I have been thinking for quite some time now. Maybe thinking hard and long... And I have come to the conclusion that there are certain questions that simply doesn't have a proper answer, and then there are others with their answers hidden somewhere and we are too lazy to find it out.
Well, I am more of the latter type...
That's not a surprise at all!
A hearty welcome to all the readers of this blog. You all might have come across various posts in the internet that stresses the fact time and again that a girl's first hero is her father. Right from her birth, to adulthood, her dad is her guardian angel on her shoulders. Now, let us just flip through the pages, and reach another, parallel scenario. Comics have always been my favorite, right from childhood. The sheer pleasure of having to turn pages of a brightly coloured and vivaciously illustrated book with a rather simple story line would catch the attention of any kid.
In these comics, where heroes (male and female) are always shown wearing a mask and a matching costume to hide their true identity, it has only lead me to think. Are only those dressed up in such costumes the true heroes the world needs? Is it really necessary to hide one's identity? and yes, does this world really need a hero or is it beyond "saving"?
If you ask me, I suppose we should hide our true identity. Owing to how the government in a certain state of a particular country behaved when they found out that their foul play was being telecast to the public, I believe we should start wearing masks!
Oh! And by the way, " I'm Batman!"
Agreed rudha, but still, if everyone starts wearing masks, then even the wrong-doers would follow suit and well, soon, we won't know if we are punishing the good guys or the bad. Oh! And you are not the one whom gotham needs... it's me....
As for the last question- whether this world is beyond saving, to be honest, I really don't know. You all must have heard of the term, "better late than never". Does this really hold true now or has it lost its value?
Well, you did take your own sweet time to write this post in your blog!
Don't jump topics.! Like I said, I had work to do... my city needed me.
Yeah right! You can't even find a pair of socks in the mornings before leaving for college.
That..! Now that is nothing to be concerned of.. not till tomorrow morning at the least.
Turning back the pages and going back to the "daddy-daughter" scenario, the "dad" doesn't wear a cape. He doesn't wear a mask or spandex suits. He doesn't prowl around in the night striking fear into the hearts of the villains. He doesn't swing from building to building and call himself "your friendly neighborhood..." He definitely doesn't move faster than a bullet. He doesn't go green with anger and starts smashing things in the name of justice. Nor is he a part of a league that strives to bring justice and maintain order. He is, what I would call "flesh and blood" just like us. So what makes him more special in this world?
The answer is, he makes a difference. He makes a difference when he cautions his daughter to make good friends in school. He makes a difference when he tells his son to carefully cross the road or drive his cycle. He makes a difference when he tells his children, be it a boy or a girl, to be alert when on an outing with their friends.
Why not we make a difference? We can start doing so by adopting the proper practice of throwing the waste in the bins. Let things be in their designated places... even if it's the waste.
Maintain nature's order you mean?
Yup! You know, Rudha, for once in your(our) entire life, I completely agree with you. For once, you have spoken something sensible. Is this how you are going to make a difference?
Making a difference? So is this a post that has got to do something with that?
Ehh! I believe that's what I was ranting about for the past 5 minutes! Nope, I guess I spoke too soon. No difference.
Well anyway, we can also make a difference by spreading a word about the current society and how broken it is. But again hey, I am not asking for a Utopian society. It doesn't exist. Nor will it ever. Maybe helping a destitute build a simple house, enough to provide him shelter from the scorching sun or the torrents of rain. Let's not be a mute witness to ragging in educational institutions. well, I suppose that's about it for now.
Hi!
You are still here?
Well, I was being a "mute-witness" to your ranting.
Well, that wasn't really ranting, but you know, I wanted to make a difference and post something that I've never done before. To be honest, I really don't know the impact it is going to make to my rea..."
Yeah whatever. Ani, how about you make a difference and be more lively?
You are who you are, and I am who I am.
what? Philosophical answer... going on a pilgrimage? well, anyway, leave that aside. Tell me, marvel comics or DC comics?
DC for sure..! Batman forever.
what about superman?
He is actually a being from another planet, and he has super powers. Batman on the other hand, is nothing but another human being, with the only difference that he has trained his body and mind and is physically fit, knows around 127 forms of martial arts, and an extremely intelligent hero. He has no superpowers, but still, is a class apart. Superman however, thinks that wearing a spectacle is going to help him blend in the crowd! I mean, for a hero that famous, he should consider redefining his fashion statement and refurbishing his wardrobe.
Hmm.... What difference are you going to make?
I thought I already made one..? This post being published in this blog!
Apart from that...?
Well, lets just say that am still working on that part.
Basic human tendency... Let the others start making a change and maybe, just "maybe", I'll follow suit. Well folks, I suppose that's it for now. And am not going to coax him to "make a difference"... too much work (*grins sheepishly*).
Well, I am more of the latter type...
