A Dumb Important Idea

Every-time i read the hitchikers guide to the galaxy i get weird ideas, sometimes they are so out of this world that if i by any chance try to convey it, you will definitely become vulnerable to all kinds of mental disorders and if you  ponder over a longer period of time on the same stale idea there's always a possibility of you having to book your place in the mental asylum. No therapy,no medicine nothing will come to your help, the only way to come back to sanity is to dwell deep into the same idea which sent you there in the first place and discover in that idea something which no one has ever discovered before,something sane,something rational,something not worth causing insanity.Resting on your bed in the asylum staring at the ever creaking ceiling fan and thinking on the idea you will soon find that person resting next to your bed is also staring at the same ceiling fan(assuming your are disposed off in a public asylum having only one ceiling fan serving 10-15 beds) which is an indication that even he is thinking over the same idea and soon you notice not only your neighbour but the entire ward is staring at the ceiling fan!.

Now time to convey the idea,but before that-
READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!. THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL IS MEANT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY AND AGREE THAT THEIR MENTAL STATE IS MATURE ENOUGH TO GRASP IT'S CONTENTS WITHOUT HAVING ANY SIDE EFFECT ON THEIR BRAINS.ON OCCURRENCE OF ANY UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS THE AUTHOR OF THIS BLOG HEREBY EXPRESSES THAT HE WILL IN NO WAY BE RESPONSIBLE AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY PROSECUTION LAID ON BY THE AFFECTED READER.

Here's the idea-
What is one thing common among all the wrongdoers,the corrupt politicians and the terror mongers?They all strive hard to gain importance.To corrupt politicians achieving money and power is the way of gaining importance cause once you have that people respect you,people consider you important.To the terrorist creating massive bomb blast with maximum possible casualty is the way of achieving importance ,once they do that they are not only revered in their own jihadi circles but feared by rest of the world and in some cases they also get the honuor of having their name listed in TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.So the root of all problem is this desire of gaining importance.
What if remove this desire from them once n for all.
How to do that?the answer is TOTAL PERSPECTIVE VORTEX (TPV), TPV is mentioned in the hitchikers guide to galaxy-part2.Its main function or rather intention is to make you feel small,make you feel unimportant.
Installed inside a huge metallic dome a person entering the TPV comes out crying and cursing himself for either entering the TPV or being in category of person who cry out loud in TPV or many times both.
Regarding the category of persons who cry out loud in the TPV are those who think they are very important like some mentioned above(corrupt,wrongdoers etc.).
No, TPV does not hurt them instead it shows them,it shows them an entire visual of the universe in one frame and in one corner they see a small arrow pointed at a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot with a text beside it "YOU ARE HERE" on seeing which they feel aloof n unimportant in this vast universe.All their deeds they had done or should have done to achieve importance all suddenly become like a piece of cake!.Again,this happens to only those who have the utmost desire of becoming something important.
Idea of TPV is great what's greater is that TPV should be used as a mode of punishment for all the wrongdoers.This will also keep the human rights folks happy.
But there's a big problem, a massive problem ,a problem which has the potential of making this entire article unimportant-TPV hasn't been invented yet!!!

A lesson learnt...

I am totally, utterly and bitterly confused,which book should i read???now reading 'the firm' nice book but the usual hollywood plot-a smart hero helping the fbi tryin' to take over a mafia.Although it's a fast paced,hold on to nerve kind of experience read but the problem with this kind of genre is that after u fifnish readin half the book u begin to wonder ,why am i reading this?Aren't the books there to enhance ur intellectual thinking(sounds too orthodox),this is exactly the thought that came to my mind when i finished reading more than half the book.Having no motivation(motivation?u don't need motivation to watch tv) i stopped reading it when the plot had got actually interesting, never mind i said n thought of reading a book which scholars read(what a stupid thought!).With this thought in my mind i went to bookstore n purchased 'The dialogues of Plato', a book on philosophy(philosophy n me! think about it n i'm sure that will be the end of ur thinking process).Ok, so i purchased it,went home,read it n closed it(200 rs wasted).My brief encounters with plato's teaching might not have taught me anything about philosophy but it taught me never ever deal with anything which is outside the realm of your understanding.Anyways i'm back reading 'the firm' n enjoying it.So long to all the philosophical kind of stuff n the 'intellectual' thinking that book enhances, for me reading is only n will always be about pleasure.
