We, the people. We, who are more divided, than united. United by the race, by the religion, or by the caste and yet these are also the dividing factor, which weighs down more upon us.

We have not tried to live for improving our life, but rather for matching and bettering the neighbour’s life. The means, always justify the end. The end, though is never justified. We, the people, have lost ourselves in small disputes or petty problems, at the same time, turning a blind eye on the larger issues. Where are we headed, if this continues?

I am no sociologist or a biologist or any ist, but the people, the society we have, and the movement of this society has been seen in 2 distinct directions. One is towards the western culture or so called modernism , and the other in the fundamentalism, or towards the core-religiosity. The fundamentals believe that we need to adapt to religion. They believe that religion is the answer, the answer to everything and everyone. And to make each of us understand this answer, all the means used by them are justified. For the modernist, however it is the religion that has to adapt to his / her lifestyle. Religion for them is only a question, and the answer a tough nut to crack. Hence, they accept it as a inheritance and move on. Some chuck it on the way, if the burden gets too heavy.

We the people, have moved more towards science than spirituality. Because that is where the future lies, as many people say. Yet the ones who believe in spirituality, dont feel the need to advertise. They understand that this is something that will pervade through the people and slowly the effects will be understood on their own.

We, the people, are either too involved in our busy lives to question what is happening, or having infinite time to wonder about the questions regarding what is really happening. Some choose the first part solely to avoid the second, which tends to make them feel totally unworthy or small. Yet for the other we the same questions end up having the opposite effect. A feeling of understanding and self-fulfillment.

Examples galore, that we are not we but a composite of i and i or maybe we and we . There is nothing universal to us. Everything is modified to the different we’s, we handle. We, the people, at time can show solidarity, but at the core of our hearts we still remain concerned about the other man’s advantage. And out of these masses of we, there are some who can rise above. These dont remain a part of us, rather they create the we .
