Four days back, I had a rather meaningful conversation with
one of my closest friends, in which he insisted that I have to stop thinking
about finding solution for the world and to be logical enough to think for
myself, and myself only, rather than thinking of the well being of the others!
He said that I am repeating the same thoughts, circling around the very same
point in vain, living a big illusion about changing the world whereas it is “myself”
that I should really care about; my career, improving my life to be
"successful" and reach etc.
Now, I think he is right in some of what he demonstrated;
especially that one cannot change the world without starting with the man in
the mirror. That is utterly true! But, the change should not stop there. For,
what is “success”? Is it is about more possessions or it is a work to describe
the advanced way by which we relate to all the living things around us? And,
wait a minute; how to draw the borderline between “myself” and the “others”? Is
not it relevant to talk about the resources that we share, and the similarities
that we all have in common in order to survive when we talk about such an issue?
And, lastly, what is change? is it not a continuous revolution and it starts
with us and expand to the others effortlessly. Strawberry takes less time than
apples to be ready and grown up, and it does change in a different way than the
apple does, each fruit changes in its own way and takes its own shape, and that
is how is the change that is natural and preserved in time. Forced changes is
like coloring the green strawberry in red, but it fades away after reality
sprinkles it with a few drops of water!
When I first heard my closest friend speaking, I was
surprised not only because he is suggesting that I better stop minding anything
beyond my "capabilities" but, because I refuse the whole idea of
capability at all. He was indirectly propagandizes the very same story in the
same ordinary way we grew up limited by! I mean, what is the ring between us and
the world, and between each of us and the rest of us? Are we meant to keep
living the same god damned life surrounded by unawareness everywhere we happen
to be, any society we happen to explore or study? Are we supposed to stop
thinking about the main roots of our difficulties and serious problems
expressed by pollution, wars, hunger, inequity, and poverty, almost everywhere
on the surface of the planet? Are we supposed to act blinded by our own will
because some of us think that it is beyond our capabilities and thus
responsibilities? Well, I don't think so. And above it all, what is the outcome
of any individualistic contribution on any of these topics.
One may not see the whole picture, yet he \ she can see things
that are obviously threatening our existence, harvesting thousands of lives and
destroying our only home every single day.
When systematic scarcity produced poverty and
hunger, bad educational systems produced faceless generations convinced in
competition and loyalty to outdated systems, and giving so much attention to
man in power. It is now an easy for them to manipulate people and make soldiers
who have no idea about the real success in saving life, solving problems and
sharing resources! Who keep fighting till they die with their heads full of
bullshit principals and outdated religious, national, racial notions, which
sadly and most ironically were put by the same businessmen and bankers who are
enslaving them day and night!!
