AAL IZZ WELL

Apart from the name there is nothing idiotic about the movie, '3 IDIOTS'. In fact it will make many of us feel like idiots. The movie in a very humorous way tells us a lot about the pressures exerted on us by our parents and ourselves.

After watching the movie many students will rethink about what they love to do and change their paths. In fact there willLooking around we will rarely see someone indulged in doing things that call him. Parents still have a big say in the moulding of a child's career. The child's future is seen not with his eyes, but with those of his parents. Also to be blamed is the system itself. The world is changing so fast that there is no time to think if the path chosen is what we really want to tread. By the time we realise that the chosen path is not what we want to travel it is too late.

3 Idiots gives us a chance to rethink and relive our lives. It is an eyeopener for parents and students both. It makes an attempt to awaken students, parents, teachers and the entire education system. It makes us present to the flaws of our education system. Recently there has been news as to how it has influenced ragging and suicides. But they existed before the movie was released. The movie throws light on the consequences of our system and way of thinking.

After watching the movie many students will rethink about what they love to do and change their paths. There will be many who would wish the movie was made 3 decades back. A few may take up things they always wanted to but could not.

There has been a controversy about the movie being made from a book. Looking at the other side movies touch more people than books. I say there is nothing wrong in adapting from a good source. It should make the author feel more proud that he has touched more people than he would have thought. I would say the movie is to the book what practicals is to theory.

STUDY OF WISDOM

Philosophy we can say is nothing else but the study of wisdom and truth. We may expect that those who have spent most time in it should enjoy a greater calm and serenity of mind, a greater clearness and evidence of knowledge, and be less disturbed with doubts and difficulties than other men.

Yet, we see the illiterate bulk of mankind that use plain common sense, and governed by the dictates of nature, for the most part easy and undisturbed. To them nothing that is familiar appears unaccountable or difficult to comprehend. They do not complain of any want of evidence in their senses, and are out of all danger of becoming skeptics. But no sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow the light of a superior principle, to reason, meditate and reflect on the nature of things, a thousands doubts spring up in our minds concerning those things which before we seemed fully to comprehend.

Prejudices and errors of sense discover themselves to our view; and, endeavoring to correct these by reasons, we are insensibly drawn into paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation. Finally having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or worse, sit down in a forlorn skepticism.

The cause of this is thought to be the obscurity of things, or the natural weakness and imperfection of our understandings. Besides, the mind of man being finite, when it treats things which partake of infinity, it may run into absurdities and contradictions, out of which it is impossible to extricate itself, it being of the nature of infinite not to be comprehended by that which is finite.
