I’m tired of listening to the
incredible aspects of my country...I’m tired of defending the traditional customs
and rituals that actually make no sense...I’m tired of convincing myself that I’m
living in the best possible society of all eras...
Eg. Touching feet and folding
hands in Namaste
To pay my respect to someone why
do I need to belittle myself??? As far as I know there is no law of
conservation of greatness mandating it for one to be disgraced in order to
confer higher honours on another person.
Folding hands and touching feet
are both signs of begging for mercy. Yet our culture demands that we greet
every one with a Namaste and express our reverence by touching feet of the
elderly.
What am I apologizing for? For
my existence???
What am I seeking forgiveness
for? For being myself???
This is a direct reflection of the meek and unsure mindset of this land. Always suffering from low esteem this society resorts to flattery and self-humiliation to express respect.
In our hypocritical society you
can get away with any crime as long as you have obtained the approvals from society.
Murder is a crime but you can kill people brutally if society choose to declare a war. Sleeping with a total stranger in an arranged marriage makes perfect sense in this society but it vehemently condemns consensual premarital sex on grounds of vulgarity.
Think of any random crime that you want to commit...convince this stupid, gullible and judgemental society about its necessity and I'm sure you'd be lauded for committing the crime.
Again a reflection of how much interfering our society can get. It is confused to the core and cannot tell right from wrong but it has to impose its confused opinions on the lives of people. Freedom is a word that this society has never understood and if things continue to be like this we too would never get a chance to know the meaning of the word.
It's sickening to see how this society passes off its morbid whims in the name of Puritanism.

It’s even more sickening to see
how proud it is about its self certified enriched culture and how happily it chooses
to deride people who break the convention.
