Evolution - people, circumstances, the world, right, wrong, good, bad, ugly everything has evolved from what it was centuries ago, but we still hold on to principles that are either outdated or came into practice at the very beginning ! Move on!
Religion; your God, my God, and our God, leave this with in your four walls of the house, do not carry it along and see the world through this lens. Your faith, belief, prayer and all things holy is intrinsic in nature. Once you set foot on to the world outside, we all are equals one and the same. However, if there is discrimination, bias, violence anything in the name of religion; it is important that we as humans stand up and make noise so that it is rendered powerless or simply non-issue. Remember humanity, it is the only thing that stands tall. Sounds idealistic. By products of religion or the human minds – caste; isn’t it the ugliest manifestation of our deep desires to maintain power, authority or control over our fellow humans. Those who have access to knowledge or information, stay not in that equilibrium, but stir things up, shake the ground, let the skeletons tumble out, put it out in the open, do not keep your eyes wide shut; let the rage flow into a light. Hold it up so none can miss its brightness. Let this swell up, until the time; those so called higher state of beings (read it has caste fanatics) begin to melt in the heat of this brightness and realize their true power or sense of worth. How do we do this? You, he, she, I and we and all together begin to create transparency in our souls and bring the daemons out of the closet. If all religions preach love, peace, brotherhood, equality , heaven and many more things all same and one -humanity; why then we mortals deliberately construe principles against humanity. Every religion has its own ruthless doctrine, rituals, and customs – Abolish! Scrap! Undo! Abandon! Annihilate!
Society forgets that their primal purpose above all this is to foster a sense of peace, equality, to nurture humanity and a sense of togetherness. But instead promote division, discrimination, and many cruel and brutal things. We all still remain silent. We continue to adhere to all its brutality, we refrain to be transparent, refrain from seeing or removing or identifying the many generations of unhealthy ideologies. We live a comfortably blind folded numb life. There are many humans who do not wish to follow; sometimes they rise, stand, win or fall fighting, some remain silent, some express etc. I belong to this ‘some’, who take conscious efforts, real actions to see it in the eye, try to their will’s end and beyond to stem the filth out of the system. In case you want to know, I have many such comrades.
Marriage is the way forward in life; completes your life…. If you don’t conform then you are labeled a rebel, and many more names. Symbols of a marriage are only for a woman; another way to tie her down, a reminder that she is a property, an object owned by her better half. These symbols that the society holds close to its heart, remains a mere lifeless object with no sense of purpose nor does it evoke any kind of positive feeling, does not evoke love or a sense of equality. These symbols are given utmost priority, placed a step above trust, love, equality, respect, and to put in a nutshell - you. Why do these preservers of society or culture forget that we all grow up with a mind of our own, we all develop our own set of feelings and emotions, that every individual has a right live or choose their own path? Can a person's right to enter matrimony be solely their own will, not forced by externalities. Can a human being choose to be single? If one chooses this path; the first finger almost certainly is pointed towards parents; telling them that they have failed in fulfilling this responsibility and they are accused of bad parenting etc.You are accused of crossing the line, flouting, disruptive behavior, and being obstinate. In reality you are just letting yourself develop your own sense of purpose or simple life. No, do not expect someone else to set your life pattern. This someone can be your parents, your relatives and the many mortals.
Sex, put in simple terms is a need and it’s not taboo. We attach many prefixes and suffixes to it; and take it forward and equate it with sacredness, chastity, purity, the divine, virginity etc. We make sex a finite task to be done after union in holy matrimony. Holy is attached to things/issues or just about anything either to make it simple or complex. All it should take is consent between two adults. If one has pre-marital sex; they are called characterless, with no sense of righteousness. In this context or scheme of things where does child sexual abuse/rape etc figure? What do you tell a victim of rape/abuse that its fine to be subjected to this pain, but you should know that it happens to anyone or just about anyone. You need to carry on with life, still believing that sex is sacred, and can occur only with in the institution of a marriage. Add the gender-bender here; men by nature’s law can have multiple partners and not be associated with virginity; but for a woman, her soul motive or reason or purpose is bringing purity, being a virgin, and many more titles. Endless, we (me too) are all hypocrites. We never actually understand our sexuality. We are taught not to understand and not to explore. We are programmed to abstain from knowing and experiencing this need in its true sense. Free yourselves if you wish from this vicious design.
After all you truly belong to yourself!!! Have fun. Know thy self.

Profound thoughts. All of which I agree to. But reality is different.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? Men and the society in general don't really understand that woman can be independent thinking and woman need their personal space. And the worse thing is most woman after marriage, behave exactly in the way the society behaves.Not allowing their daughters to think on their own, teach / preach the so called moral societal values and definitely not talking about the so called taboo stuff.
ReplyDelete@lalitha- Reality is not different - we all act indifferent !!!! we need to change - all of us....
