When Meryl Streep spoke at the Golden Globes Award, the 1st World along with the people who aspires to live like the 1st world, listened.
She wasn’t the first big name to openly come out and speak against Trump. Sure, she didn’t had to take his name. People not on the “right” side lamented as to why the “celebrities” cannot do the same in India as well ?
Among a whole other things it is the inconvenience which stops them from being honest in their opinions.
People didn’t leave Aamir Khan when he carelessly mentioned something his wife said. People even “expressed” their thoughts when Om Puri died because he had said something which they didn’t agreed with.
I’m not trying to say, looking at these incidents, they should stop or even start speaking up. At the end, it is their right to.
After all, they are people too. I’ve stopped writing about politics because it is an inconvenience. Inconvenience to argue and debate and waste time, while I can indulge in something productive.
In the last 10 days, I’ve added 10 different posts at this time of the night before the clock strikes 12. Had they been anything related to political viewpoints, I would have spent 10X more time on Facebook, which is the least I want.
On a lot of levels, I feel it was good that the so called Liberal Left as well as the complacent non-right or center (whatever you call it) got a big jolt, around the world. Sure, it’s not correct and this shouldn’t have happened. But, isn’t a dark night required, before another Dawn ?
Meanwhile, do watch Meryl Streep speak, if you haven’t!
