Bigotry, self righteousness are the traits common in most of
the people, but setting national pride aside, I have noticed we are specially
gifted in these. Argumentation and debate arises when we try to judge others in
the mirror of ourselves. We lack the ability of letting our self go, and for
once try to understand the phenomena without involving any “me” in it. Finding
one whose reflection is same as yours is nearly impossible. But the thing that
saddens me most is that we allow our preconceived notions to block any access
of new ideas, its not that one should accept them out rightly, but we even don’t
bother to invest any time to find out whether they hold any water or not. This
habit of procrastinating has made us in an ignorant nation, where I am
proponent of the premise that “reasons can’t stand for feelings”, but for us it’s
true in every wrong way.
