Defiance

Defiance: Meaning in simple terms to go against. It may sound rebellious at the first instance. But it may be just the opposite, it may mean trying to find a way to live. It might also mean, trying to uphold the truth.
Just the other day I came across an article mentioning about the iranian regime. Not really barbaric, but a little short is where i would place them. The methods no less closed, dictatorial than the nazi and the facist regimes. Undoubtedly, the people would have to fight, there would have to be defiance. It may be aggresive in nature, or simply for survival. There have to be leaders. May be of the beliskie cadre, or some other. People have to raise their voice against what they feel is incorrect. If not them, it would benefit the rest. If not today, tomorrow it would bring light into the lives of the many remaining. Undoubtedly, it calls for a lot more. It calls not only for the sacrifices of the people involved, but also of a sane mind who would be able to take charge, take care and be there when the group needs him.
Be it the lady in iran, or the jewish lads who warded off the german troops. It always took and would for every reason take a lot more than simple courage to defy.
But then, hasnt it always been the case. Take the case of Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela.
It is probably God's way of guiding the right and differentiating the right from wrong. However powerful, nasty and ugly the wrong may be, they finally have to meet an end. A sad and sorry end. No fraudster, gangster or a corrupt politician seen a happy ending story. If even one was lucky, he surely left a sad trail behind him for his epitaph.

Last, but never the least the entire meaning of the word defiance has changed for me thanks to the movie.
Owe it to whoever gave me this one :)
