We are a mere spectator. Though the society is ours, yet we run away from our responsibilities. We fear from even giving the social issues a thought. We fear introspecting ourselves to find the answer to the question “WHY”. Come to think of it, a number of Why’s are in the list with no absolute answer.

Instead of trying to find an answer we prefer to blindfold ourselves and make an escapade through merriment. We fail to realize that even if we leave the problems alone, it won’t stop haunting us. So long we don’t perish, it will continue to drive us crazy, robing away our peace of mind.

Failure is ours for we are not willing to face it. Back in school we leart, “Failures are the pillars of success”. But the phrase don’t seem to have a place in our lives. We have let our own gut-feeling defeat our pride. We are so engross in our selfish motives that we have failed to reason with ourselves about right and wrong.

All that we look for personal or materialistic gains. What matters is our own comfort. Sadly, this sort of feeling have developed into a trend. And we name it as Reality! Ask anyone about it and those who ignore this things will be declared as insane and those who appreciates this kind of thought will be referred to as a sensible and sane person.

All that matters is the dressing style, A1 lifestyle, hi-fi status, fashion and a lot more things inclined to materialism. The state is going through economic crises but we can’t afford to miss the festive occassions. We can’t afford to miss the opportunity to take part in Thabal Chongba, blockades will go on and can be tended later on, that too only if we have time to spare.

We can forsake things of state importance but we can’t forsake our personal benefits. Oh, what a thought! One who commits atrocity is a criminal, one who does not fight back (whom we often refer to as victims) is a bigger criminal but the biggest criminal is the bystander, who despite seeing and knowing everything turns a blind eye and keeps quiet doing nothing.

Either ways we will be criminal but what matters is the type of criminal we wish to be. Should we fight back or watch silently? What is our legacy to the next generation? Should we die with pride or should we live with humiliation and disgrace? It is for us to make the choice, for us to carve the future for our generation, the next and further on.
