What is it with us? By us I mean people...all of us...why is it that we secretly want to do everything that is called wrong? Why do we categorize everything as right or wrong? And how did we get about it? Did we just decide that everything that is fun becomes wrong automatically? And if that's how it is, why is it so much fun? Yeah you know what I mean. Think of the time when you were overloaded with work and you instead took a detour and browsed the net? The time when you knew something you'd say would snowball into something really really bad...and you said it anyway. The time when you knew you weren't supposed to eat that pastry because you knew it would break your 10-day no sweets vow. Why are we like this? I had a cousin who when she was 3 years old, tore a Rs. 500 note coz everyone told her not to.
What is it with us? Why is it, that the instant that something is banned, or stopped or made illegal, we want it...we want it like we never wanted anything ever before? What is this craving for...I don't even know what to call it? Craving for wrong-doing? Craving for just...no idea what.
What do we do to fix this? In fact, does it even need fixing? There are so many questions. Or is it just one of those questions? The ones that have no answers? Or that they are not even questions?
The whole story about Eve about wanting the fruit, because it was forbidden. Why are we always tempted to do wrong? What drives us to it? Are we inherently bad people doing good things? Or are we inherently bad people being forced to be good? What is it that we fear? Do we fear anything for that matter? Everything around the world is culminating. Everything is shrinking into one. Borders are vanishing, people are getting closer everyday. The idea behind this is that the boundaries of right and wrong are growing smaller and smaller every day. We are beginning to realize that what may be saint to one person, may be another's demon but that they both co-exist, often in the same person.
In such a world, what do we categorize as right, and wrong? Or is it just our universal 'thirst' of being restless. Of trying something new? Of being something new? Of doing something different? And if that is the case, why don't we just let go? When does it truly become wrong? Why is it that the alleged wrong-doers come together by a bond so strong that no right-doer (if that's a word), can have?
Wish there was a way to know...
