I want to know whether society is more important than human values and happiness for the self. Are we still living in ancient India? Isn’t it possible to change society? If you have any answers, please provide them as I am in urgent need of di- rection. ABC My view is that one should never let one’s sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right. If your parents have ap- peared to be liberal about these matters, they were doing so because nothing was happening to chal- lenge their stance. At the first instance of someone doing so, their facade started to crumble and so- ciety and its admonitions were held up as the rea- sons. I don’t really think that society has much to offer to anyone in real terms. People are too wrapped up in their own lives or in their rigidly held, narrow values to bother about another per- son. The only time these constraints are relaxed is when people take time out to bitch or pass moralistic judgments. The stratifica- tion of society happened several centuries ago. Creating innumerable problems in its wake. And the problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them. It needs a different level of awareness, a dif- ferent conviction and a different form of accept- ance. Above all, let us not lose sight of one simple fact. A journey of a thou- sand miles begins with a single step. If you as an
