Blind people do have eyes sometimes...

     

     I don't know how to start with it. It's actually something that I feel is not an imagination, but seems really silly when jotted down in the form of text. In the age of technology we have seen ourselves standing on the very narrow border between what we called as modern and age old mindsets. Most of us lie in the midst of the past and future generations and our mind works in that very manner. We have parents who had been living all their life following rules and regulations set up for them by their parents or guardians. And then we have a future generation that believes in freedom from all sorts of boundaries set up to cage their passion and dreams. 

     All we do is continuously struggle to find an easy way out to satisfy both. I see this everyday. I see it all live in front of my eyes. It's my cousin I would talk about. It's his girlfriend who is completely unknown to me and who actually feels that I have no clue of their relationship. But you know it is actually something I didn't expect I would find out about. They might have their privacy and some kind of a modern aged thinking says they have a right to have it. It is their right that no one intervenes between them. But then I see the toxic part too. The internet is flooded with depressed people committing suicides and it's actually no one in their family who has any idea of their loved ones being in depression. So what is it all for. I have heard him arguing on phone secretly when he feels we are not around. I have also seen him behaving completely different from what he had been all these years. In fact, anyone who knows him right from the childhood can easily make out from his behavior that this is not him. Everything that he does seems like it's because someone else wants him to or makes him do so. I can understand the intimacy between two people is something very important for a healthy relationship but what if either one or both are actually immature or in other words blind towards the consequences of their actions? What if they don't even realize that the other one in the relationship is being neglected or that they are actually poisoning their minds. Is it necessary to keep your families away from you only because your partner thinks they aren't thinking good of you? How irresponsible can a person be? 

     I saw him shouting and howling at people, the way he never behaved at all. Sometimes he doesn't even pick up our calls. Is there suddenly only "One and only" well wisher left for him, whom he hardly met a few years ago? Is this modern behavior acceptable? Well this would bring up a number of opposers I know. Their opinions would be contradictory and completely against what I said above. But I would like them to know, this actually happens. We want a freedom from our boundaries so that we may be able to take our own decisions, but have we ever mentioned what these decisions are about? Do we crave for such a broad minded society that lets us destroy our lives, our peace of mind? Is it that what we call being modern when we are opposed for nothing no matter whatever sh*t we do with the lives given to us, even if it leads to our room one day? We want no one to rule over us, no one to question us, for any decisions that we take whether it is wrong or right. If that is the case, if we are so very eager to have that heaven of freedom, are we ready to guarantee that there wouldn't be any point in our lives that we would have a hazy vision, that we would have no idea of actually what we do can be harmful? I don't think anyone in this world can have that power of understanding for an entire lifetime. It's something that each one of us face at some or the other moment very often. And still if we want our family, our closed ones to stay away. I guess we are actually praying to be orphans. 

     Putting these things into words wasn't easy at all for me. It is just a small hint I gave to every young mind who desires to be left free forever. The freedom that has its meaning unknown, is actually meaningless. Hopefully I wrote something that you can relate with and if not, make sure you do, because this isn't anything that is uncommon. Just look around and if possible look within.
