrior, he is growing as a social justice warrior. I introspect. He inspects you.
3/4
This urge to control the world, to have social justice, equality without self-improvement isn’t possible. Hence, frustration, conflict, intolerance, depression. Drugs. Abuse. Hate.
The problem is not with the world as much as with that person who wants to change the world.

End.
