We all want to be free, liberated and not bound by any rule or regulation. There is varying level of independence in each country and society, but one can be assured that the level of ‘freeness’ has increased over last few years/ decades around the world. Many things have moved from the societal arena to personal arena. Issues which were important on societal level are now being dealt at personal level & any interference by society is not welcome. & we all relish the thought of being free birds.
But really what is the difference between a human society and animal kingdom? Is it not the same laws, social rules & bonds? Take these out of our system and will we not be thrown back to the dark ages?
There is a very important law in Physics – Law of Entropy (also known as II law of thermodynamics). In simple words, this law states that everything in this universe will keep trying to achieve the state of complete randomness & will not stop till that state has been reached. This state will be of complete chaos.
On similar lines, if we continue on the path of liberation, would we also achieve the state of complete randomness/chaos? Let me take an example (Example taken is just for the sake of argument)
“Supporters of homosexuality claim that nobody has the right to comment on what goes inside the bedroom of two consenting adults. In that case, if some consenting adults, hundreds of miles away from any kind of flora, fauna or humans (so that they are not in a position to do any harm to anybody), decide to build a nuclear bomb in their bedroom, should we react or not?”
But we have already seen the other extreme as well, e.g. Taliban, Shri Ram Sene etc. This is the other side of the coin, another dark age.
So if both the extremes are dangerous, where do we draw the line & who draws that line? Or do we even realize that we need to draw a line?
Is it making any sense or is it just adding to incoherent babbling?

I guess comparing one's sexual preference with the urge to make a devastating atom bomb is a bit going too far for finding similarity.
One is a sexual preference which he/she has no control over and cannot change. And to be fair its not affecting other people's lives.
If on the other hand, someone is producing some thing which all people know is harmful to mankind, people should stop it. Same with Global Warming, same with pollution.
But of course what happens is whatever the superior ones think as right!
Nice thought though!
