musing

I believe that developing a critical mind is an essential duty of a human being. But sometimes, we get too blinded by fervor, passion and emotions. Riding on the waves of popularity and acceptance. Jumping onto the bandwagon, seeing issues on the surface and not understand how one small ripple can cause a storm elsewhere. Eventually losing sense of what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is not.

I fear it's already happening.

It's always easy to see things on the surface and then to want to play swashbuckler. But to truly understand how society functions, how mankind will react to certain forces will require more than just that and at times, a certain tight control. This is the reality, welcome to the real world. Mankind must realise that all sentient beings are imperfect and some noble ideas cannot exist in material world, not unless everyone is willing to see things beyond their ego. These noble ideas never did exist successfully for long in anywhere else in the world in any period of time in history.
