A conundrum .

Is it right to be a derivative holding a visage that looks promising and prominent when we go through our every day life, while our actual existence, our own thought process, who we are , what we think ,what are our way of doing things and what is our understanding of the whole gets under the veneer of what we actually reflect.

Let us first understand what does being a derivative means. It means to be derived, the source being something else, a fruit is a derivative of tree (off course of their respective nature) ,while you are derived from that source and that source makes up much of what we think.How much we understand is totally a different concept but what we think is totally derivative.
Since the time we open our eyes ,we are taught, rules ,regulation ,the way we have to conduct ourselves,right from wrong, good from bad, various juxtapositions to lead the life which our parents ,our teachers thought to be the best way of getting through in life, in the exact way that their parents and teachers taught them.
