Hello Everyone. I'm the spark that started this nasty moral conflict. I am Abbhinav.
At Abhishek, I see your point on the past few posts, and I really understand what you are trying to bring out( Even if you, as usual, deny it...), the emotion of a person undermined practically his whole life.
But what you also gotta understand is that there is lot more to life than this. I am talking out of sheer experience. Don't think just because we are same in age means we are same in exposure. You would have faced things in life I haven't, I would have faced things you haven't. I have been in that stage of life, where I felt the world was against me. Nothing was going the way I wanted, and at the same time I felt all the problems in this small planet was on my shoulders. There is more to life than this, buddy. Speakin from the heart.
I understand the hatred that you have developed over the past years. But I'm sorry, you cannot at the same time blame all your troubles on the 'dude' gang (I don't know which jackass came up with that name!). They have not come into this world just to harm you. They are not goons. And they are not failures in life as well. They might think about having fun that does not come under your description of the same. Some things may be wrong. It takes time, man. Not everyone is perfect. In that way, I'm FAR from perfect!
I'm in a really abominable state of mind currently, with my grades going down, and not able to perform well in IIT coaching (as you know) and the increased passion I'm getting for the game that I love, basketball. I feel miserable, dissed by the surroundings and the people around me. And now, a moral fight between friends. What else do I want? And don't start blaming this on the gang as well. It is my problem.
But I'll tell you one thing, I have the confidence I can get through it. That is what separates me from you. Sorry, but blunt statements have to hurt sharply. Move on. It is not like the world will end cause of this. Many of my aspirations have ended because of this fight. Band practice and concerts, fun with making those videos, next year's Reverbs, all have been exterminated by this fight. But I will not blame either side. Even though I am one of the prime reasons this fight began, I will not side anyone. That just leads to more problems.
About the 5%, who told you are the minority? There are less people in atleast our school who are the 'dude' type (Sorry fellas, I don't get another term!!!). You just think they are more cause you see more of them. You know why? That's cause they know and love to socialize. That's something you need to learn. You always seem to be in some nutshell created by your own values and ideologies and you do not want to accept others as they are. That is seriously your own problem and you have to solve that. I'm not talking about relationships, I'm talking about socializing. Be different, be proud, but don’t be against those whose ideologies are not, or rather, against your own. They are not enemies; they are just not the same. Accept differences buddy, then only can you accept change.
I know most of you people here, are still against westernization or rather Americanization. Well, learn the wanted rather than the unwanted. There are so many things we can learn from the Americans. But what do we do instead? Talk about a freakin 10,000 year old culture… While not progressing forward. Talk shit behind their back and drop down at their feet in front of them. Mindset people. Change it.
Buddy, the only thing I can tell you is that I'll always be there for you. And anyone who has the heart to accept it and no ego to deny it. Cause that's what we do!!! Everything will be alright bud, have my word on that.
And to the great Mr/Ms/Mrs. Truth, Mr/Ms/Mrs. Anonymous and the Dudes, stop fighting. You guys are not powerful enough to post your own name (Proud of you Aniruddhan!!! ULTIMATE JAMMER!!!) and you guys wanna post comments. Tell me about it.
And to the others who are reading this comment, if you never knew I could be like this, know me now.
Peace out people.
