Here I am quite puzzled with news creeping in.
I was a mute spectator in shares.
I earned around 25000 in shares and lost 75000
I was quite nervous when I gained and was quite relieved when I lost and got out of the bus once for all.
I was nervous because I was sure that I earn in a matka/ gamble
No where I was seeing a very strong foundation of Indian economy.
I am one of those RATS who leave the sinking boat.
I left rural India when it was and is sinking.
I was very very nervous when I saw that idiotic glee in all around me in cities when they were earning in shares.
and how they looked at me when I tried to object.
a sort of a look you give to a person out of his mind.
I could read only greed in those eyes.
Money which is not earned by labor - physical or mental, I shivered.
All our MBA and IITans happily engaged in this new finance management institutes.
I wondered what they are doing in gambling houses?
Making use of intelligence to hunt some share where the gamble will be of financial help?
Money flowed like a invisible Satanic hand and no one knew from where it comes and to where it goes?
And when the news comes that investor has lost millions I wonder where the millions have gone?
I mean if every one has lost and none has gained where the money had gone?
Or was it not there but an illusion?
I do not know.
I know one thing.
we all have lost not money but balance.
we have become ourselves Phantom Gods.
we want to control our lives
we want to believe that we are Gods.
Since Nietzsche declared that God is dead we started searching for God, we tried in technology, in ideology and in hedonism, we did not find.
Now we ourselves have become Gods.
And we had got that magical illusion of heaven here on the earth.
we have detached ourselves in to a cocooned jail of self deceiving selfishness.
Share market is our nervous system
Now we are helpless.
our values as beings have eroded
our wisdom has evaporated,
there will be new pundits I am sure because we do not want to be helpless fools.
we will devise some more cocoons of so called wise-ness, so called financial instruments.
we will like to cheat ourselves, that is our breathing air.
psychologists will tell us how it is important to pamper our egos.
never we shall feel inadequate they will declare
we can become madly egoistic but never accept the guilt
it is a sin to accept guilt
its OK if I feel little madish.
Do we?
Let wise men rule again
we cherish that thought of being in safe hands again
will we be safe again?
I am fearful in this glittering world of molls, cars, credit cards, pubs, colleges and schools.
millions of eyes are around me, with a hatred in their eyes because they don't have all these things.
they want it all and that to without having to labor physically and intellectually.
If wise men and women of the earth can have it all without any labor why cant they?
and if not,
they can also have illusions too
may be not of increasing wealth with rising shares
may be illusions of a martyr!
and wise men have evolved technology too.
after all if life itself is an illusion, well, why not take away?
If there is no absolute truth and every one is God UN to himself or herself what is good and what is bad if not relative?
I shiver not because of terrorists but I am more fearful of intellectuals now a days
I have seen that glee in those eyes when shares were growing
I do see that madish wish to take control when the shares are crashing.
I shiver
I am really fearful of all these wise men and women!
May God deliver me out of these wise peoples hands I pray
