How many of us think that we actually ‘waste’ hours by watching movies? If wisely done it is all about living weeks and months, even years. That is only if we intent to take it as experiences we could gain in that time period. It could be seen also as letting our alter ego free on their way doing a few things which we would love doing in our normal lives.
Evolution
Once I thought of writing something which I expected people to read. But when I started with a topic I could manage, a thought flashed. For whom is it being done? For my friends (people of my age group), the kids, my seniors in all respect or is it the wise elders… it took a moment for me to figure out the answer- “the generation gap”.
If it is generation gap, what is it which makes me think that I’m superior to the kids around, even to people who are a few months younger to me? What is it which makes me and my fellow mates to give respect to our seniors and elders as well? Isn’t the same thing causing the things such as making someone competent enough to compete with his/her senior? I have got “Yes” for that last question.
The law of nature
Consciously, we never evolved. We never tried to understand our juniors. We expected then to know every thing we know and denied them the luxury of clearing doubts and add value to precious learning process which could have helped them in not making those mistakes or do make that in a better way. May be we just got fed up with this helping part by getting seriously busy in the race for better food, shelter and clothing.
We have lived. And we are living. The laws which ruled us evolved, with the constant watching and following up with the changing patterns of the society and the new societal requirements. We were least effected because of two reasons. One, we were too busy to notice. Two, we are so used to such changes that it is now a matter of a few hours to adapt into this world with minor changes.
The Pill
Experiences came in as songs. Then there was a rapid evolution of the same through stories, dramas, novelettes and novels. It became one of the earliest means of socialization then a medium to reach the masses, and then education in general. With this change, to meet the needs of expansion and effect new methods were invented and implemented leading to the technological advancements.
And this beautiful world was created.
Thanks to Education and Technology.
The problems to solve for the next generation would be related to every type of questions or thoughts the mind can formulate which could not be tested by science till date. A group of us would be busy that time making the education and technology reachable for millions.
The effect
We dream. One thing that happened in last few decades with our dreams is that it simply cannot be compared to the dreams of yesterday because it is more than just a scaled up version. The openness of the new generation made us powerful enough to think beyond what we have and what change possibly it could bring about.
How could I not mention the God within? Yes the pill is working. We go to temple, we go to church, and we go to mosque and on and on. I would like to think it only as the effect of our ethnicity. The very same ethnicity is the major resistance to the effects of ‘the disguised pill’. We pray. We serve fellow humans. Gods are getting more of a humane face. We made more brothers and friends. The education ingredient in the pill did that magic. The end result was space for individual who could ask for it.
Role as we are getting older!
“I don’t care about anything that comes in my way to make a career/good life.” There we can only a bit more selfish and that would be the dead end. This the effect of the pill, ‘The Disguised Pill of Experience’ which makes it clear that only taking the pill is not going to help us in any way. There should be space or it should be created so that there is [efficient] use of potential it pumps in.
By the time we notice these “sweet nothings” we would lose power to control to our younger generations. Our wisdom will become bullshit to the new generations who will rule. Come. Let’s not label everything that come through elders as scrap.
PS: My t-shirt size went up from M to L (evolution). I want to bring it back to M by the time I get into my 30s (????).
