BREAK....FREE

Morals, they say, are born out of the terror of the society. Religion, the terror of god…basic necessities, the terror of dea th and socializing, the terror of oneself. To live is a superstructure built on a limitless foundation of terror. It architects every part of our life, structuring every action, constructing every outcome.  And we simply love the way it orchestrates our life. It has become integral to us almost to an extent that we shudder at the prospect of life without terror. For all it has metaphorically replaced water as the basic necessity of life. For some it has upshot to the point of beingcalled as “The Creator”. But is it worth being called the basic necessity of life or for instance The creator?

To disagree would be foolish. Everything that we witness in our insignificant lifespan is dictated by terror. Our representatives form policies, fiscal or defense, fearing the outbreak from domestic or external forces. Our colleagues work because of the fear of their immediate seniors. We do things because we fear going against the society, against the rules, against the set patterns. Fear, has imbibed itself to such an extent in our lives that our every action seems to be influenced by it or to put it correctly…driven by it. 

Yet, the eminence that terror has attained is a result of sheer stupidity on our part. None but we are the ones responsible for assigning so much gravity to terror. Had it not been for us making fear the driving force behind our every step, it still would have been lying low beneath the foundations of happiness. But we humans have a tendency to do things that sink our standards and characteristically we did it again. Terror now enjoys the supremacy like never before, thanks to us. And we only have the power to challenge and dethrone it. Why let it influence and drive our every thought, every outcome when we are better off without it. We fear much about the society, the people, their school of thought but to ward off the fear is necessary. It not only degrades the living but also takes one far away from the state of tranquility. Doing away with it requires strength but even a cooped bird has to break its cage to achieve what it always yearns for…being “A FREE BIRD”.
