Changing Your Thinking

I have been thinking for some days, that the society needs to change. I know that's not a new thing. Many people say that everyday all over the world. So I didn't say anything new or innovative. But the thing is, although so many people think this, there haven't been any change over the past years. Sure you will say, there have been lots. And many examples too can be provided by you. But in the end, you too will have to agree, our own perceptions and beliefs, are still the same as was with our forefathers, going from generation to generation, unscathed. These principles were taught to us by our parents and grandparents, since when we were children, and consequently we came to the belief that those were of our own, as we forgot that we were in verity told about them.

In today's world, most people who even try to venture out of the flow of the social orthodox thinking, are termed as mad, abnormal, or pretty much anything that is vilifying to them. The definition of this thing: madness, remains the same as was a hundred years ago. And I am not talking about mentally unbalanced conditions here,  that's not my specialty. I am talking about the instances when someone does something even an ordinary thing but in an out of the ordinary way, he is called mad. As simple as that. We don't even think. Just one thought occurs, it's not in accordance with the general social standard, right?? So, his screw is loose. He has mental problems. Going to save the world alone. And off we are, laughing. Little do we realize that from their perception, they are geniuses(may truly be) and we are mad.

There are many such views which need to be dealt with. But the poignant truth is, that no one advances to do so(not even me). And with this note, I accept this is abrupt, and still, I will have to take your leave.
