The Contemporary Abomination

rishabh

Often have we heard about demons in stories and tales, we were told not to fantasize over them as they serve evil. Being deemed as an abhorrent creatures they were continually scorned in almost every aspect, in continuation to which the religious teachings and moral stories often contained, good and evil to elucidate their teachings, most of them preaches peace and harmony amongst the fellow beings; as we grew up, we came across innumerable demons, demons in society, demons in people, in their deed, demons in mentality, demons became the ubiquitous creatures who crept right under the radar of our consciousness, and manifested themselves not exactly in people, but people did manifest themselves as the demons. we all were told to avoid, and if we chance upon them, we must remember and seek god… and every time I heard about a misdeed, I would know it’s a work of none other than demon, soon I began fathoming over them, but being unable to deduce about what drove them to such edge so as to do a deed as horrid as this, it sent chills down my spine, and frustration up my head, because people were no longer perceptive of human feelings, emotions and any other feeling that arouses a basic idea of being the same, no sooner did I learnt about justice than I had already perceived its incapacity to fulfill the heavy promises of the omnipotent hands of justice that stretched wide enough to apprehend the culprit, this sentence was soon reduced to ashes in my point of view, because there were fewer angels working for these hands of god than there were the demons disguised as angels, who when waved their magical powers did nothing but aggrandize their power in terms of wealth. The demonic acts moved me enough to imagine ways to eradicate them from the face of this world but just when I was motivated for this, the overwhelming questions, doubts and the futility of evolutionary endeavors screeched out that I am not in the right path and that it leads to nothing but abyssal misery, one that my inexperienced mind could never fathom, so I tried to write instead, write sententiously to those who can, to those who plan to, and to those who are still struggling with this ceaseless conflict ravaging their minds and robbing them of their existence, I would now like to elucidate about how I think demons have manifested themselves in our lives. A demon who is in guise of human has either been depraved by life or deprived by it, In any of the cases, a person shouldn’t be this light minded as to succumb to all those overwhelming stages of life that are capable enough to rob us of our senses, because, a human is in a constant battle with his mind and his existential circumstances, he endeavors to become perfect, but faces a defeat because of his incapacity, in these constant antagonism of life he finds himself somewhere between, pain, utter suffering and an absence of meaning in his lingering life. A life where happiness and sorrow will continue to confront , but regardless, they persist because of their tendency to seek content and happiness although their ineptitude seems to impede their strife. And last but not the least, they defenestrate the true humanity from them, this detachment leads to the very foundation that shoulders and provides the buoyancy his inner demon needs to overcome its drowning.

To abridge this topic, I have hypothesize their morphing--- ‘demons’ are but an incorporeal entity who exist, or again, believed to exist in human world because of humans’ erratic and unfathomable wont and undiscovered feelings that can never be discerned by any sort of research, because of their subtle and unnoticeable changes. they are constantly undergoing some insidious and some constructive changes in the contour and shape of their mentality, in the end, the one that emerges victorious dominates the being. Humans are controlled, manipulated, persuaded, dissuaded, and influenced easily under a greater thrust, their mind instantly grasps everything they perceive or want to perceive and tries to comprehend it to the fullest, and in the presence of rivaling conception chooses the one that satiates their desire to understand it, the stronger the force, the higher will be its impact. The feelings that thrusts a person to become a certain kind of demon are, a mental breakdown, avarice, overwhelming dejection, hatred, malice, envy, frustration, wickedness that is born as a result of above mentioned feelings, despair, fear, suffering and agony. This isn’t any scary aisle of feelings but a possible inducement that might arouse their dormant demon.

In the end, he doesn’t actually wants to become evil but mistakes it for happiness that he has craved. the life doesn’t gets fairer, you have to be forged in the burning flames of misery to become the scythe that cuts through it.
