Something really repulsed me today that made me change my religious opinion on facebook from - 'Don't care' to 'Love all, hate none' - read on to find out why?
We find it so cool to have an indifferent attitute about things remotely related to politics and religion but add sex to it and you have got our attention. And I'm guessing you are on this page precisely for the same reason. I'm no expert on that subject! Sorry!
However, I did a little research and inadvertently stumbled upon some profile pages of my peers on facebook. I observed that most of my peers have a strong opinion on subjects close to sex, relationships, love etc etc. As I expected, many of them had vague, repulsive and unoriginal thoughts towards politics and religion. Someone says: I give a damn about religion. Another says: I give a f*** about politics, so and and so forth. Can't blame us can we? There really haven't been many leaders recently who inspire us. But is that the real reason or a mere excuse for us to live in denial.
I didn't vote this year and I ain't proud about it. But I do not regret it cause even if had the oppotunity I wouldn't have known whom to choose, but that is no excuse for me not to have an opinion. Infact, I chose not to be part of the mockery that Indian politics has become but as an individual I do have a political opinion and I urge the rest of you to have one too. If not buy one, there are lots of books available plus give facebook a miss for like 10 mins a day and read ibnlive or even yahoo... The opinion could vary from mild, moderate to high but one must have a say. Things like 'give a damn' is so damn uncool, you sound like a stupid bimbo irrespective of whether you use the men's room or the women's one! Who are you to give a damn! You have disrespected and disregarded our 'political' freedom movement and those who fought and died for you to have the very freedom to give a f****ing damn!
And if you 'give a damn' about politics and religion, you are in a way saying its ok for Mr. Raj Thakeray to say and do as he pleases, for Kasab to come to our country and kill our people, cause why should you care, you 'give a damn' to who dies where and how until it affects you or your kin. So next time you are updating your profile picture on facebook, spare a thought - for all does who died on 26/11 and please pray for them unless you decide to update your political opinion to: I'm thinking...
