Breaking down Quotes 1

From the time when we are born, random philosophy is thrown at our minds with an intent of culturing it. We set out with a thought that really impacts the way we understand how the mechanics of the world function. By the time we are old enough to realize the world is much more complicated than just one philosophy, we are either too old to amend, or too naive to accept it. Either ways we need to acknowledge the probability of our philosophy being flawed in a way, increased so, if we havent already given it a thought.
"An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind" 
Philosophy is a book of thoughts compiled over the  mountains of experiences. This is one such thought quoted by our beloved M.K. Gandhi. There are situations where this statement is witty, where one should always walk away, where no good comes out of a fight. There are situations where this statement isn't true. There are 2 kinds of people- Who'd rather fight their way out of everything and the second who'd rather make themselves believe that the thing is something they never wanted and thus believe this philosophy. Intellectuals on the other hand have something that every common man doesn't. Intellectuals are the people who do not take the world as it is, yet understand how it is. They are able to analyze a situation, understand and level with how important it is for them and then decide whether or not to fight for it. Philosophy brings in the perspective and the power to reason.
"Ignorance is a bliss, knowledge is a responsibility."
The fact that this quote made its place in this world makes it somewhat true. However to be accepted is a whole different scenario. The internet having brought people together believes that formal education is no longer necessary. Information, has now become a commodity. The fact that formal education is no longer required brings us to but one conclusion-" Information is a commodity, yet knowledge is a privilage" Structured approach towards stressing over the need of learning information and breaking down the ability of understanding has made this quote an important one. Even with all the information in the world, one can remain ignorant and even without any information updates, one can always remain knowledgeable. Knowledge is a culture that seasons a mind into differentiating between right or wrong in its own given capacity, This system has been fundamentally broken due to introduction of formal education system, because prescription never works as well as a good old lesson the hard way. However the world is gradually moving towards the eradication of the information bazaar.
"The world is only black and white"
In any given situation there is always a right, there is always a wrong. But like a kaleidoscope, the definition of right or wrong changes parameters from person to person, from ages, to all the possible variations including mood and time. This is because whats acceptable, whats right or wrong is nothing but a perspective in the mind of the judge. The fundamentals of logic are based on emotional links to events from the past. Thus what may seem white to one may seem grey to another and black to someone else. However true intellectuals understand the value of white and black in others opinion and manage to get their way using simple tricks of mentalism. The world is upheld by people who believe in its revival, and is run by those who believe in their own selfishness.

I'd like to end this post here, maybe i have ended up confusing you further or maybe i gave you something to think about. Let me know if i should make more of this, i had this in my mind for a very long time. Any ideas from viewers side are always appreciated!

The Ricochet

The moment a person is born the purity of the soul is diminished by the forces prevalent on earth. Just like a raindrop that touches the ground the soul is never really entirely pure until it is evaporated back into the place we call afterlife. The sanity of human nature is derived from the duality of these unseen unnamed forces. All the good, all the bad, all that is perceived from the general behavior of all human beings, all of it is a periodic spectacle of a perspective embedded deep within the human nature. The soul can never be discovered because it does not exist, or is it beyond our non astral selves to ever reach the capabilities to figure out the nature of the two un-named fundamental forces that chart the very meaning of our being?
And just like that thoughts wander onto the social concordance towards the fundamentals of unacceptable human behavior, made admissible by the throng of those who seek power. War is the strongest paradigm of socially accepted distasteful human behavior. The quote "Everything is fair in War" just justifies the words quoted by Sir Winston Churchill "War is the Orgy of Disorder"
Now however bad humanity may seem there is always a second side to a coin. The Human nature is a very complex yet extremely simple science. Human behavior is mangled by the flaws defaulted into it by the perceptions of the thoughts inside the human mind. Now sometimes, however bad it may seem it is extremely necessary to have a revolution, to have a hurricane, a whirlwind,  a tsunami before the rainbow appears. That being said, it is exceedingly treacherous to allow an exception to the human mind. Creative as it is, it can turn any situation in favor of its own acceptable exception and do what its inner soul begs of it. Disorder.
Now everybody wants to settle down, make a living, live a peaceful life. But embedded deep within our lizard brains somewhere is a devil that does not allow us to do so. Those who win over him are either truly genius or extremely lazy. No matter what a person has achieved in his or her lifetime, no matter what potential a person holds; the greed of power always trumps the need of stability. This is the effect of Earth on the soul of a human being. However humans have managed to use this constant need of approval and strength in their own favor making them the strongest living creatures on Earth. So far that now they dream of a life without Earth, without plants or even without an atmosphere. The arrogance of human progress lies within this very brain infected from the wordly desires. The optimization of otherwise impure thoughts into extremely beneficial elements that boost the progress of human race has become possible due to this ill fated ambition.
Human nature revolves around anecdotes from the past, experiences from the near antiquity and the burden of perspective laid down upon it. The greatest of great saints are not spared from the vices of the human mind, let alone commoners like you and me. This just leads to a philosophy that its all meant to be. The humans are and are meant to be the strongest living creatures on Earth. No matter what humans will always find a way to survive. In a modern world, the jungle rule still survives. It is and always will be the survival of the fittest. Just like a Earthly contaminated raindrop needs the contamination to make the water mineral rich and fit for drinking. The human soul must remain contaminated for the ricochet of the Golden era after every Disorder.
