This is the question which i have for all. In the old story of kalidas (i think it was him only) he was considered to be very stupid given he cuts the branch of tree from the side where he is being supported.. sure to fall when the branch will be cut.
That level of stupidness is what i am talking about...
My opinion is most of us human beings fall in the category and are very ignorant of the fact. We have crazy demands/ wants from life but not even a single step is taken. Just keep freting and fuming and wanting more but will never move our lazy bums.
People want great careers but are not willing to work hard, people want love but not wanting to give their selfishness or never expressing them under a garb called fear, want to top in studies but cannot study, want to be intellignent but will not exercise their brains, want to be slim but not wanting to even do a little exercise or give up those junk food.. look around and there are so many such instances.. all waiting for a magic wand. It is even worse in India with our superstitions the magic wand is replaced by promises to make God happy through rituals and get all they want... Bribe God with prasad and prayers !!
what can be more stupid !!
Surely nothing can be more stupid , and in fact I think stupid is not a fully justified word , they r something more than stupid.. and in dat story's case , I think you can call it Ignorance than stupidity ! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what would you call a person who dreams about something but he doesn't want to fulfill his dream in fear that he would lose the reason to live as this dream was all d reason he was living... :)
