Opinion, opinions – we all are
opinionated, whether we are the rulers, or if we are from the subservient class
– being opinionated is a universal right, the origin of which is
psychologically involuntary in nature and therefore, is irrespective of its realization
effects.
Opinions – they have been the
underlying reasons in regions across the globe, over the ages, to establish and
dismantle regimes, to shape and reshape definitions of terms like humanity,
civilization, modernity, development, war, peace, and ‘so on’ of the lexicon.
Opinions – they create a Nazi out of
an Adolf Hitler that opinionates that Jews and other inferior ‘races’ are to be
wiped out from the face of the Earth and goes all out to implement it.
Opinions – they give us a Mother
Teresa who opinionates that the destitute of the world need immediate
assistance and she spends her whole creating a big organization devoted for the
cause.
The person - the good and the bad – the
Saint and the Satan – measure of humanity – scaled by the presence, absence and
munificence of virtues.
Opinions – good or bad – there are
plenty of them – pushed by circumstances, triggered by atmospherics – the process
of them taking over us is involuntary – riding on the moments, mundane or visibly
significant.
Opinions – yes, but it is voluntary
to rework our ways once we come to realize the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ of our
opinions – largely an experience-based learning – fed by us, by others and by
the circumstances.
Taking a decision when it comes to
this – the defining moments of life that define ‘who we were’ - when we say that
final goodbye!
