RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON
As I was boringly surfing the channels, I saw this movie
being aired on a channel. I had seen the ‘Blue lagoon’ long back and liked it.
Curiosity is the mother all what we see around us. So I watched the movie to
the end. The message - the civilized world is full of lies and guns and hence
not worth returning to.
I am told there are some 5000 islands in the world we live
in and many of them are inhabited. In some of these islands the inhabitants are
called primitives or tribes. I believe may be they are there just as the couple
and their child in the movie, remnants of a wrecked ship, waiting for some ship
to spot them and take back to civilization. And like this couple in the movie,
they also decided to stay put.
They have their own ‘civilization’. It starts with simple
rules, some basic dos and don’ts. Nothing in is writing, just passed on from
one generation to another. The basic rules are –never tell a lie, never steal,
never kill your fellow tribal, share your exploits and so on.
How would it feel to be primitive or tribal, thousands of
miles away from the modern civilization?
