Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense.

Disturbed.......

Had a very disturbing dream yesterday.Got up in the morning with a very perplexed mind.Heres what I dreamt of:
" A terrorist under Indian custody somehow managed to escape and reached his home town in some other country.He wandered through the streets trying his best not to reveal his true identity.With much difficulty he reached home and found out that his parents were tourtured and humiliated by the govt authorities and asked not to shelter him in case he returns.But his dad decided to protect him and hid him somewhere in the house.Meanwhile the extremist group to which he belongs sent 3 men to stay in his house and get hold of him in case he gets back home after his escape.They did not realise that he too was hidden in the same house while they stayed there.
But fate flipped things upside down.The men got information about his presence in the house and they tourtured his parents.He was witnesing all of this from the roof of the house where he hid himself,but was helpless and could not react.The men brutally raped his little sister and this fired his blood.He came down and shot dead all the terrorists.
He was once the footman of the very same group to which these men belonged.He killed people for them,he had himself arrested and beaten up for them and yet they offered no protection to him or his family.Theirs was just a use and throw theory."
My dream ended there but my thoughts had just started to begin.A man who propagated terror became an anti-terrorist himself and went against the group and ideologies which were once his life and blood.It was only when he witnessed his family being tortured that he realised the pain and loss caused to millions of other families due to activities of anti-social elements like him,what an irony.I donno why I had such a dream but whatsoever,it was disturbing and intelectually statiating at the same time.
