May the 'Truth' prevail

Truth prevails. In the battle of truth and fallacy, only truth prevails. But hold on, how do you verify that, or can you? Truth can only be verified against its relative opposite!! History is written by the one who prevails, who wins the battle. Why will the prevailer not say truth was with me? Why will he not lie? Who is there to stop him? No one, and nothing, because thats how he had won, by killing the opponent.

The winner writes history, and history has always been an account of the glory of the one who survived the battle. And in a battle, only one side survives. 'History is a one sided account', to quote Dan Brown.

So, truth doesn't prevail, rather, what prevails becomes the truth, and is been made to be the truth. And that is the reason even history is relative. For instance, Indians look at the revolt of 1857 against British colonists as a war for independence, a war of bravery to win back their motherland from aliens. And what do the British call it? They call it 'The great rebellion' against a stable and peaceloving government. If you don't believe me, visit the War Museum at Leeds, UK. While it is debatable who really won at the end of it, only one of the two sides can be with the Truth, isn't it?

So, truth prevails, but it is easy for anything to become the truth if there is nothing and no one to challenge. And that is how truth has been prevailing in our world. It goes on to say all that happens beneath our staunchly propogated feel good, 'Satyameva Jayate'.

Give 'whom' a chance?

Peace is a dangerous passion to have. Paradox? Remotely. If you are obsessed with the idea of peace, you are making enemies with those who do not want peace. And to the incomprehensible things that people do to destroy peace, killing you will hardly add anything. It will not matter to them. Now you know why it is dangerous to want peace? It's not that destroying peace is any safer, but then, it is supposed not to be, because you have to and should be paying for destroying peace, in kind. But should wanting peace be dangerous? Whether it should or not, I do not know, but I know that it IS. Gandhi was killed. Do you want peace? The first agreement you need to come to is you will have to give away your piece of peace. And it’s not always about killing, and not about world peace either. Sometimes you seek peace with your friends, your family, and the same rule applies. Wanting peace is dangerous. Isn't it? Therefore, to do justice to your passion for peace, it is essential to have the courage to see it destroyed. It's that tough

Serving Time

What does the prisoner lose, and keep losing for all his term in the prison? Freedom? Yes,
but isnt he going to be free after the term? What is he losing then? What is he serving?
What is the lack of his freedom bound to? TIME, isn't it? He is serving time. A time he will
lose doing not a thing that counts toward the progress of his life, toward the well being of
himself and his people. It is the penultimate punishment for the most heinous of crimes in
the world, the ultimate being denial of the right to live.

When it is considered to be such a big loss to have lost time, why do we waste time? Why
don't we take a step back to think where we are going, are we moving at all, and in what
direction? We are serving time, just like a prisoner, in the precise sense of imprisonment,
with the only difference that we have chosen to serve time. There is hardly anything more
pathetic than this. This is the cause of every impression of worthlessness and sorrow. The
absence of a sense of improvement, the ceasing of evolution.

When you cannot utilize time to take yourself into a better state than you were, it is
unconsciously obvious to everyone around you that you can never benefit or guide
others--that you can not serve the basic purpose of being social.

I do not mean to sound patronising, and I AM sincerely trying to mind my language. Here, I
have just tried to point out one of the reasons that I feel are behind the want of social
acceptance that many of us suffer from, and how it is linked to the way we use our own time.
I only mean to ring a bell.
