Third World Theatrics

What are you? Are you your lineage? Your family? Your society? Your region? Your state? Your country? Or are you your education? Or the literature, art and pop culture you have consumed throughout your life. One thing is sure that you are unique. What should be art created for? There are two prominent reasons, political and aesthetic. I do not create art for political reasons, I create it for aesthetic reasons. But all art is political, especially in a totalitarian setting, which it is. You speak truth and it becomes political. Truth has a tendency to become political because we are surrounded by lies. I'm fond of comic book style writing. That a story has, heroes, villains, technology and magic and yes, sometimes superpowers. I liked to write such stories once upon a time when I didn't know that the world is a play, a play with very real stakes for everyone except a few. There is no magic in the world. If magic was real it would have been accessible to all without discrimination which isn't the case. Social interactions are fuelled by money and power and money and power are fuelled by each other. I have only one political belief, that everyone deserves happiness or at least satisfaction and contentment. But that's a big thing to ask in a world like this where individuals in control derive their pleasure from the deprivation, rape and torture of whom they control, they derive sadistic pleasure from pain of others which they inflict on them. They create tragedies in the lives of others and then give it the name of fate or destiny. I say this because I have complete idea of the directness of the control. You grow up become aware of the world and you choose your corner. You are silently sitting in your corner doing your work, following your bliss and these motherfuckers who have no business with you start stabbing you with spears. The reason for it being nothing except malignant fun derived from pain and discomfort of others. You had an idea that this country is like this, but you had to learn that this country is like this at the highest and deepest level. These kind of things don't intimidate me, never have, though it's disappointing that extortionists and rapists are at a place where God should reside in this country. I observed the drama for a whole decade, and I realised that your social and family background only becomes important when it has to, and if it does have no doubt in your mind that all of it is due to political reasons. The system, the actual system that controls the visible system is designed for rape and exploitation. The very design itself is rape and exploitation. This system masquerades being a providence but it is not, it's actually an animal farm which runs on pain and suffering of people. There is no great beyond here. Just here and now. Everyone counts their blessings and saves their ass despite being exploited and that's how things keep moving forward and one by one we see the people who count their blessings and save their ass getting slaughtered and the intelligent ones know that their time too will come and till then they must count their blessings and save their ass. In my case it's not fear, it's just disappointment at the quality of individuals who are sitting at the place of God, and their incompetence. What am I? I'm my lineage, my family, my society, my region, my state, my country, my education, the literature, art and pop culture that I have consumed. But then I'm not only this.
