DAY 634 Amitabh Bachchan Blog

A strange silence descends. There is no need for it nor cause, yet it descends. It quietens the vocals and the mind. Silence is not always golden they say ; sometimes it is yellow. There is a pull that threatens to slobber, to bring action to an otherwise slower countenance. No explanation can justify what transpires, but transpires it does. It is a tad discomforting. The sluggish nature can be a disturbance within us - of body and mind, or just of body.

There is a need to reject and ignore. Reject that which is routine, or seemingly so and ignore that which is not. Who will then differentiate and tell us where we wrong and where there is right. Individuals decide what and where is desired. What is wrong for one could be right for the other and vice versa. But why should there be these elements in society. Could not we live without them. Could there be no wrong and no right. Would we have problems of existence were there to be such a condition in the universe.

We are the ones that guided our selves to recognize what was right and what wrong. Why did we do that. Who stipulated it the first time and what were his or her reasons in doing so. Did he or she hear a voice. Did they discover through some supernatural power what the invention of right and wrong would do. How and what place it would find in our being and in our existence.

I have no idea and quite frankly I couldn’t care. But if this feel has been with us through centuries, maybe it would be interesting to know what it was that made humanity succumb to these feelings.

Did we impose all this on them, then and how do we look upon it now. Would there be space in our routines to give this much thought, or will we be too aloof and sacred to even garner thought about it. Are wrong and right really in the realm of debate and question ? I ask with genuine concern. For were I not to there could be ample reason to believe that the two could not be separated. Dear me !! That would be awful !! Wrong and right on the same side ?? Never !! It would have to be another planet another universe or another planetary system, with different moons and suns - definitely not the annular eclipse system that would appear once in every 1,300 years, but, different.

The solar eclipse !! Would that be the cause ?

I would never know and neither would you.

I do however know that it is time to rest the body ..
