Eternal truth

One of the major complexities I am trying to solve is if whether the shades of life really are greyish or is it the result of the man’s nature to find the shortest route to the most challenging questions. Simply put, it has always been easy for the people to terminate the discussions on “IT DEPENDS”. So, if righteousness of everything is incumbent on the individual’s upbringing, it should have been very easy for each one of us to justify the most indefensible acts. And also, where will you then find any room for the least understood drivers of humanity viz. contemplation and thereafter, self reprimand that helps us in analyzing the acts objectively.

This philosophy of the eternal truth sometimes makes things very complicated. It has always been easy to finally settle for the grey shades but for a black and white world, you need to strip off your prejudices and stereotypes which inadvertently will be amalgamated in your objectively analyzed problem. It is here, that extreme prudence needs to be shown and the impossibility of error free solution is the aphrodisiac for those for whom shores of the seas are dangerous areas.

Let me put it in another perspective. In case you believe in God, you can safely assume that he cannot set different criteria for different people. The rational mind given to the human being is of no use if he takes refuge under his past circumstances as there will hardly be any difference between him and an inanimate object whose physical strength is decided by what has been done by the external circumstances to it. Even if you are an atheist, take the case of films. As an external individual, how do you analyze a character? You rarely give him the benefit of the circumstances (unless you find yourself in the similar situation) and thus the person is analyzed without any prejudices.
