A fabricated Lie.........your right Johanan!!

Johanan, high five. You struck me this time. I coundn’t care less. He was true. “We live in a tomb of a big fabricated lie.” Instances :

1)      There the other day, I was watching the Wimbledon  semi-final match between Jo Wilfred Tsonga and Novak Djokovic. The match was a thriller as it has always been. There were people, whom we call audience by the principle, clapping at each and every point and the weird thing was that they were clapping for both. It was not like that they supported one single person.
 I was a stern supporter of Novak Djokovic and I bit my lips every time Tsonga won a point. This is crucial in life, to be focussed towards one single thing, and here I was. But look what I got there. SARCASM. The people were clapping and lauding the both players! Weird, isn’t it? So they seem to be goaless people?? Is that so?? Or were they just enjoying the game; like you see, Novak and Tsonga were their entertainer. They were entertainer. Entertainer doesn’t mean they were jokers or singers. Just entertainer. Coz people were enjoying the game, like they enjoy watching a comedy movie, take it to be a circus!

2)      Now look at this point from a different view. People paid big bucks to see the Wimbledon semi-final, and to get enjoyment, like you can call this ENTERTAINMENT. Didn’t they? And poor Djokovic and Tsonga battled their sweat out, struggling with strength and struggling with every bit of sunlight that attacked them. They toiled hard, and among the two only the one who was winning was enjoying the game. OF course that had to be, coz you never want to be the losing side, and you would always wish  after losing the game to turn back the time, to kick your opponent’s butt out! Someone or the other has to pay the price. Tsonga’s hard toil, running from one end to the other turned futile! And look here, while Tsonga was toiling hard and had to give up at the last moment, the audience were laughing and getting entertained, right? They were enjoying every bit of it, right? But they didn’t do anything, like stopping the game, or atleast, sympathising with Tsonga? ?
3)      Now take a clue, for me, suppose, entertainment is like watching somebody fighting over something. So I would just sit there and watch, right? Coz, I love enjoying seeing a fight! And that’s entertainment for me. So I was going by the road, when I saw three goons fighting a man. I stopped and watched. I had a knife and a gun with me. But I didn’t do anything. The goons kicked him, like we see in movies, but there I was sitting and watching like a silent spectator, like the ABOVE AUDIENCE. That’s entertainment for me, why give up? At the end somebody has to lose, just like Tsonga lost to Djokovic and was heartbroken. Same here, the man was heartbroken as his purse was stolen. But there I was silently watching.
4)      Now you may argue, that that’s not right. That what I did was totally wrong! But how do you know? Maybe the goons needed money for something worth stealing? You may never know? And by the way, who taught you what is right and what is wrong? How do you know which is right and which is wrong? You can’t judge anything by your own conscience, let alone you parents. Coz, there are billions like me who will counter you, the same way  I did. IF what I did was wrong, as the man struggled with the goons, then so was the Wimbledon audience. They were also wrong. They didn’t help Tsonga win, or atleast sympathised with him. SO then what was all this? This was all a lie. The audience was a lie, they were nothing but living a lie, criticizing the loser and comforting the winner, just as I did in a way. They were all watching something which  I call wrong and the same way you can yell at me that I was wrong. So you and I are both living a lie. Neither of us know, what exactly we should do. We keep living our lives just as we are taught to. It’s just like wearing a pink t-shirt which I hate, yet I confess that, it’s good. THAT’S  utter bullshit lie, right? Ain’t it?
5)      Johanan was right, we all are in a fabricated lie. What we do, our actions, are itself a lie. For me, your actions are unexplainably lies, just as this blog to you may seem.

  1. Viento! dude, put a cap on it. relax and cool down. u seem 2 b goin out of ur mind. i dont see any sense in wat u r saying here. dont mind it. enjoying a sport is entertainment. enjoying seeing a man being robbed is voyeurism. this is not a lie bcoz its not contradictory. these r 2 different things and there is a thin line in between. u seem to b losing sight of that line. u can keep giving examples which approach closer n closer on both both sides of d line but dont forget that d line exists. its existence is guaranteed by ur sanity. if 1 goes, d oder goes too. u might ask who is 2 decide this line. y d answer is obvious, each individual for himself. that is y some ppl find horror movies entertaining while some dont. u decide wat entertains u n wat doesnt n ya, dont let other's decisions in dis regard bother u. btw, do u really think dat in a wimbledon-level international event, d guy who's losing is hating d game? is it possibl for Tsonga 2 hate d match for even a sec just bcoz he's losing? u think wid dat kind of an attitude, he'll reach wimbledon? no one in d audience must hav been enjoyin dat game as much as Tsonga did. try n understand dat n ur contradictions will vanish. d world will no more be a lie.

  2. Sense! This is sense! Coz for some, you might have not met those people that i met, those people who follow the zombie culture...try and reason this with them. There are quite a few of my friends out here.
    And that's exactly what i was writing! I am not going out of my mind! I wrote what exactly the lie is! The lie is here itself. I blogged this article. and y? Is it because i think and i will act the same way i wrote? No way, i will act what my conscience tells me and of course the thin line still exist at least for me. But what for those who enjoy seeing a fight like an entertainment, those of my friends? There are people dude, you haven't met and strangest of them, you would never even imagine. They wont and would never say that you are wrong and they are right. But there are people who enjoy seeing a fight like what i wrote above...and there are people like you all who will die to save the man and ofcourse who will like tennis as an entertainment. But look at it, Djokovic won, Tsonga lost. i didn't say that Tsonga hated it. I said, he was heartbroken, he must have wished to turn back the time just like the man being robbed who also was heartbroken and of course thought to turn back the time. ITs all the same. But views are different. What i wrote was from another person's view. People you have never met. And so for both of you people, everything looks like a lie for me...

  3. And one more thing.....What i wrote was what i thought from a person's mind, one that you have never met, strangest of its kind.....that's it.

    The last lines are mine, and my thoughts..Just look around yourself, the world is itself a lie. I contemplated a lot on that.. For me, the life you are living and the life i am living is one great lie...i don't think you will get it....but it is.....i can't explain much....

  5. In the tennis match, most of the spectators support either of the two players. However they clapped on each point regardless of the side winning the point. Why? They clapped on the skills of the player and not the player himself. When Tsonga plays a good shot, even the supporters of Djokovic should applaud the shot. Not because they are double minded but because they they recognise the shot as good. It happens in every field where gentlemen work. If Uditendu gives an answer which I couldn't give in the exam, I should appreciate him for the answer, not because I have lost confidence in myself but because it was a good answer. The audience was also definitely enjoying the game. However you must not enjoy the fight as it harms one side or the other. Fighting skills in a Judo match are applauded as the players are relatively safe and are prepared for the match. You can enjoy such a fight. However when a robber robs a person, the fight is not enjoyable as the one being robbed is weak, unprepared and may be killed. This makes the fight brutal and not enjoyable.
