Thought. Evolution. Idealogy.

There can be no restrictions on thought, which is a constantly evolving process. There should be room for fresh thoughts and ideas.

It is difficult to pinpoint the final principle of any ideology. It is therefore not right to adopt an attitude that what we have accepted as the final principle of our ideology is the ultimate truth. It is essential that our ideology stands the test of being beneficial for humankind as a whole. The thought process will not come to a halt at any time.

Paraphrased version of a statement by Atal Behari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India.

I suppose the only relevant question at this point is - Is anyone even listening? Because what this is, is one man's wisdom that actually rings true for the billions in the mob. The mob of fundamentalists everywhere that have taken up a cause, and believe beyond themselves that their chosen cause is the one true cause. The mob that believes that anyone that refuses to believe what it believes, deserve to die.

The subversion of the mob mentality, the group ego, the immovable object becoming the irresistible force, will all of these be intervened by a saner mind? By a saner thought? History says yes, and no. And that sad and conflicted answer is why India's Hindus are still fighting the caste-related issues, while simultaneously displaying remarkable progress in redressing the issues. It is why even after so many years and so many conflicts and so many so-called crusades, the holy land of Jerusalem has yet to see peace amongst its Moslem, Christian and Jewish people. It is the primary reason why the idealogues on the right-wing conservative Republican party bash the idealogues on the left-wing liberal Democratic party in the United States. And it is precisely why foul-mouthed idiots like Ann Coulter, with her immense intelligence, yet manages to spew rhetoric and half-truths.

The voice of reason. The song of thought. The verses of sensibility. The music of this trinity. Sadly they are getting trampled beneath our own weight of stupidity and utter lack of sense. People, for reason or lack thereof, simply want to listen to the jarring notes of stupidity, and forego any claim to thought after hearing it. Simply said, we are all zombies.
