The Search for “Myself” : A Ripple Against Tyranny

I have been a lost soul pretty much my whole life. All this time, I kept looking for revelations about myself in fiction, reality and everything in between. It has been a wild ride keeping up with the challenges of life while also keeping an eye on what I’m turning into.

So far, all I have realized is that, I am a rebel. I cannot give up on things which everyone else have accepted as the finish line. I want to fight with the odds and go as far as possible with the little might I possess. My mind is not built to compromise with the man-made rules and bow down to them. It is instead hell-bent on making things right as much as possible.

Now don’t get me wrong. I am not delusional (or I try not to be). But I have realized the incredible power of standing up to tyranny throughout the stories spread around me and through the books I have read from clinical psychologists.

Of course, it is hard to take the first step towards making things right since all of us have been trained to “obey” anything since our childhood. However, once you take that leap of faith and stand straight against tyranny vocalizing your inner conflicts, things change in a BIG way. You start having a much higher level of self-respect and even surprise yourself with the courage you have carried inside this whole time.

You look the powerful people straight in the eye and see them cower in fear all of a sudden. Where were they hiding all this time? What were they using as their shield? Fear. It was fear. There is no power without installing fear in the minds of majority. If the majority figures it out and revolts with a calm mind, the tables turn.

That is what I have realized in my search for self so far. It has been only 2-3 months since I have dug this deep inside me. I am still trying to collect the shining bits and pieces hiding beneath the clots of clay.

Wish me luck! For my journey has only begun…
