I don't agree with what I had to say on identity last year. This evolution is real. I find that the passage of time and space does change me. This sense of change challenges me to accept that only reality which exists in our world is change. Those, who try to arrest change also may find their change in approach of arresting truth, and encaging realities. The biggest challenges, which knock at our doors, are not about becoming a perfect person or perfect entity. Nothing, in fact, is perfect, or everything is perfect in its imperfection, in its transition. But to remain with the flow, with the current and change, to appreciate the change without having any desire of perfection is the best method to appreciate life. Only a process of change is life, whether it improves or deteriorates the life energy. I find transition everywhere, in plants, animals, rocks, dust, humans, etc. Everything is a marvellous piece of writing, written as a destination in teleological sense may not be necessarily true, it may be written by perspiring zeal. Our 'will to life', to refer Arthur Schopenhour, is the life energy, which is simply transforming. Nothing new is written. Everything is processed for a higher existence. Our every action, every word, or every gesture is a unique piece of grammar, which isn't a copy of something else, or it can't be copied. It will change for the sake of life. It does change, in fact, but it never dies. I don't write for the sake of immutable truth. In fact, none is immutable. I write because my writing is a fragment of life-energy. What I write is not necessarily true. What is true is judged by perspective. William Blake is in agreement when he says, "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite" (Huxley, The Doors of Perception). Writing is necessary not for the sake of truth, not for the sake of knowledge or power. Writing is existential. Through, this medium of communication, life energy is unleashed and becomes a apart of the whole creation, which is, in fact, not fixed but expanding.
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
