Might for the right or Might is right?

Moral Imperatives, that's what I have been thinking about for a long time. Taking the high road. How many of us feel that it's getting tougher each day to be taking the high road? The soul often feels depleted and depressed, and more often than not exhausted due to a constant fight in the mind. The conscience knows what's correct and yet by not implementing it, we begin a cycle of feeling inadequate, and that our philosophy of life in this present day has become self-defeating. Instead of enhancing and enriching our lives experiences and achieving spiritual richness, we are settling for a compromised way of life. It isn't to say to compromise is wrong, but that's a conversation for a later day. I am saying the motto of this society is "everyone is wrong, so no one is guilty"...That's how a writer whom I immensely admired put it and I cannot agree more.

A nation is wronged for ages and there is a limit to how much its people can endure, so it revolts. Thats totally understandable, it is when these movements for freedom, justice (or whatever the cause is) digress and become self-serving, self-righteous, tyrannical and savage, while interpreting religion or any other doctrine in their own twisted way, that's when things go barbaric. Take the naxals, maoists, rebel groups anywhere in the world, they all lose focus, they forget why they started it in the first place. Killing, hurting human and animal life has become a way of life to a lot of people. Sometimes, I want to introduce these people to a certain something called conscience.

We are all capable of much more than this. We were not made to sit and watch, yet we do, reduced to a herd of helpless beings. I wonder where that quality in us has gone, the quality of tolerance. Did the word Humanity not come from the very word that defines us: 'Human'. Then why is it that we lack the most in that area? There is a lesson or two we can and should learn from some animals, they don't hunt unless hungry, unless necessary, and what is necessary is not set by one animal's standards or one particular animal's fancies. It is the norm. It is how the universe designed it. We should all have more respect to the order of the universe than we do now.
