In the whatever path, the human civilization has been travelling since time immemorial, there is only one thing that is common. The MADNESS of the MOB.We are taking pride in ourselves that we are the most civilized animal in the world. May be it is true. But I am skeptical about that.
Life is stranger than fiction, somewhere I red. Is that so? Lets analyse. First of all, What is fiction? How is it getting created? And who creates it? It is the humans' brain that create fiction. It is purely subjective and there is no involvement of the external forces. To create a fictional story or whatever novel or anything, humans have to think. So, how big or how long one could go in this in both Good and Evil terms? There are many Good intentional stories like extra terrestrial life etc. At the same time there are many gruesome stories which are also the product of human thinking. There are many scientific inventions and at the same time there are many fantasy and fairy tales created by the human mind. So to put it in simple words, whatever people do whether it is a rational thing or a very stupid thing, everything is based on their thinking. So, thinking is the source of everything which the human race does. Is it a fair argument?
Now, lets come to the things which are done by humans while in a group (MOB). If the above argument is right, then whatever being done by the humans are based on their thinking whether they are alone or in a group. Lets take an example of the 'A Train to Pakistan' novel by Khuswant Singh.
It is based on the horrific massacres that had happened during the Partition of India and Pakistan. I still clearly remember one incident. One community Mob had separated a newly married couple and cut the Penis of Husband's and gave it to his wife as a wedding gift and the cut the breasts of of wife and gave them to her husband as his Wedding gift. Do any human in his/her right mind ever think of that when he/she is alone? The answer is definitely NO.Whatever may be the cruel person he is. This is just a random incident. There are many more horrendous and inexplicable things which were done
by humans to the fellow beings all around the history.
I am skeptical about the man who has done those evils would do the same when he is alone and even when there is a chance to do that.So why are they doing it when they are in a group? The reason I would think is that a sense of madness, absurdity arises when people are in a group
and adding to that there is no sense of individual accountability in a group. That is where the real problem lies, no sense of individual accountability.
"A worst dictator is better than a terrifying Mob".In the former, we can somewhat conclude on his devious ways but when it comes to the latter, we will never be able to figure
out the outcomes. It is only randomness that will prevail in a Mob!!!
"Monarchy is sometimes better than the absurd Anarchy".
