Silent Processes: Dialectics Between an Individual and the Majority of the Living Humans.


The innate characteristics of an individual, designed schematically, act independently of the external forces along with the outside historical conditions that s/he has surpassed so far, both shaping his or her conduct in many ways. If analysis is done carefully using an ethical lens based on humanistic values or as per dharma, you may come to the conclusion that the individuals having a nature of not compromising with the core or innate attributes rarely disturb others in any way, are constantly involved in a process of contradiction with the majority of the living humans having inverse opinions about the individuals stated above, which they pose conditionally whenever they get a chance to do so.

The majority of the living humans forming inverse opinions about an individual incur no loss in actual except for one that the views that the former makes for the latter and try to impose over him or her are countered repetitively and not accepted by the individual the way the majority of the living humans want, the corollary of which is that an individual accordingly becomes able to avoid the situation of facing loss that s/he might have faced if s/he allows and accepts uncritically the imposed inverse opinions at face value.

Here, an individual sticks to his or her core or innate characteristics, consequently forming his or her own principles, and constantly resists giving the control of his or her conduct to others till the last when s/he achieves enormous success. This is the point where the majority of the living humans show their real malleable nature, residing in external spaces outside of that space where an individual lives, struggling to protect one’s innate character, and ultimately, as per the demanded condition, the majority involve themselves in changing their stance with regard to the inverse opinions for which they've persistently argued.

It's not always good to forget.

The phases of life, consisting of both good and bad elements, once elapsed, leave behind many teachings for you, whose hands you ought not to leave ever, which many a time are in contradiction to our behavior towards these learned lessons; and that is pity because this is the mistake what humans rarely miss to make even after encountering personal experiences also. Dissociation with the past, remembrance of specific reminiscence, and selection, deselection, forgetting, and erasure of memories are some of the habits that are sufficient enough to substantiate what Marx said in 1852 in 'The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte' that 'all great world-historic facts and personages appear twice, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.'

स्मृतियां

 


बैंगनी रंग का लिबास ओढ़े

दिसंबर के आखिरी दिन की स्मृतियाँ 

आती है सालाना

दरवाज़े की सीढ़ियों तक


स्मृतियाँ नहीं देती हैं दस्तक

साथ आई लिबास में लिपटी गंध

कराती है बोध मुझे उनके आने का


मैं भरोसा रख किवाड़ खोल देता हूँ 

जैसे खोला था स्व को उसके सामने तब

वास्तविक रूप में बिना झिझके

सभी ताकतों और कमज़ोरियों के साथ


नए साल की सुबह सालाना स्मृतियाँ 

बिस्तर से उठ बिन किसी आहट के

धूप की किरणों से व्याप्त कमरे के फर्श से होते हुए

लौट जाती है एक बार

फिर से आने के लिए


छोड़ जाती हैं पीछे बस

चादर की सिलवटों में अपनी गंध

अगले साल तक के लिए

जैसे छोड़ गई थी कुछ तब

सदा के लिए


एहसास गंध का

सिर्फ़ चादर में ही नहीं बचा रहता

बनी रहती है याद उसकी

स्मृतियों में भी निरंतर
