Conscience over Nonsense

By Abhijit Naskar

"Conscience is not a dead constant, it is a living, breathing, ever-evolving force of progress – a force of upliftment."

Humans are biologically a biased species. And these biases have grown so strong in the so-called civilized psyche, that they have torn the world apart into pieces and have made the humans develop either implicit or explicit prejudice against each other due to petty little differences. In this terrible situation, infested with misunderstanding, prejudices and biases, the celebrated humanitarian Neuroscientist Abhijit Naskar rises as a friend to humanity, on the side of all the peace-loving humans of the world, with a bold humanitarian journey of conscience, in an attempt to strengthen the fundamental character of acceptance in the heart of humanity.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

Awake, Perceive and Act

Perception is the beginning of all realization and actualization of possibilities. What you can perceive in your mind, even if it appears to be the most unreasonable thing to all other humans, can be made an actual reality, if you give all your powers to make it so. All realities are born from the individual mind. The only thing that stands between dreams and reality is persistence. Keep learning and be persistent, and in time all great things shall kiss your feet.

And don't regret not having fun like rest of the humanity, because rest of the humanity simply exists to survive a lifetime, but you, my dear soldier, are not an ordinary human with conditioned desires. You are an original human with the real apparently unreasonable desire to bring actual change in the world and for that you need to go beyond what people consider normal. You need to step into the uncharted territory of unfathomable madness.

Be mad - be drunk - be obsessed, not for a guru, messiah, doctrine or ideology, but for an idea - a novel, original idea with the potential for doing good in the world. The very progress of our species is predicated on this madness of yours. The world is filled with sane, normal, ordinary human beings, but they rarely are at the forefront of progress, for they lack vision - they lack courage and above all, they lack the utter sense of responsibility towards the world. Are you responsible enough to break yourself for the good of the world, that is the real question! If you are, then and then only there is hope for real, genuine wellbeing of humanity.

Mind you, my would-be patriot, the progress of an entire species is predicated on the bold and conscientious footsteps of yours. Let the echo of your footsteps spark a ray of hope in the heart of the hopeless and appear as help to the helpless. Be the candle that burns alone in darkness so that the world around can have some light.

Here some may wonder, why should one give a damn about all this in the first place! Well, to them I say – okay, don’t give a damn – enjoy – enjoy your life at its fullest, like everyone else – and in the end you shall be offering your kids a world full of confusions, discriminations, hatred and neurotic conformities. If this sounds okay to you, then, by all means, continue living your life as second-hand creatures with second-hand thoughts and desires. But mind you, once you are aged and frail, then no matter how much you crave to bring a real change in your society, your body will not allow you to do so. So, the choice is yours. Choose, here and now – right at this very moment, when I am talking to you. There is no more time to waste. We have wasted enough time on pompous nonsense. Now is the time to be serious and think seriously of
