Just a breathing space away from the world we live in ... a lazy look at the world... and the theater of life.... sometimes cynical...sometimes in wonder

Aaall is weeelllllllll
An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. (wikipedia) And we are not supposed to be idiots, at least when you have a degree below your belt or wherever you are supposed to tuck your degrees in. That laminated piece of paper justifies the semblance of intelligence that we ought to have, or to be more specific , people think we have. The funnier part comes next. That same scroll of papyrus also gives us the right to be foolish at times, but , alas that be represented as some esoteric thought , so profound , that it appears to be mere foolish at the first glance. The same sheet (pun intended) gives the unfair advantage to the owner to be boorish but go ahead unscathed appearing to be witty. Luckily, some people still retain the nuances of english grammer to name a film - Three Idiots.

Catch me if you can
It's sad - the games we play. We know the DNAs that make up a person and then pray that they would behave differently. Sorry, God said - your mutation powers are limited, negligible to be precise.And pray, how do you plan to clear the muck accumulated from the surroundings . It's in layers a compost material that is now part of the DNA structure. It hardly matters that with a little education or dollops of dollars , the DNA would wake up and say - "Hey I need to behave cultured !!!" That's a pipe dream. So in the same landscape, the same actors play the same roles, mouthing the same dialogues with the same conviction or lack of it. Originality lies in wondering about the probabilities of some other behavior getting generated. But trust God - he has synchronized the behavioral settings when the toddler first stood up for no reason at all. So, it is the same old story - enacted with neither skill nor finesse , but the exactness achieved from bored consistency.
