We are taught manners- how to eat, talk, sit, stand, walk and breathe. We are taught how to dress. We are governed by rules that regulates even the basic activities of life. And all this is imposed on us from our childhood, never giving us opportunity to explore ourselves and what we are made of. We are given the answers to questions we don't know. And worse yet, we are given answers that someone else wrote. We are taught to behave and then labelled as decent and civilised citizens.
But whatever the society could teach or impose on us is not gonna change what we are made of deep down. With ideologies that are imposed and nameless feelings at our mind and heart conflicting with each other, we just tread along, always feeling unsettled and confused. We tread along the paths that's already defined for us since its easier than figuring out the path for us, which requires acting against the prescribed norms of the society.
We might give someone a suit, call him learned and honest, but we can never change what he really is inside. So who are we cheating here?
Can we really predict someone by the outfit, the walk and the talk when he is acting the way he was taught? Aren't we just staging shows and voluntarily getting cheated?
If it is true, that we have to accept everyone for what they are, if the word individuality even has a meaning, then shouldn't we let people be themselves and then weigh them based on how they behave? which would also be honest and truthful since the face we are seeing is not a facade!
Each person is born different, everyone thinks different, everyone feels different. Chaos is the mother of nature, chaos is the mother of the Earth. Chaos is the norm of life and Chaos, is what defines the basic human nature. So, it is the Chaos, that we have to embrace. And any attempt to bring uniformity is just a futile attempt at staging a magic show, in which the magician doesn't just cheat the crowd but also himself!
