Avoiding Trouble.

Be the change. What would you have achieved fifty-sixty years down the line? Living in a fancy house, driving a fancy car in old age?

If one isn't living according to one's values today then one is wasting away one's life. The opportunity cost is simply too high. Its your life. All of it. Living a hundred years with your head bowed down is worse than living for just a moment with your head held high.

So why avoid trouble?

When your conscience tells you, asks you, begs you to intervene; why let the psuedo-prudence prevail?

The world has a knack of brushing away as juvenile anything that is different from the conventional way of thinking. Most great people in history would testify to that.

It boils down to following your gut always. Thats the only voice there is. Everything else is relative.

Stumbled on your blog via fb. Went through your posts and liked them especially . Nice collection of articles and poems.
Commenting on this one since this is self written. Nice post, it all depends on how long can you preserve your gut and continue listening to it in this world. :D
