Ideals are brutal things -2.
--
Ignorant or intellectual, stupidity is either crude or polished, and the insidious fear, doubt, hope, envy, jealousy, violence, despair, say 'arrogance' keeps lurking underneath the cloak of humility.
When intellectual, this shows up in the form of politeness, just another name for politics, which feigns to consider the interests of people at large but even if it talks of a group of people, it divides them as ‘we’ and ‘they’. Made of many fragments that have few common interests and few in contradiction. So the society remains divided in many ways. Thus with reference to ‘my’ religion there is a group of people who practice a different religion from other such group. With reference to ‘my’ language, culture, ethnicity, beliefs, nationality, traditions, there are many such groups and ‘I’ as an individual am always a split person with reference to ‘my’ people. Politics and politicians gain disadvantage of ‘my’ situation and profit by keeping me ignorantly or arrogantly stupid.
Idea and ideas generate both kinds of stupidity. Ideals are but the artistic presentation of those stupid ideas.
True humility could not be learnt, taught, cultivated nor practiced.
True humility is observed when ‘I’ see the whole gamut of ‘idea’, ideology and ‘thought’. It need not be stressed that in matters of purely physical, scientific or technical matters ‘idea’, ‘thought’ have their respective role but when we deal with the tremendous ‘life’, ‘idea’, ‘thought’ become a block in understanding, obstruct the vision.
