An agenda

Arun Jaitley has a problem that the media is working with an agenda. However, I think anybody with an agenda cannot accuse the other of having an agenda.
It is a must to have one, as a person. And so when many persons come together, we can safely assume that there is more than one agenda. That, I agree Mr Jaitley, is a problem. The problem is there is always more than one agenda floating about, all trying to get the better of the other. What we fail to see in this chaos is that there is only agenda at the end of it all. So one is and the other is not or the other is and one is not.
To be able to understand when one is not and the other is, is the toughest thing for one to do.
Which is why we almost never get to the stage where the other and one are one.
This problem began for us humans the moment there were two. At the basic level, man-woman. Imagine being born with one thought, being fed thoughts from morning to night, for years. Where do you start untwining this cord that originated at the birth, forget about much much before that?
Today I started with Arun Jaitley's statement, just on a whim.



untwine me from the mass / Of deeds which make up life, one deed / Power shall fall
short in or exceed.
