One of the fellows has asked me if the violence is the state of nature in which we humans are often indulged in with passion and poisonous zeal? For what purpose? To destroy what exists and to whisper on for an uncertain future to come? Why so much violence are witnessed in deeds and thoughts of one of the most rationale beings on the planet? If it has something to do with the essence, the nature of man, which is violent in a way? If our sense of peace is terminal, ad-hoc, residuary? Whether chaos reigns as the ruling emperor to the cosmos, including us, within and beyond us what Arthur Schopenhauer once claimed? Why are we so passionate to destroy the existing order, institutions, societal bond? Is it 'will to life' or 'will to power'?The love for all too chaos, like a Joker of Gotham city wishes for, to achieve what? For utopia, for dream, for wishful desire of power, for name, for fame, for richness, for ugliness? These set of questions come out in the middle of baffling mind, who is afraid to tread, fearful to live. For our ignorance could be blamed for fear what we sometimes inculcate without judging the situation in reality. Man has no perfect essence, no perfect nature, no perfect picture! Man is what it does. Sometimes harmonious, few times magnanimous, sometimes romantic, few times detached. You can't find one single answer. Violence and peace coexists in every possible domain of our live. And to rely upon the master narrator Steven Pinker, The better angels of our nature shows us that we have progressed from the situation of wild beast to the civilisation. Our sense of punishment has witnessed transformation, our commitment for the protection of humans in our state of society has strengthened without iota of doubt. Pessimistic approach to human nature won't solve the problem but it definitely aggravates it. Violence is aberration, peace is the order of the day. Society exists in peace but with certain aberration when the passion of the humans emanate into tragedy for our collective conscience of society. There is no essence of our society, it is simply the reflection of our projections, our will, our dream, our feeling. Life has everything what we may conceive or imagine. Only beyond imagination the dark matter pervades which haunts back often through passions and cries of ego!
Aristotle once wrote in his Nicomachean Ethics that there are four significant virtues for human beings, namely Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Courage. There are a few judges who have courage and sense of justice, both. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rohinton Nariman has been truly an exemplar judge and erudite historian, theologian and philologist, a great scholar of music as well as a courageous and meticulous jurist of our country. He did his Master of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1980-81 and taught by one of the finest jurists of the last century, Roberto Unger. He became Senior Advocate in 1993 in the age of 37 and also served as Solicitor General of India in 2011 before he was elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court of India in 2014. He delivered many landmark judgments, including Shreya Singhal v. Union of India. There are a few people with whom time moves too fast, but to count that experience takes ages. Justice Rohinton Nariman is one of those great jurists with whom a meet
