Compare & Contrast

For me there exist only two spheres of survival - 1. what i commonly associate with the americas with where the air is filled with politics, race, depressive suicidal teenagers, obese people, technological advancements, inattentive doctors, mcdonalds, student massacres, nursing homes, also referred to as 'assisted living' for the sanity of many, coffee machines, fox news, and the abundance of availability. contrasted then with 2. which i refer to as the easterners where everything is about love, emotion, relationship, drama, more tears than laughter, obnoxious yet very enjoyable songs such as 'dil dance maare' and 'dakku daddy', filmi talent rising from every household, hot bods, days always counting down to the release of some bollywood film, the strict use of hinglish, conversational content more about film stars less about your own family, the oggling over female figures with disregard to the male race and continuously finding fault in every action of another but not ourselves.

Each has its good and bad - the right thing to say of course. But i honestly and truly believe that even the bad of world 2 out ways the goods of world 1. Undoubtedly you would live a fictitious life in world 2 but at least that will give you more reasons to smile than cry. It sorta boils down to the whole population theories of an individualistic society verses a society in actuality. But lets take another step backward - the word society originates from the french and latin which both translate it to companionship or the friendly association with others. This would hold true in world 2. You would find happiness in the happiness of others and would mourn in unity as well. But in world 1, one would live in the same neighborhood with 10 other people for 50 years and still go to their grave lonely.

But the real question is..can world 1 and world 2 coexist...i think not. You cannot make a sunset with blues and blacks, and you cannot make a moonlit night with yellows and reds...they each have their own characteristics and the more you try to mix the colors together, the further away they get from their own. And with this thought, a bollywood songs springs into my head..." khoye khoye chand ki firak mein, talash mein udas hai dil"...clearly indicating my world in me.
