" Man is a social animal", this is what my social studies text book in school said. More recently, a celebrity cow doctor, Dr. Batawdekar, also used the same words only more commercially and to a large extent it is true.
I agree with it. Or do I? Hmmm, I'm not sure of that.
You see, i'm in a bit of a dilemma. Thing being that we all like to mingle and meet people. We all like to live with other people (and animals too, Bob would like to think of the lonely old women who live with cats) and interact with them. stand in line with them, get stuck in traffic jams with them and even get laid randomly. There's no denying it. BUT, then again there's a dirty thing called a leader.
Now I'm not very good with history but as far as I go, anyone who's known by more than 10,000 people worldwide and has something to say automatically becomes a leader. Its a "fame"ous person (Bob has a moment of epiphany and realizes now, why he never wants to be famous) basically. But these leaders end up splittin up things or rather "organize" people into groups and thats where the text book kinda gets screwed up.
Groupism is an old plague invented by man, that devouvers the intellect greatly and usually ends up causing death in large numbers. And its got a lotta pseudonyms similar to drugs.
Racism, caste, creed, religion, country, state, language etc.
Not only have these terms been hyped, used, abused, protested-against and banned it still remains and grows. How am i so sure of this? Read the papers, watch a movie, describe your friend to a stranger and you'll know the answer.
Who is to blame? No one.
Ourselves? Nope.
Tradition? Nope.
Leaders? Nope, they're just capitalists.
Then whom? I already said it, No one. By blaming someone we're again dividing ourselves into groups of "blamers" and "blamees" and thats the last thing we should be doing. Splitting ourselves again.
After all this i think, "man is a social animal"......lets agree on it and enjoy that.
(Bob still thinks i'm a hippie!)
