The good The BAD the Quilt

The year Gone. The year came.
Party s over kiddo.
Chapter 2. The Good, The Bad, The Quilt
As amusing as title sounds, heres something to complement it(prateek's orkut tagline - sometimes back) >> "Daru piyo te insaan bano..rotti toh kutte bhi kha lete hain.." !! ;)
For me the bad is as good as the good.And no, I m yet to go complete mad. So, heres insanity ....
What makes bad really "bad"? or How good is "good"?
This is for the purists, those who define so well in blacks n whites_ Does we lack the contemplation ?
I think we do..
Caz when we label something as "bad"..we make it bad forever, now it not just a thing.. its rather a bad_thing. Adjective becomes the noun. And thats how bad is bad .. about good -- well it all @#$%
Why is that people carry an anti-attitude for Booze, cigarettes or SEX(o:).. etc. etc.
Why are these the scapegoats for our idoticity ? If anyones dumb enough to smoke tens in a day.. hows puff the killer. Its we, who are weak enough to lose to our desires.
Heres the analogy - so many of us flunk caz we dont study(huff finally the truth comes out...relief), I wonder why studies are still so dear to our parents. Afterall, in both cases, its our weakness .. for one its attraction for other the contempt.
Talk about SEX and world go mad (ofcourse, its such a wonderful thing) .. {you bugger, I meant that in pejorative effects} .. (oh sorry), I mean its a misdemeanor to say the af you see kay but the hullabaloo over religion is so moral..
And abuses (I ll advocate them some,other time).
The point I am trying to make is to check the attitude.To know how a bad is exactly same as the good, to be pertinent to noun than to adjective.
For once, try giving reason to the bad. Why villain is not the hero and if so, why do we even need a villain ? What is the reason of existence of the BAD, the ANTI ??
If something "is", its for a reason..and we cant prioritize reason of things that cause us.
So I try to comprehend, the white of black.
Some good takes of bad - Gulaal(movie).. all bad the worst one wins, Simoquin Prophecies(book, Samit Basu).. has a commendable climax, the explanations of evil .
As for the QUILT..(to the one who knows what it means and I hope reads this)
There is no good outside, no bad inside.No wrongs, no right, atleast not bigger than your freewill.
The limit is you, try breaking it.
With Good/Bad Intentions.

PS - "Insaan bano, atleast koshish toh karo.."

I Am getting to the point(s) directly !!

1. Dun think in absolute terms buddy !!
A great scientist once said that everything is relative in the creation.
So there is no Good or Bad but Better and Worse !!

(Illustrating with an example)

Killing an innocent is a BAD thing but killing a terrorist is a GOOD thing to do and is rewarded with medals !!
So is killing GOOD or BAD !!
The aforementioned scientist would have said that - killing a terrorist is better than killing an innocent !!

2. To quote you ~ If something "is", its for a reason.. ~

If you believe that then it means that every creation is created for a reason and serves a purpose.
It hints towards a creator creating things for purposes only he knows of and hence it points toward the existence of an intelligent super Being ( Who most of Us on earth call God !! )
To understand the context of things from this perspective One needs to be either spiritual or religious.
I being in neither of those moods right now would simply like to remind you that not everything has to have a reason !! Entropy ( The degree of disorder or chaos ) is the driving force of Our Isolated ( Some may say Closed ) system - The Universe !!
Now dun get Me started on what is beyond that !!

wonderfully said L.dere s nothing good or bad..it just the perception of ones mind towards distinguishing thngs, people, situations. I thnk dese two words are kind of laws(human rights), if u accept it, den it exists and if you dont, den it doesnt exists..
But u also cnt totally deny ur values and morals whch has been taught to u, wen u wer vry small.. Wen u taught opposites of GOOD = BAD
Hehehe

@ Loopus ..
"absolute terms" not me brother..first of all, the post is all about how I reject the absoluteness of good and bad
second you are yourself pointing to what I mentioned in my post - this -
if killing terrorist is worst than killing innocent then terrorist is bad or say worst than innocent..that way we condemn terrorist as BAD GUY .. you see .. adjective = noun ...
you have not seen even one terrorist n you call them BAD. See Ziegiest .. n get a new definition of terrorist.. moreover who is innocent anyways ?? people are grey !! not BLACK or WHITE (not ethnicity)

NEXT - "It hints towards a creator"
WHY ?? why cant u think in independent terms ?? why does everything has to have a creator ? I am not against GOD(I cant be)..I am against the understanding we associate with him...why can GOD be not a part of our universe..born in BIG BANG with time, to balance, for me balance is GOD..!!

I am all about another point of view..never about any conclusions..
