Its been after so many tried-in-vain efforts that I am finally writing this. For several times, I wrote something deleted something(wow, thats two past in one sentence, Is it correct?).
Then I switched to Guy Richie movies and then by absurd turn of irregularities got into 90s melodramatic bollywood music. Its really surprising how things get to you, only you get into the free flow. Just say yes to them, and eventually it'll end up good.
What I learned from all this was a simple aspect of life that I should call as "measuring-me".
To begin with, let me just be clear that its completely not-logical and hypothetical philosophy, anyone not interested, kindly dont proceed further. Its just my take on how to interpret things.
What I feel is that we, as social beings develop lots of prejudices. [ sidenote - In my opinion. "pride & prejudices" is one of the best phrases ] That is to say, we hear a lot and see a lot from everyone.
And then again, being in materialistic society, we do deal with things that are very bland in their own nature. Everything is eventually a combination of mass and energy in the physics.
Things are just things. They dont have any values and there is no standard ISO 9000 to this. What I intend to say is that we give value to things, we associate our tastes, likes, dislikes to them. And by that association comes the division, into the classes, into the society and into the psychology(of human race).
Thus we label things. Make them more than just things and measure our selves to things.So, If I happen to like Linkin Park, what I am doing is setting my standards of liking to Linkin Park itself. In a way I am measuring myself(or my likes) to a particular 'thing'. Same but in different tones goes to our other emotions as well. Here we make them more than just things.
And with this comes complexity.
Of limiting ourselves into the binds, of following a trend. When many likes one thing, many more will like it too. This goes to the inability of expressing our own choices and thus failing to develop an opinion of our own. That is one reason that we lack passion, because we never had a taste of our own, it was always borrowed. So, when I saw a crappy movie which was stupid by every(ones') standard, but still enjoyed it, I could not come to like it. But, I knew before the interval that GODFATHER is one of my favorites(eventhough it might end with Mike opening the corleonne saloon).
So, my opinion. Everything is born out of effort and energy. Just try to appreciate it. More towards the things that you dislike now. This might broaden our vision to see world. And if we fail to do so, accept that as a combination of one's lack of perception and interest. I am not saying that we should praise everything, I am just saying that before coming to the prejudices, have your pride measure it up against you and then have an opinion(that too out of respect). Because your ego is the only thing thats not yours.
and yes 90s bollywood rocked evrything from DDLJ to jaan tere naam to dhoom dhadaka. but its true that somethings must be disliked (like shah rukh khan)[balance prevails]
