Duality II

I was blue while they were black....

I wished time were on my side but I knew the blues were on their own while black had more than the rainbow...

Time however washed away the hues that were never to remain...

Only for Blue to remain...

So they heard...So they wanted to believe...
The noise cut through the silence of doubt...
And in due time they beheld...Once it was gone...

Time can create and destroy...

It's All About The Money...

2008: Global economic meltdown occurs in spite of the best interests of the intellectual global economists pushing their weight behind globalization and the buzzwords since the 90s and earlier. And, capitalism creating a global political and financial elite class that only wedged the wealth gap further. It's not surprising then that strong man leaders in the East choose to project themselves as journeymen who traversed their way to the top from humble beginnings. Everyone loves a rags-to-riches story anyways. Populism, strong man politics, anti-intellectualism, and identity politics has to emerge from some place and they probably did in 2008. And then there are the strong men in the west who promise the safeguarding of neo-colonist interests of their homeland, while the strong men in the east proclaim a soft rejection of globalization and promise a push back against western interests in the name of evangelizing indigenous soft power in its various forms. Both; bei...

The Dark Side

The Dark is monotonous and exhilarating, at the same time... Monotony and darkness lend color to experiences outside them... You come out (If not socially) a different human...A different individual... A color, a sound, a smell, a touch; to every momentous experience you've had in life; and they add to your journey as a speck on the PALE BLUE DOT. A sound or else; that takes you back to where you wish you'd be for eternity, but reality pulls you back to experiences that take you to the roads that always seemingly fork in life... Life is to be taken by the second; not by minute, not by hour, not by day, not by month; NOT by the Year. But by what you are at THAT second...If you think family in a second, you live for them; if you think friends in a second, you live for them... We live by the clock; the clock doesn't stop...And the "Perceived" lack of time is why we are judged by our "socially bad" bad decisions. You are YOU! You are what defin...

Love Me! I'll Kill You Otherwise...

Well you need to strike a balance between the promises you made and playing good-cop-bad-cop. The legitimacy of good eventually is not founded in genuine concern, but their ultimate purpose is to legitimize evil through the good. Happened with Hitler, happened with Mussolini, happens with every known supremacist ideology. (Although unlike blatant bigotry back in the times, they call for inclusiveness and respect for their kin in the present, to endear themselves to a globali zed world.) Our man shouts peace and inclusion among others while his minions are let loose to play the bad cop with intimidation, communalism, and lynching. A commonality in populist strong-men governed countries. This is exactly what Manmohan meant when he mentioned the "Dangerous Binary" in one of his parliament speeches; the way of choosing the good that is founded on evil. And for a species who are driven mostly by the need to survive, withdraw in fear is what the common man can do; since ...
