Winners and the history

When we look at the history, all the losers are depicted as the wrong one. Always the hero got a lot of hype and were considered as the role models by many. It is a human nature to put the winners in an exalted position and losers at the opposite. The power a winner get equals the reputation and the power the loser looses. One occupied the success, then those who represents ( family, group, or a nation) get exalted as well. We saw this with many. When the British conquered majority of the land, the privilege was extended to the next many generations. The great grandfathers made their grandson the lords. They could beat, tax, trade, or kill the slave in accordance to his will. The slaves are suppressed to follow only the commands. History privileged few generations. It took many life’s and great protests to break the shackles of slavery.

But this is just one case, whenever a history was made and declared the winner, then the losers are the “immigrants”. They are not permitted to do anything the winner or the their generation does. They are not allowed to wear their favourite dress, they are not allowed to sit in a public transport or even to eat the same food as the conqueror. What a winner has an advantage over a loser doesn’t matter. But what matters is whether you’re a winner or not, this decides everything.

George Orwell was totally right when he said "those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future"

How fear is useful

There are two ways you can look at it. one is dangerous to yourself and the second is to others. In both cases, the only difference is where the fear is directed.

It won't stay for long. Either you must increase the fear or find an alternative means.

Society can be a trap

There are lot of traps out there. Only after falling or getting out of that trap we realize that we were bondaged for a very long time. We were born into the society trap where everything is predefined. Everything is written and all we have to do is to obey them. We are not allowed to wander with our will and certainly not with any other rules. Predefined are the prime ones. When we look at those cultural scribings of activism, we could see that everything is limiting and designed to refrain is from our true potential. The hardest thing is not being unaware of this trap, it is being in the trap even after knowing you are in a trap. This makes us to think differently. Because we found something, probably, no one around found. It would be game changer for everyone. It could transform the society and culture, paving a more promising future for the generations to come. But what happen when we introduce this theory to those blind people is quite depressing. They mock and joke you, laugh a...
