I'd like to quote a figure form Voltaire's legendary work Candide, shes a wretched bunch of misery with half a buttock, she says that she contemplated killing herself a number of times but she didn't, its very human to be saddled with shit and still love life, love existence with the defiance of all rationality and logic.

Lots of issues you've come up with, the people we elect enforce their simplistic and ruralist policies on us, and well, I'm a pessimist so its actually true for me that the world is getting screwed up everyday.

As we've discussed, theres no real GDP growth happening (if anyone wants the details, please ask ), Iran will make the nuke bomb anyway, Petrol prices will keep rising, Inflation will never leave us, there will be more rapes, murders, communal riots once in a while, madrasi's will hate sardars and everyone else too, You and I will hate marashtrians, madrasis, gujus, bihari's..everyone except goans, discrimination will not only become institutionalised maybe even secularised and normalised, we grew up thinking its hindu's vs muslims, maybe our kids will grow up thinking its me vs u (they will play football though) , bramhinical superstitions can get worse, after discrimination on the basis of religion, color, caste, language maybe we'll turn to discriminate on the basis of height/weight/ eye color , we'll spend even more money on making nukes than on education and poverty , education might become a still bigger load of crap, in short, things will probably keep getting worse.

We cant change governments, kill people we think are bad, or eliminate evil in society at one go, but the earlier we can.
Yes, what we were taught in school, everything happens for the best, and that the world is a rational place its another big sham.Things get worse or better, either way you let them and the world is no more rational than Ronaldinho's freekick that swings both ways.

So, what do we do, become arm chair pandits, write BS ( bullshit) , and become slaves to the system.Do you accept the second hand treatment given to you, or do you treat people second had as well, in revenge, do you try to rape women late nights, do you cut trees to put up hoardings, no to all that, and no to a lot more.The world might be falling apart, are you, no your not, yes you lie awake thinking of whats gonna happen and it all boils down and you come up with that and maybe watch fight club again.We think of the change that we can help happen, changing the world is a slower process than evolution but against all odds evolution did take place, so i don't wanna bet against this one.

I think we first "talked" after watching fight club, the fight goes on, the club never shuts down.Its not just you, binai, and me who decide not to be slaves to a system.Thats the thing, the fact that we keep thinking against the system and maybe on our way will drag more people into thinking the same way is what we can try to do, and maybe more along the way, surely more.We cant change governments, kill people we think are bad, or eliminate evil in society at one go, but the earlier we can.
