"Nerd in the herd" or "genius like Einstein" or "The Comedian like Charlie Chaplin",or the so called common man or "its you and me"........
What am i talking???? Any guesses???
I am refering to none other than the same old guy you keep seeing everyday when you get up and look into the mirror!!!.
Its you and me....and everyone...
The human being is a very socially Ubiquitous Remotely Self Agressive Hunger driven animal which needs social contact all the time...
As people and scientists say that organisms evolved from a single celled organisms, have you noticed the social behaviour of these cells?
They always tend to stay together...
If you have seen a group of animals, they move together ..
Fishes swim together...birds fly together....(Usually led by a leader)
Its no different in the case of human beings too...
This basic phenomenon of flocking together is sometimes called as collectivism...
Its in their genes and have remained as is even though the organism has evolved over time....
Same is the case in humans too..
People flock together., eat together, sing together ,stay together...etc.
This is good when decisions have to be made for a group and its usually taken by the leader or the head or the leader...This situation was suitable in the olden days....as it suited the social setup...
But in today's "DOG EAT DOG" world humans are born as individuals, live as individuals and speak to strangers and are always surrounded by them...This is liberalism in one way...as individuals are empowered to take descions on their own and can carve their own way in their life....
Hey why am i talking about all this crap?
What i would like to drive home would be to emphasize on the fact that we as individuals of tomorrow should move away from the "mob mentallity" of yesterday and be more liberal and should consider ourselves as empowered individuals living in a society which helps us to enrich and empower our lives when we start depending on ourselves.....
If you would have noticed "Nehru's secularism" failed because of this reason...
Hindutva which talks about Collectivism is also failing because of this reason....
Hindutva in one does not help an individual to be empowered but follows collectivism which does not help the growth of the econony....
Our Constitution was designed to make india a liberal country and not a country influenced by such antagonastic groups...which destroy the very fact of liberal Nation,liberal state and liberal individual.
Just wanted to tell everyone what i had realized after a long time.....
