Belief in Idealism

1. I love a film showing the extremum of idealism and nobility, for it shows the fundamental nature of the human mind to be able to imagine and soar to the heights of idealism and strive for it. It makes a statement that...this is how I want the world to be... It makes you feel good that not only in thought, but in action, some people like this do exist. It tells you what to strive for in your heart, in people and in a society...

2. I hate seeing a film showing the extremum of idealism and nobility, since the world is not made this way, it is ironic to show such a world, it is making mockery of all those suffering with the basic problems of life... It is sad, it is like making fun of the human race, it is sad since we know the world is not like this and there is a long way to go to construct such a world by 'purushaarth'... One wants this dream to live in eyes of each human being, each one in the creation, and till the dream lives and fulfil in and every each eye, it is incomplete, painful and calls for a need to repair.

PS: I watched Vivah yesterday. I thank Barjatiyas for celebrating goodness, simplicity and Indianness. They have come a long way from Dosti to Vivah. We need Vivah, but we also need Dosti... We need to know what to strive for, but we need to also know how it is ... Please give us Dosti again...
