The Extremism - The Guruism .

THE GURUISM OR THE EXTREMISM .

 

With the shooting incident in Vienna and it's flames burning Punjab ,which is more than 5000 kms away from the site where the shooting took place , it was proved again that , we are a very link between the religious aspect of India and the extremist aspect . We are proud to be religious , but are we also not proud to be extremists ? We actually find or wait for incidents to happen and we just go all out to throw normal life out of gear .  

The kind of drama played in Punjab and witnessed by whole of the country tells us that hang on , we are looking at the new govt to reform the economy , but do we only need to reform the economy or some other things as well . Now comes the change of gaurd when we talk about our religious sentiments . These kinds of incidents are not going to help in any manner , whether your guru or your mentor has been hurt physically or somebody has said something unfair to him . Coming back to the incident in Vienna , if the people were so much hurt by the incident then they should have embarked on a flight to Vienna and took the revenge there only , but why they chose to hold voilent protest here in India ,burn trains , buses , destroy public property , becoz this has now become the part of our daily life . Are we really extremists by nature i think yes . But i believe that it has more to do with somebody encouraing us to be more voilent and destructive when these kind of situations come , and so we are slowly but surely coming into extremist mode , the theory which we have rejected for centuries .

The change mentality - New v/s Old .

Whenever we talk about the generation gap , we usually talk about the thinking of the Old people v/s the New generation . But is it really the thinking only or something else also which drives the thinking . I think it is more to do with the acceptance of the changing world rather than your own thinking . It is the how you take the changing scene around you in your stride , and how you react to the change . 
So this means that if you are ready to accept that something has changed , only then you try to change yourself or you try to upgrade yourself with the times . But more often than not we donot accept the change itself and then the question of changing doesn't arise . We as humans are more concerned about the our way of thinking , whether it goes with the times or not . But the people who are successful think that the world will follow them and do the things as they want to do , but in a right manner .  
More often than not we feel that anything prevailing in the society cannot be changed , but there are instances where people have changed the way the society / world thinks . One example is the owner of the world famous restaurant chain KFC . Mr Sanders got to listen 1009 rejections after getting his first acceptance for his recipe of chicken , and the rest is the history .

So first , Do you want something to change ? , if yes then donot wait untill nothing happens , get up and do something , and be the part of the change .
