the rebel

Posted: Aug 1, 2007 Wed 01:02 am     Views: 178    Interacts: 1


i always think that how true this statement is "the man is born free but is everywhere in chains"....so many chains that we just cant get rid of those chains. some chains are visible and some are not so visible, the visible chains are quite bearable and in my opinion are, to some extent easy to break but the invisible chains are difficult to track down and even more difficult to break.

but the question arises why do we need to break the chains...and normally not everyone seems to be breaking them, the ones who are living happily or seemingly living happily are considered the normal people and the ones trying to get rid of the chains or break away with them are the ones termed as rebel (and a rebel is different in different settings)

i so much like to be a rebel, rebel of my own settings because when i will break away the chains of my own settings it wont mean that i break away all the chains, i will still be entrapped...sometimes chains of my own principles (yea, rebels can have the principles of their own), sometimes in the chains of those settings i will enter after breaking away with my present settings, so how will i be liberated, how will i find freedom???

hmmm, i think here comes the great "theory of relativity" by Einstein...oooh yea that theory is absolutely applicable on the social scenarios just exactly it is applicable at the universe...why do we take the social scenarios in isolation from the universe by the way???

so we were talking about the "theory of relativity", i think this is the greatest contribution of this scientist not only to physics or science but to the "universe" (on whole)...so by applying the theory of relativity on the social settings and scenarios we will have to take different social settings as a unique and full fledge frame of refernce. by doing so we will be able to have various perceptions and conditions of "liberation" and "freedom", so maybe liberation in one social scenario would be different from the other one...

and to make it more individualized we can start off with an individual (with individual i mean a thinking human being), so considering an individual having his/her own frame of reference would create millions of different perceptions of liberation..

i believe there are certain chains which are universal, these chains are for good chains of morals (with morals i mean only those which are universal) and chains of humanity...to keep the world peaceful we do need certain chains, we even need boundaries to keep identity but otherwise in order to liberate the mankind we need to apply theory of reltivity and should let every individual find his or her own liberation in his or her own way.

Very thought provoking, Rukhsana.
