Its Because You Disagree

Hello,
The FIFA World Cup Final is running in front of me but I'd rather stare at this screen. Why?
1. I'm not much of a football person
2. This has turned out to be one boring match.

All our lives we work and then procrastinate and blame everyone other than ourselves for the absence of a vacation. And when you are on vacation, what do you complain about? Exactly. Nothing.

Maybe conspiracy theories are all wrong. Maybe there'e no peace on Earth merely because that's not possible. Why you ask. I, being the generous one, shall oblige and enlighten you. Its because when things are perfect, everything is short-lived. I understand that the logic takes a while to settle.

Picture this.
Your neighbourhood, your school, your friends, your life were all just perfect. It actually takes an effort to imagine this in the first place. Now, what next? How would you actually choreograph a life where everything is perfect?
Now you go back a paragraph and read again and agree that its not possible.


But like all problems in the world, a solution exists. And its not a complex equation or a long Bill or Capitalism. Its one word. A word that I associate with one great man. Einstein.
And the word : Relativity.


Perfection is not possible, but relative perfection, I believe, is very much attainable.

But where there is relativity, there is perspective. And where there is perspective, there is everything you and I love about humanity.

When Morgan Freeman explains the beauty of free will in Bruce Almighty its more than profound to say the least.
That whole movie is a symbolic reverse of yesterday's notions. That the white man is greater. Whoever decided to make a black man play the role of God, God bless him.

Even if you never realized the symbology, your sub conscience accepted it. And that is the beauty of it.
And by giving his powers to Bruce, he establishes equality among the races, and in his own way ending the debate once and for all.


Now you may agree, disagree or laugh at what I've written above. And its because you can and will. And thats why you are human.

And its learning to weave acceptance and tolerance in the wee gaps between prejudice and irrationality that perspective produces that helps each one of us become a better human.

Take any random person, and you will disagree on 99 things but agree on one.

And that Ladies and Gentlemen, is the Beauty of it.




Hoping Someone Scores Soon,
V
