Society = (n) Individuals

I am surprised

#1 I never expected to revive it
#2 I never expected it to last
#3 I never expected to be wanting to do this after all that's already been done

My blog, it was at death's bed when I logged on early this year. But I pumped some colour, nursed it with some editing and started bringing it back to life with some writing; better organised ones. And voila!!! It is just the way I like it now...

I was 'blog hopping' (a term relatively new to me; a newborn to this whole blogging scenario) to find possible 'brown' (Indian) people whom owned one similar to mine from the same country (excuse me; not being a racist, just trying to find some similar grounds). Some hidden gem, somewhere, whose writing skills would blow my mind off (note: should never be concluded that I am blowing my own trumpet). I found out that Malaysian Indian bloggers predominantly blog about two things, socio-political issues and photography. And I must say, from their view-points some share very biased conclusions about many socio-political turbulences in the country. I (in my own opinion-after enough reading) can safely conclude that very little have the predisposition to properly convey the actual scenario we face in this country without bias.

Many forget that individuality counts in a society.
Many pre-conclude that people can be worked as a whole; mindsets changed with mere sharing/discussing/scrutiny of the issues.
Many fail to acknowledge their own shortcomings.
Most try to fight their points across blindly.

I just wish that these people, whom try too hard, take a walk into their own minds. Delve into their own negativity, search for answers within themselves. No one person/association/party/leader can change mindsets or vehemently coerce the society into religiously following suit in their footsteps (bad or good). Change should start from an individual because we can definitely and indefinitely influence people around us to follow suit in our beliefs IF we stick to them and graciously present its positive outcomes. After all, society IS made up of individuals. Its all the rule of the six degrees of separation; one changed person leads to another. The whole chain reaction, much like those of various MLM marketing strategies (wow, for once I see that it might have some use).

It is not a matter of who's right or wrong, nor is it a matter of debating difference in opinion. Whatever opinion is it that one shares, an action must follow suit therein proving the feasibility of the notion in question. It is not just about making yourself heard because speech, more often than not, falls upon deaf ears.

Actions speak louder than words.
The wise man fully understood empty talk.
He fully comprehended the power of doing.
