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 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.

ReplyDeleteNicely written ..really... and must say ... contrast is too good."generations dying to prove its superiority" is a well quoted sentence and best of all.But i didnt expect so many "thoughts" from my laddu.
ReplyDeleteGive your readers a track which they can think of following....dont confuse already confused people like me dude !! :)
Hey Aish!! That was was lovely. Really well-written. :)
ReplyDeleteEach one of us does get confused between what THEY think and what WE think. But we cannot deny that after a few years even WE are going to be THEY. Who knows, we might say the same things to the next generation of WE based on our experiences.
As of today, we better follow a perfect blend of the "WE" and "THEY" principles. Hard to do, but safer. What say?
Keep writing, you write well!
