Culture: Bollywood

Does our bollywood movies validate that 'my' view of the world and its creatures is the only reality, that there are no other pieces to these realities. Human beings are not linear in living so why are the movies?

Why are 'we' not ready to view 'our' own reality? Why is it so painful to see oneself as a victim or the perpetrator?
Why do we (some of us) want to get lost in the magnanimous depictions, when 'I' am not there?
Why do we choose to live in the conflict rather that resolve it?

The oozing riches/goodness and well-offness in the movies, does it reflect on direct relationship of us being sacred to face, struggle with our own reality, poverty in acceptance of our own selves, denial to know our own selves.

What is it that we keep hovering at the same point in a spiral and move away from our own selves, further away with every circle, from facing it. Why are we ready to live someone else's dream, to live in congested spaces, but walk in a trance as if this is the liberation that I always wanted.

Is it the liberation, we have been seeking?

Why does what the other have, make me aspire what they have? What is it about what 'I' have? Because 'I' am and how much ever I try 'I' will be....even if I move away from my own self.
