Left Right Neutral

Most think being 'Neutral' is a good thing. Some think it means criticising all sides equally, being non partisan,  impartial, non discriminatory.  But practically, it isn’t. It mostly means you criticize all sides, allparties,  stakeholders,  without achieving anything ever.

Not all sides are equally deserving of criticism and a balancing act is purely absurd!

 In politics and in life, you often don’t have a clear great option. You simply choose the better one, or the least undesirable one.

The only way you reach anywhere, is by choosing a path / personal code of ethical preference and pursuing it until you get there. But,  if you’re trying to be neutral, you are fighting against your own self at different points of time. If so,  then you’re usually being useless!

Please don’t be neutral. Fight for what’s right! It’s the neutral majority because of whom Nazi concentration camps, racial/caste discrimination and most evils in the world could prosper!

At least don’t be proud of neutrality, see it for what it is - disinterest, and often fear......

  1. Well written and thoughtful too. When a certain opinion is formed in heart and rules the mind.. It should be spoken for. Rather than getting into pleasing and image conscious.
