Someone said give me the truth above everything else. But what is truth? What is the lie? How can I believe what you call truth is truth and what you call a lie is a lie. How can I believe the conventions, the constructs you have constructed are really the right ones? On raising this point, I came along one more conundrum. How can I know what is right and what is wrong? Again what is right & what is wrong are the conventions made by you. So what arguments you want to bring to convince me what you call right is right, and what you call wrong is wrong, and how can you convince me to believe what you believe is the truth is truth, and what you think is a lie is a lie. Quoting Christopher Poindexter “ Everything is not always as it seems, my darlings. We live beneath the lamps of our judging” so how can I believe yours is a sound judgment just because it is a judgment accepted by the majority. What if my definition of truth, lie, right and wrong are different from yours. What if I refuse to accept your conventions. Would you ostracize me from the society or stone me to death as you have been doing for many centuries? What is the underlying philosophy of your existence, to destroy the existence of the people who do not adhere to your norms, your conventions? If you consider this as the philosophy of your existence, how can you argue that your existence is human, It is as barbaric and as savage as the most savage and barbaric animal of the world but how can I give this title to any animal as long as you exist?What are the things that you try to escape from? Reality, illusion, dreams, imagination. Have you ever thought what is an escapist world like? In the escapist world, you are the sole owner of everything, you are in control of everything, controlling everything in a surreal utopian world. Have you ever thought is this the type of world you crave for? Do you crave for absolute authority and absolute happiness? I heard somewhere a lifetime of happiness would be a hell on Earth. And you can appreciate and define happiness because you know what is sorrow. You know what both joy and sorrow complete each other and absence of anyone from your life would make your life insipid.You see my friend, the escapist world is not as alluring as it seems to be and as you imagine it to be. It has its own black cloud although with a shade of silver lining. But who knows if that silver lining is just another escapist tendency invented by your mind, who knows that silver lining we are talking of maybe encompassing another black cloud with a silver lining and that silver lining is again a black cloud with a silver lining and who knows that cycle continues like that. Will you ever be able to know where does that infinite loop ends or if that infinite loop gives birth to another infinite loop & then another and another? Who knows everything is just a combination of infinite infinite loops and you are part of some part of this conundrum. So you see both at the macro and micro level everything is filled up with infinite infinite loops. So how would you identify your complete identity if you are not someone who is watching these loops from another dimension?You don’t even know the purpose of your existence in this Universe. You fight for region and religion and caste and class. You fight for every unimportant thing in this world. You say you fight for your identity, for freedom, for the value of human life. But have you ever stopped whether you adhere to these qualities, values, and identities? Can you say for sure you encompass any one absolute identity or value or quality? Is anything absolute in nature? Values and identities are something which is constructed by us and we keep fighting for all the superficial things which we value so heavily. Can I ask you WHO has given you the right to destroy other individual’s right? Perhaps you don’t know. Perhaps you would never know and neither would I.
