Amitabh Bachchan FB 2291 An opinion from my Ef Su Knowing something is not a reason for indifference I ll give you a few examples I say I saw Amitabh Bachchan near Bandra railway station Other person says Oh ok I know Amitabh Bachchan I change the topic I say I have read a nice story by Tagore yesterday Other person says Oh ok I know Tagore I change the topic I say There was a terror attack in Kashmir Other person says Oh ok I heard about it I change the topic And many many such The moment you say something the other person brushes it aside with I know And I change the topic Four reasons why I change the topic 1 The person may be indifferent to the topic 2 The person is too weak to feel anything 3 Each person need not have an opinion The third one is not easily understood Having an opinion without assessing is like punishing a thief to protect the right to show off Opinions become such laws eventually But the most important reason why I change the topic is because I think those who become indifferent after knowing something do not deserve to know what I feel about it Also my feelings need not be important to them And obviously they never are A feeling is not an opinion It is an unassessed reaction An instinct Why should anyone indulge in somebody else s instincts Each person has a personal set of instincts to mind And above all If I know something then I am never indifferent I have always taken pride in knowing Knowing something is not a reason for indifference That is a sign of indifference to self esteem And sharing knowledge is a choice it does not mean indifference
