Getting up early
and talking about rains is no surprise in the monsoon. No matter you talk good
or bad about it, you are talking anyway. The difference is, whether we talk
with our knowledge in tact or haywire.
Everyday most of
us struggle with these two conflicting questions in our lives. What do we like
and what do we know? For some of us, the answer is quite simple and ready. We know
what we like and we like what we know, but for most of us, it is a tough task
to introspect the hell out of ourselves. For those who like to talk, should
know what they are talking; for those who like to write, should know what they
are writing. And so it goes on. If you ask a voyeur to write something about
sex, they can become PhDs in the topic. But if you ask them about ways to curb
rapes and sexual violence, they’ll stand dumb. Ask an atheist something about
God and spirituality, his throat begins to choke, but a contest on blasphemous elocution
is worth winning. It is important that, if you want to talk about something you
like, you should know about certain things you have to.
Reading a few
novels, if I think that I can write a book just like that, would be an act of insolence.
I like being like them, but it is important for me to know what crisis they had
to overcome to reach to that level. The authors in the yore didn’t have the
luxury of smartphones to flaunt their flair (because fountain pens made their own mark), they didn’t have online
thesaurus to sophisticate their literature (because
they already had the original), and they didn’t have the social networking
sites to share their works, (because tête-à-tête
happened LIVE). After watching a few Christopher Nolan movies, I feel all
motivated to break the boundaries of my imagination and stuff myself with
motivational dialogues. What do I know about motivation myself? When the rains
or the cold wind don’t matter when you wake up, you are motivated enough to be
on time at work. A lazy weekend is then a bonus offer. The crazy thing about
liking someone and knowing whether they’ll be with you forever is a pondering
thought.
The divinity of
differentiation here is simple. When we like something or someone, we try to
know everything that will complement the love for it. Whether the result is in
our favour or not, the bestowal of knowledge is colossal. You’ll always do things
you like and the best part is you are in full knowledge of your actions. Imagine
if we would make world a better place to be, if we spoke our minds and minded
our speech; if we like what we do and know what we like; if we see the truth
and be true to our vision. It’s all easier said than done, but it has to start
some place, some time, somehow and with someone. Why not with US? Right here,
right now?
