Chance took me to the most breath taking site Coimbatore can boost of, Marudamalai whose beauty is overlooked by most. Rain was in the air as we ascended the mountain and the sight was indeed awesome. It was my friend's idea to go there as he had a great liking for the place and we had nothing better to do. Though being an atheist he likes to enjoy the aesthetics of the temples and wanted to go in, I chose to stand out.
Standing there I figured the reason that had baffled me for long.Not long back when the Anna Hazare fiasco was going on I was surprised to see so many people fighting against themselves, it was not first time I had failed to understand the contradicting behavior of people. On that cloudy day analyzing the reason why I was standing out ,realization dawned that they were doing exactly what I was doing then.
Contradicting the apathetic views held thus far I was standing out because I was taught not to go inside temple after having non-veg. I was practicing pseudo reality, deep down to maintain order and sanity I was strongly inclined to believe god exists. It could be the same thing the protesters were doing ,they chose to believe they were corrupt by force and not by choice, probably It helped them to maintain their sanity.
