So I stand still like a tree, as per Acharya Shantideva's words in his chef d'oeuvre, A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, when one's, here my own, root-guru (or guru) is being groundlessly defamed by someone or more in the name of 'speaking up' or 'concern' like for 'animals' rights', 'women's rights', 'children's rights', 'sexual harassment', etc.--those catchy, attractive wordings so innocently vulnerable. But the question is can the media, so biased and sensationalism-starved by now, uphold its own principles practically as being taught academically in the stream of journalism before a luring candy (life-changing it can be but individually and worldly) posed by a sinner zeroing in on obstructing human flourishment in terms of freedom of expression, faith, gathering and determining one's own course of life? Can it be possible of living out, freely despite being just worldly, and that out of propagating just 'sensationalism' for the majority of a human mass so unfamiliar with 'ratiocinating', 'self-inspection', 'self-discovery' in this digital or internet era? I am so sure, however, those sensationalism-starved Indian media outlets are destined to burst at last out of being over-inflated, biasedly self-interested. And so, by and large, an unbiased human sense reigns ever like one's true inner sense so subtle, so unfamiliar with our being familiar with just grossness or coarseness or crude self-interests of ours.
