PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS

HA! Gotcha! Now that you're reading this, I know that you are human. There is something amusing about basic human nature. Humans are characterized by making mistakes, making emotional decisions and going against other humans. So let's talk about you.Yes YOU, my dear reader! Pay attention.

 Now that you have come here, you have been labelled as an 'anarchist'(not to be confused with 'Antichrist'). I didn't label you as such, but society did so. Anarchy is a term which the dictionary defines as a state of disorder due to absence of a ruler/government. I don't believe in the dictionary, there is more to anarchy than that. Anarchy is not going by the rule book as I have "unintentionally" demonstrated it in my previous lines by not following dictionary meaning. Consequently, if you are an anarchist, you will not listen to me.

I am an anarchist myself. I am independent and go against what the society tends to do. I have my own ideals and principles which cannot be changed by others. Anyone who challenges the latter will be gone against. They will always have someone going against them because going 'for' them is too mainstream. Although it may seem a little too paradoxical if one anarchist goes against his/her own ideals. Well, that is too confusing for me to think so just skip to the next paragraph because it will divert your mind from the above paradox.

So here is the change in subject as promised. It is established that anarchy is basic human nature. So it can be used to differentiate between humans and machines since nowadays, humans and machines blend together so well that even humans start behaving like machines. Anyway, I have done a few anarchist things myself. Some of the events have shattered the very foundations of authority. Of course I will not tell you about it because I won't (want?)let out any job description of my secret job.

Screw it. I will narrate one incident because I don't have any more ideas to continue this post and I want to make it 'look' "big". Rewind to twelfth grade where we were supposed to give our farewell assembly and perform in front of the whole school. We prepared a parody play of different teachers and also a parody about all the stuff we did in school. Our Umbridge-like principal didn't approve of it. She felt it was uninspiring but her intention was to enforce her newly-found power and kill free speech by censorship. In the following two hours, she edited our script and made it boring. She instructed us to perform the edited script and threatened us with consequences if we didn't. As expected my anarchist batch-mates performed the original script along with lots of impromptu improvisations and the audience were splits(not to be taken literally). The teachers loved it, students laughed about it and we were suddenly the most popular batch in history of our school. Our very own "High inquisitor" madam Umbridge was helpless and just let it go. We regarded it as a victory.

The above is one of the many events in my life when my anarchist side came to the fore. I am not an activist, I am a freelancer. Whenever it is required, I can become an anarchist. I am like a virus, always dormant until it finds a suitable host. After the host graciously invites the virus, it clings to them and destroys them from the inside. Here, I can be compared to the virus and the host can be any form of authority which is not doing a good job.

I don't know how to conclude this post so I will just leave it without doing it. Just to test you how much of an anarchist you are, I request you NOT to comment below.
