How you miss being in control drives you
to overpower masses and lay waste on order and regulations. That’s your
part-terrorism definition right there. If you jump a traffic light, you are a
terrorist. If you go in through the gate marked ‘exit’, you are a terrorist. If
you have mint and soda in succession, you’re a terrorist. If you perch
someplace other than your allotted spot, you’re a terrorist. You won’t believe
the number of things you did wrong today, that you did wrong this week, or this
month, or all your life that lead to my labelling you a Terrorist.
But who gives a rat’s ass about my labels?
No one.
You don’t either.
So stop absorbing judgmental comments and
frivolous remarks that don’t define you. Stop it from getting deeper into your
skin and washing away all you’ve built about yourself, all these years and with
so many experiences. Stop it from outweighing all of that. But more of that
later; now look what happened, I deviated in my excitement.
Okay, so you are not in control always.
But, I’m telling this to you: You are in control now. You have the choice of
reading beyond this comma, or clicking that small but ever-so-powerful Red
Cross on the top right corner of this window, which will make me disappear. Or
you have a choice to read, and know exactly when and how you get back the reins
of this chariot, or simply, “Your life”.
Now this isn’t an absolute. Your
environment plays the only role. That is, of course, apart from your will.
Picture a classroom, full of rascals that upturn benches and tear posters and
throw stationary from one corner to the other.
THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!
So, do not go for the fire alarm to make a
mess, even when the physics lecture gets on your nerves.
Now picture yourself in a group. Let’s
say, for instance, a drama company to spice things up. You know you’re the
greatest actor in the house, but you don’t get roles that last more than five
minutes. This is one of those occurrences where your shutting up and doing the
damned part wouldn’t be worthy of your talent. You need to speak up, and act in
accordance with only what your gut shouts to you. Give them the scare! Get your
own role. Get one that makes use of your talents; don’t let them gather dust
and cobwebs deep inside you.
Fight battles with righteousness. Fight them
believing your cause to be the supposed good. Get in control under one
condition: Self-righteousness. A boy is given a radio controlled car when he is
able to manoeuvre it. You’re the boy. Manoeuvre only when you’re supposed to.
Revolt only when the results are good.
That’s exactly what the Renaissance was
all about. It destroyed, and created wonders.
Better ones.
