"Well, I watch everything..."
"I am neutral to politics. I don't get into such stuff"
"I read all kinds of books..."
"BJP or Congress both are the same because......"
"It doesn't really matter which one"
"He must have done something good otherwise why would so many people follow him"
"All these artsy types are so boring..."
"I work and on weekends I sleep mostly, or hang our with my friends..."
"Interests, I don't really have time.."
Probably Lennon was talking about us when he said
"Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to....
He's blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see...."
Today taking a stance is out of fashion. It doesn't matter, It is the same, are the polished versions of I don't know. And we end up having a vast mass of people who are clones of each other and are shallow, for whom it doesn't matter what happens in the world they live in.
Be a capitalist, Be a socialist, Be a feminist, Be a humanist, Be an revolutionist, Be a fatalist.... Be anything but be something.
Today we wear Che Guevara shirt because it is cool, Tibetan arm bands because they make a good style statement, attend a march in support of women because it is the in thing, support feminist because it a lot of people are talking about it on facebook......for once we have turned all these what they were not supposed to be.....posterity sake.
For once I think it is important to step out of what would look cool and seems in, and understand whether we really understand what we want to be...
Let's for once believe in something
Let's for once have an opinion!
