Love. Peace. Empathy.

K.P.S. Gill touched a womans posterior and landed in Trouble. Newspapers. Court. Jail(Almost).
My friend fell in love with a woman. Then fell Out. Then fell in. Then fell out. And then Fell in. Again.
God, Nature, I dont know which, must have made a mistake. And where, I dont know. Maybe I dont have the guts to know. But I am sure of me thing. That We are not meant to be together... men and women. We are totally different species altogether. Theres not enough space in this World for us both. But fate has entwined us so, that we keep crossing each other paths and we keep encroaching on each others space.We both would have been happier. We both would have been ourselves. The way we wanted to be. The way we were meant to be. Some great philosopoher had the brains (and the guts) to drop the slight innuendo, enough for the understanding intellectuals. "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" said he. Maybe we are. Maybe we should never have left.
Women perenially complain that men dont understand them. Men dont. For the fear that Women might overhear them. They are even afraid to think. Maybe we should just go back to where we belong. Both of us. And just be ourselves.And till then, we meekly obey the laws of nature. Mould ourselves in each others casts till the other one is happy. Then we decide to be happy because we did the (almost impossible) task of changing ourselves against our (martian) wishes and in keeping with our(earthly) desires.
And we will live " Happily Ever After". Till we figure out how we came here, and find means of reversing the process.So that we can go through it all over again.
Because, when all is said and done, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
Because, when all is said and done, Earth is where we belong.

COMPASSION

Compassion is the poison of our society. Poverty Feeds on compassion. We say "aww, i feel so sorry for this guy", and shell out some coins to give to the "poor" guy. But stop. And think. Are we doing it for him? No. Its just a selfish move... we are all buying our way to heaven. We, sick, selfish people are trying to buy our way to heaven... screwing up an already screwed up life. Unfeelingy feeling, passionately dispassionate, dying everyday so that that we may live in peace once we die. Compassion is the poison of our society... the most potent one. It kills both the person showing it, and the one who receives it. Painfully. Slowly. Painfully Slowly.
I am not against the showing of compassion. But to the rightful recipients. A child, maybe. Somehow, the concept of compassion got warped, misinterpreted. U think a blind man should receive alms as tokens of our compassion? I saw one who used to sell peanuts in trains. Just one. Why cant the others? As long as we go on showing "compassion" towards those who dont, they wont. True compassion is when, no matter how much you feel the urge to reach into your pocket and give the "poor guy" some alms, you hold back. So that he tries. To earn what he used to get as alms. Theres nothing called a free lunch. If we want to change the way our society is, to make this world a better place, we have to change ourselves. And then, little by little, this bleak present painting will fade into a vivid, colorful landscape.
