The Crowd

The crowd is a very odd thing and the leaders lead us in the crowds where the aggregate of people are just strangers. We walk through the same path just lead by the nation to reach only to our homes from our work just seeing the faces of a lot of strangers in our homes.

Falling onto the incessant desire of worldly objects man searches his spot in the CROWD to achieve his whims and fancies in life. We are almost a majority of unfamiliar faces in the world and gone are days when faces became famous with feats of achievements. After the advent of television and cinema, our familiar faces are just stars and celebrities whom the media pundits promote in society. Furthermore advancing man searches in E-traffic for his position in the digital, spending days and weeks in front of social media for social acceptance. We are searching for that approval of stardom when we search for those nuisances of the world to follow with our lives not knowing to discern what is worth following.

The crowd is a weird phenomenon and we are subjected to it always when we are outside our homes and sometimes even the dear ones fall into the category of the crowd considering our fast lives for our journey towards hollow mundane achievements. We experience a thousand unfamiliar faces with our daily lives where everybody is on their way to something big and then forget we are also a part of the crowd and poke in somebody else’s business or just mind our own businesses. When we walk or drive through a lane, road, village, or city where everybody is unfamiliar to us unless they are self introduced or somebody else introduces them to us.

Actually, as part of a crowd what are we doing or searching or finding is not a big mystery. The crowd follows trends and what you get is what everybody else has or is pursuing; every spot that the crowd follows is replaceable with millions according to the current system of the world be it a President or a Chaprasi which makes everybody pretty much normal in the world; but where does the abnormal fit in the system? It’s a mad rush out there and men are not subjugated in this wild run of pigs through inculcating values. The fact is that man is just under an imbecile law made by humans for the crowd to arrange in a certain order.

The people of a nation are its subjects and nobody naturally subjugates to anything in anarchy or in an unlawful nation. A crowd never accepts its limitations in society and the crowd is informed as much as the ruling class wants them to be. Take water for example; the general notion of water is that we become healthy by drinking 8 glasses of water every day and we don’t consider its impact on our biological etheric self and of the nature around us; Water is good because it is part of our health and we strike off every other notion related to water and also start regulating it in the world as a master of the element water.

The crowd is just following standard norms and procedures put forward by the ruling class or by an open market and I say a revolution is due. A revolution to change time and to make religion is at stake when the crowd starts being sensible and following doctrines of the communities that they hail from first and being orthodox believers rather than following market trends.

Now, how free is the modern man? He is as free as he thinks he is and ends up just becoming an idiot in the eyes of the world. It's wiser to find and accept our condition as it is than just thinking with our brains that we are free when the bondage is for the soul. I might be free from my perspective of my body but never from the perspective of my soul.
