ME, WE and THEM

As ME walks through the path of life, there are always two voices swirling around ME. The worst part is: both are contradictory. Basically it is WE (modern extremes) against THEM (traditional extremes) convincing ME as to what is right and what not. On a flat terrain, the mortal combat is between generations dying to prove its superiority. And now the fight begins:


WE say live in the moment and THEY say think of the future.

WE say bikes are cooler and THEY say scooters are safer.

WE say rush is good and THEY say hush is better.

WE say “I have seen the present” and THEY say “past (experience) matters”.

WE say money is master and THEY say it ruins you faster.

WE say think of yourself and THEY say think of ourselves.

WE say be practical and THEY say be philosophical.

WE say principles change according to positions and THEY say principles gives rise to positions.

WE say “I can make a change” and THEY say one person never matters.

WE say technology makes life easier and THEY say it makes life messier.

WE say comfort brings happiness and THEY say it brings in you laziness.

WE say the culture we follow is the best and THEY say nowadays culture is lost.

WE say we have no time and THEY say you have to find time.

In all these confusion ME is perplexed and keeps wondering as to why he cannot have the best of both the worlds but there lies a divide in front of him. One which would make him a dude, as he is scared of becoming a dud. Second which would gain him respect in every aspect. ME close his eyes in despair still having the unanswered questions in his empty hands and then walks by on and on and on…….

Yet ME has to decide what to choose? WE, THEM or a perfect blend of both.
