As the election season approaches, what strikes me is the futility of this entire exercise. Is it that people desire to be wooed by false pretenses because they themselves are too limp to take matters in to their hands?
Or is it that after putting up a 'leader' in power, then only they get to wile away their time incoherently debating his rights and wrongs?
I happened to come across the candidate list for Kerala and a skewed gender ratio among them is obviously inherent and accepted as the norm. Well, this isn't much of a surprise and shouldn't be made out to be a malady. With the threat of being labelled masochistic, women are cribbers and I wish they put up more effort in toppling gender injustice rather than complaining and awaiting privilege handouts.
The people want to be lied to, because after all there is nothing sexy about the truth. Truth has no glamour. Facts are boring while lies fill you with lust for a life that isn't there.
From the day you're born, you're managed, or shepherded. Freedom is the carrot dangled, with survival as an after-thought. The disabled and the disadvantaged have the absolute freedom to die alone. Human genome greatly helps in creating selfish, disassociated entities with the sole objective of self-propagation.
A long time ago, as I stood witness, one of my friends was narrating an incident from the previous day to another friend of mine. He unabashedly added on flurries of lies and half-truths to convert boring real facts into sexy half-truths and in some instances to lies. After a while, I questioned the authenticity of the narration as I was a witness to the previous day's events as well, to which the reply indubitably was, what is so interesting and fun about speaking the truth?
