On some days I put on Nepali nationalistic music like gaun gaun bata, and the rest, mostly from Balidaan the movie. And there's this strong feeling of....dunno, rage, sadness, disappointment. An anger at everything, a commitment to change things. It's not fun being a part of an unchanging, uncaring, system even if one does benefit from it. We must make progress, take steps to make sure the weakest and the poorest among us are protected. That our societies are structured to empower every single child to meet their fullest ability and desire. Why must our societies favor certain people over others based on circumstances of their birth? While yes, all of it is random, human actions and human agency exist, and we must empower human agency and driven actions to bring about positive changes in society. And for that, feudalism in all its form, corporatism, and lawlessness anarchy are our enemies.
That's what I think about listening to Nepali songs anyway. For about 24 hours. Eventually the strong emotions begin to fade out and I go back to being 'normal'.
Ahhh, the empathy is cruel, a pointlessly painful action that brings me no personal benefit.
