The value of Dignity

The value of education seems to appear too weak in front of the dominance of capital. All the fact and reality pertaining to our dignity and virtue look valueless in comparison to the power of position. Everything that was there in our text book in school now feels so impractical when it faces the power of indignity that it imparts a new lesson to us about life. The difference between, what we were taught and what is reality makes it literally impossible to reconcile them in any condition. The virtue which we have regarded so long as the power of common people, it now turned out to be the opposite. Our honesty is invariably crumbled while it comes in contact with the power of indignity today.

Everything looks so artificial and unfamiliar that it demands us to adapt to a new system so long which we deemed as the path of dishonesty. It makes me feel so vulnerable today that I fancy go back to the past and reinstall a new belief system in me. That new believe system build upon indignity would lead me towards future without any possibility of being confined by the internal disparity of mine. There shall be no more chances for me to combat the indignity anymore, as it would also be a part of mine just like many. But, practically it is impossible to rewind to my childhood days and makes thing according to my wish.

Thus, I admit defeat every day to the power of indignity and still find comfort amid the mist of disparity. My conflict seems to be revolving now all around me as I no longer trace any ray of hope to change the surroundings. And hence, my battle goes on to rebuild my own self. The process is indeed tough, the virtue and dignity that I bore so long with me perhaps are quite reluctant to leave my company now and let me instill the power of dishonesty in me. I still hope that there will come a day when the power of dignity would outgrow the power of indignity and likewise, it would usher civilization towards a better future.

  1. I think this is beyond the scope of my udnertanding and authority to say anything about this piece. the more I say. the less would accrue to its justification. However, all this mothead can understand is that it's a deep personal account of your presence state of mind and apparently its bothering you no end. Your evocative language spells " power of indignity" you needn't tell say more about since we are treated to an incessant diet of incongruous mudslinging and gratuitous abuses. Then you try to project a picture of grim situation of today , rightly so and you bring the school education at variance with reality today, must say a million people are of the same opinion. However, it's quite lively to see a remorse Avijit trying to go back in time and correct "at least wish to" what is wronged today but soon realizes its inefficacy and retreats to logic and a game of pity. Then a rather sad thing happens when he admits discomfiture and vows not to change the world around him but to change himself so he can walk shoulder to shoulder with a corrupt and decrepit world, I can clearly assume what's going on in your mind. But he's not willing to part with his dignity and virtue which have been his good and steady companions all this while. " let me instill power of dishonesty in me" is the winning line of all that you've written so far and far surpasses any bit of piece I've heard so far slight king teetering on the vituos and pious side. And the author concludes by invoking a hope from heaven that everything will return to its base normal and ultinatelt goodness will reverberate in the valley. To me its one of the most astounding reads ever, can't get enough of this, this one will take longer to sink in.
