Last few days upto the New Years the papers were
full of news on Murder, Rape, Injustice, War, Calamities... it becomes very
difficult to give 'Baba' or Hallucinatory'' Talks... Karisa have you been
Sm*king... Well! no!
Like others, I can post news clips or join and sign
petitions and stand and hold candles in the Vigil... There is so much I want to
do but I am far away from the situation... and the moment.
All I can do is Prayer my small prayer and hold on
to the ever lasting Hope of a Change in this World.
{Imagine this the time there are people shedding
tears for a lose of a loved one... there are others shedding tears for the
birth of some}
Just a few days ago I came across a blog last night
called The Lost Art of Self Preservation
(for Women). In a sidebar statement, the writer (Grerp), a librarian and
stay-at-home-mom writes:
"The
Truth: Life isn't fair. Being alive doesn't entitle you to anything. Women are
ensuring their own downfall with their selfish behavior and short-term outlook.
Men are bigger than women, stronger than women, and more violent than women.
For the past half century our legal system has acted outside their interest,
and men have taken the vast share of economic hits in this most recent
recession. A backlash is coming. The pendelum is starting to swing back. What
are you going to do to prepare for it?"
I found this negative and overly demeaning...
While all have taken the toll of recession in our day to day life... and most
particularly when I read about the comments given by prominent members of the
political parties or Self acclaimed God Men! There is only one thought
that jumps to my mind ..while the world is progressing forwards i think some
sections from my side of town where hidden in a world hole and it just skipped
a few generations the amount of illiterate, unjustified, over the top and plain
'Are you Stupid' and "what the H*ll escaped from your mouth'.
I think we are programmed to self -preserve since
birth... its contradicting sometimes... we are taught that Hatred and injustice
is caused by difference in religion or color or caste and silently we ignore
that as a girl you are dependent and you cannot live on! and be yourself! not
to sound feminist but can you as a women walk free in the middle of the night?
no! can you wear shorts just cause you want them to? or should you think twice
as to what picture are you protraying and are you going to attract unwanted
attention to your self?
So say this is western influence. I say if I was
Eve and had a choice of wear Red! leaf to cover myself than the usual green to
look and feel good. rather than just so that ADAM can notice me... then Adam
can go F*ck himself!
I am not Blaming anybody MEN or WOMEN.
Period.
We are all to blame for our own mistakes. You made
your bed now lie in it. RAPE! Murder! is Wrong. You did it You pay for it!
This is where our system comes into picture while
we are now vigorously working on new rules and fast track what not. These are
welcomed, a society is ever evolving and I for one am all for giving it a
chance and raising my hand up! if it pinches me.
In my country our culture is founded on oppression
and especially for women majority of them come from a patriarchal society
where ... we are numb to what is being said or done. but now I see an awakening
thank you to social media... this brings to light all the thing that have been
sitting comfortably in the closet... all the mouths that have been shut seal
due to hopelessness... its better to raise your hand now and shout help! than
wait till the waves runth over and this phase is over.
Time Flies... and in this age and time people get
bored and move on... from I gotta feeling to gimme everything tonight and
landing on Gangnum Style... Stupid! Stupider! to Stupidiest!
Welcome 2013
I learned much about attachment and aversion,
excitement to highest high and lowest low and how everything is perfect, things
happen for a reason, the universe imposes some beautiful order on our
existence.
I held all these beliefs before, but now I look at
them differently, more clearly than I did previously. I've found that to be
true of many things in my life: through many eyes I can see how hopelessly and
bitterly hatred shaped my world, how love could change everything. How it does
change everything. How I can change my everything through love and open mind.
Circle of Life.
Sadly, we are not born with manuals then how
technical life would be! but we make our life as we go.. with the choices we
make and the path be create for ourselves some out of clear focus and choice
and some just happen.
