Freedom and control

 I am against resorting to riots at the DROP of an hat and anarchy operating under the mask of dissent and/or freedom of expression.

However, having said that, there must be at least some room for expressing differences of opinions and disagreements in some dignified manner. There must be reasonable amount of freedom as well as restraint with well defined rule of law. 

Such a  balanced way of social life is neither an unachievable utopia nor a far fetched idealism but an ideal environment with certain amount of flexibility and room for debates, discussions, deliberations. Otherwise, any over controlled society is a potential dynamite waiting to explode anytime. 

Similarly, an anarchic society with excessive freedom  like India for every schemes there will be multiple scheming waiting to derail will delay implementation of well meaning programs. 

How much of freedom is too much or is enough cannot be easily measured, as there are no scientific yardstick to measure it. 

It cannot be a case of free for all mute spineless spectatorship from the rulers/ administrators or selective curbing as it is in India, US of A , or some countries of Europe or a highly state monitored stifling systems like Singapore or a strangulating and smothering life as in China. 

This type heroism is possible in a small country, sorry,  glorified mall with animals and birds allowed to live only in designated places, in a country which boasts of its great  rules and discipline for everyone but harbours biggest drug and arms traffic taking official tax from them, in a country which controls the population proportion of Chinese, Singaporeans( read citizens from all neighbouring countries) and Indians, in a country where real freedom hardly exists and even where it may exist most people are ensured not to have enough time to even think or talk about freedom, a country where people lead a life with comforts but not necessarily comfortable with their living style, a country where 80% of the population spends 80+% of their life time working to make a living.
