The Line of Thought

Oh!I have a lot to say or should I say a lot to think. I have been stopping myself from doing so, for the fear of being judged or fear of not being logical or the fear of not being in line with what the masses think or not being in line with the intellectuals. Is it just me or may be you too have the same fears, and why just you, perhaps everyone. I am writing this post in great haste because very soon I will fall in line!(Do come back to this line when you read the last line. Not Now!) And then writing this post would be very difficult.

I will tell you the few things I thought about which dragged me into this mental dilemma. But before that I will tell you the feelings that couples with it. You feel being pushed by a strong current of water down the stream(Never, had this feeling, but sounds about right). Or let me give you a different example, like appreciating a movie because the critics sang wonders about it. Or being forced to snatch the beauty of abstractness from a feeling just because some logical fellow wants the pillar of logic supporting it. I will not say I felt each bit of it but I thought and was forced to think more.

 Let me begin then, firstly I feel I don't have logic for everything, and most of those are the things I feel. Now that I think about it, I don't need to. And not just me, you would have felt in different moments that few things need not have logic. The movies you see, the novels you read, the people you like need not have a column of reasons attached to them. Feelings need not be defended by logic.
Second and perhaps the most dominating factor is the novel "The Fountainhead" by Ayan Rand. I finished reading it recently. It was a good read, maybe one of the best I have read. Out of many one important inference the novel made was that of individualism over collectivism. Ayan Rand's complex explanation got me confused or to say I didn't relate to it. I can agree to individualism being effective or noble and even better than collectivism but I didn't agree on the point where collectivism was rubbished. Let me steer back the ship for I am not writing this to discuss this issue but the fact, that it is not always mandatory to fall in line or not always fall from it either, not to always believe what others believe or not to always have wayward beliefs. Life has always been a mix, even for those pillars of society who appeared rigid. A bit of flexibility has always given man the rightful breath needed.
So don't be tough on yourself, it is fine to fall out of line once in a while, and if you are a firm believer of doing things differently, it is okay to be in line for a change(Now you can go back to that line!).
