Society....hear me out!

-

I wanted to talk about a real topic right now.
When you hear gender equality, what comes first to mind? Equal rights for both genders and that sort. Okay, let’s say we got that. Are you sure?
Society still mocks all types; females, homosexuals included. Still the gender barrier is there, still people wrong homos, and racism? Going rampant on the streets, it is. Let me take you through the details.
1.      1. Gender barrier
Yup, it’s still there. Women are still considered weak, passive, and worse, a burden. A burden every family wants to remove through marriage to somebody. Don’t deny it. I’m sure you can see it wherever you go, not only India. Still, norms exist. Those stupid norms made by NARROW-MINDED people, I’d like to call it, still prevail. Those misconceptions nobody wants to let go of for their own greed. I ask you, what is so big a problem to not let your girl learn? And I’m talking about boyfriends who don’t let their girlfriends study, husbands preventing their wives from going to their dream jobs, families not letting their girls study because………they are girls?! They don’t NEED to study because they will eventually marry and become house-wives?!?! NAH-UH!! WOMEN ARE NOT TOOLS!!! THEY ARE HUMANS WHO HAVE THE SAME HEARTS AS ANYONE!!! I mean even I cannot believe a male teacher in my school literally said that the female gender is a cold-hearted kind, no-brainers and nothing but trouble. When people in MY SCHOOL say such things, how can I possibly think that the world has changed for the better? (By the way, school equals the society. You should know why.)
2.    2.   Homosexuality

Ellen

Alan


Now this I wanted to talk about, a long time ago.
Homos are actual humans who know what love is. So what’s the problem? Oh yes, they show interest in the same gender. But how is it a problem? “It’s different from the usual way,” “It’s against God’s will,” and blah- blah- blah. Yes, they are different. So what? Okay, the very famous and amazing comedian Ellen DeGeneres is gay. Do I hear an earthquake? No. Do I see the end of the world? No. But what do I see? Many people laughing their heads off after listening to her jokes and having a great day. I’m talking out of experience.
There’s nothing bad in being gay. It’s just people don’t understand them, mock them, judge them real hard and the person ends up in suicide, most of the time. And do you know what annoys me the most? People ASSUMING that someone is gay, just by looking at their appearance.
Why do these problems occur? Because we are too busy being occupied in our own worlds and forgetting there is a bitter reality. We are so self centered that we don’t even think of understanding people. I’d say we are too lazy to even accept different people, let alone understand. So people can’t open up and ... it’s like the poem ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’:
The caged bird stands on a grave of dreams
Don’t judge people based on their gender, sexual orientation or religion and race, because, if you were in their shoes, how would you feel? No matter what happens, even they are humans, and there is a thing called ‘humanity’ which is rotting away in a corner. What do you think you should do?

BTS Burns The Stage!

Do you know K-pop? Has it annoyed you in anyway? Well, sorry to say, I’m one of those crazy fangirls of K-pop. Actually, my interest goes out to one particular group; BTS. Why? Well, the reasons are interesting. Now, K-pop, in general, is music made in South Korea. And there are a whole lot of groups and soloists. These groups and soloists belong to certain agencies in the K-pop industry, with the famous ones being JYP, SM, YG, aka the big 3. Why do people like K-pop? 1 .  Rebellion against the status quo: Now, we, youngsters, are the type which likes to explore and gladly do, things that the previous generations haven’t and things outside the mainstream. Listening to K-pop is one of them. So, it gives a feeling of uniqueness to the young person and makes it even more special to enjoy. 2.   Group feeling: When someone says singers, usually, what’s the picture? Soloists. Yes, there are groups but what’s the majority? Exactly. But the young generation of today has a sens...

The Bear Family

Once upon a time there were four bears. The first bear's name was John. The second bear was Rosie. The third was George and the fourth was Suzy. They all lived in a happy family. They had a beautiful house. One day, when Suzy was playing with her brother, she heard a gun shooting at something. It was a hunter trying to kill an animal. The bears were afraid of hunters. Just then she heard the hunter shout "Darn it!" because he missed the target. "George, the hunter will find us. We should warn our parents", Suzy said to her brother. So, both of them ran inside the house and told their parents "Mother, Father, there is a hunter in the forest. If he finds us, he will kill us all!". Then their mother went to warn all the bears and other animals. So everyone hid in their homes and closed all the doors. John said to Rosie " Rosie, what shall we do now? We are trapped!" "Yes, he will call the other hunters and search the whole jungle", sai...

Sins, or weaknesses?

Now, I'm in no way excusing bad behaviour of any kind, nor do I intend to offend any faith or anyone who has one in any form or manner. I'm sincerely speaking from the point of view of an Atheist (by practice), who has experienced different, if not many, people throughout her 21 years of living and want to understand them including myself as a human being. This is just one opinion I have based on what I've learnt. On that note, let me begin. As someone who was raised by a religious Buddhist household (except for my dear parents, thank goodness), I have been subjected to hear the word "Karma" more than my own name, and seeing people describe it in so many versions that I had begun to question the Buddhism textbook given to us by the school. In school, I grew up hearing how talking, walking or even breathing the wrong way could land me in Hell (highly exaggerated, but you get the gist). The thing about me is, you see, I am a control freak; I despise the idea that th...
