When I joined BALLB, I was apprehensive about what awaited me. I was not very sure if I was making a right choice, as there were more opinions than experiences; more suggesters than well-wishers. From then on, I always thought of one thing, 'lets try and be among the few who are different.' I am not sure if I have been able to be so, but I do know that I have sincerely tried to be different.
The one barrier that I always faced was appreciation of being different. I am not sure if all my readers will agree with me, but uniqueness is not always welcomed. Most of the time, redundancy is celebrated because it is safe, not because it is good. A system in place from ages quivers to adopt to change, just because that system is so used to an old dogmatic ancient practice, that change is a word missing from its dictionary.
I am sure if my reader is a science student, then he will disagree, but what about humanities? Since I am an illiterate as far as science goes, I will not venture into the unknown. However, I am not sure how humanities have become so behind in the race to change.
In the study of law, one best example is 'legal language.' Not today, but maybe from a few decades, everyone has been saying, and they keep on saying that legal language is so complicated. I disagree when they comment about acts and statutes, because the complex language is necessity and not choice. However, I do not understand when it comes to pleadings or conveyancing documents. I do not understand why an old ancient form of language is adopted till date in these matters, when the rest of the world in most other fields has moved on.
Change is something that should not only be encouraged, but also made compulsory. the most important reason behind it is that the one and only thing that is ever constant in this world in change, and hence if one faces away from it, they are the biggest fools...
