Privacy at stake

The question of privacy is near to my heart. A person has the right to have a privet life. In fact it is a prime necessity. If one has to open up his life for others to view it and form judgments on it then this prime need is denied. Okay, man is a social animal; he can not remain cooped up in pupae and go on as if nothing has happened in the rest of the world. He has to be out and doing his thing for the society. He has derived certain things from it and has a duty to return something to it. That is how we progress. But at the same time individuality is a fact. It has its own inherent value. Imagine a world where every one is like every one else. That brings jitters into your soul. The sorry fact is that certain people are trying to make it happen.

The basic stand with them is that individuality is troublesome and unless it is controlled and behavior is modulated it would cause damage, but damage to whom? To them who are in the business of controlling others. They do not for a moment think that they are placed there to protect this very same feature that they are trying to annual. Let us not be credulous. The world has changed, the once existing notions of free will is no more in consideration now anywhere. It is subject to power. Power is as much hereditary as it was before. Do not make any mistake about it, it is happening all over the world. Empires, both financial and political are being inherited by the descendents more and more. It is easier that way, it has been proved. It saves a lot of effort and time and trouble to produce a new brand of leaders. Why go into such a lot of trouble if we can fashion the offspring’s in a manner they would obey our orders.

There is no denying the fact that there is class who are controlling others even at present and who can modify behavior to such an extant that it appears as free volition on the part of those who are being subjected to it. Trouble is created artificially to cause doubt in the minds of the common people to pass legislations which are regressive in nature. This is happening all over the world. These people at the same time are eroding the very substance on which the culture is built upon.

They are defiling the environment by their insensitive utilization of its resources. They are dislocating people from their homes to unfamiliar terrains. All this is a part of a giant scheme. I was never in favor of communism as such. But it is fact that the decline of the communist bloc has done great damage to the cause of man in general. It has placed us in the hands of a few unscrupulous individuals who consider themselves as gods entrusted with the responsibility to rule. They are elated, because they see the fall of communism as a proof of their stand that common man can not be a master of himself and need some one else to take care of him. This is a slaves and masters story. Unless we are aware of the dangers of this particular brand of thought, we would be soon at the mercy of those who believe in it. This is not alarmism even, it is much beyond that. This stand is a remnant of our conscious efforts to control our environment in the past. It has dug its roots deep into us so that we are sometimes blissfully unaware of the things that it is making us do.

It is a victorious psyche in action. What is worse is the fact that it is operating out of our own sanction. Not overt and knowing sanction, but covert and ignorant approval.

Let us beware of this invisible slayer of humanity. We built culture to combat this evil. We thought we fenced it of by fashioning democracy. We thought by decentralizing we are back in power, But no. It is not the world of yore where simple equations were operating. Then we were sure of what we were hearing and what we were seeing. We are now not sure of any such things. We are constantly being subjected to a farce enacted solely for our benefit. We are being taken in by the force of this unseen devil that is within us. Our oppressors are aware of this devil; they are its vassals and beneficiaries. They firmly believe that the history is on their side. Yes the history is on their side, but the history has not always been right, was it.

If need be let us fight history to root out this evil for once and always.
