What are the values that we believe in and live in?? I live my life in a way because my dad said so. I have a predictable reaction to most of the things around me because my mom said so. We had kids because it was an expected thing. You see, my great grand parents had them. My grand parents had them and my parents had them. So well, I have them too. Get the picture?
What makes us practice these values? Elder folks told us to do so. Society dictated these to them. Society said there was a difference between human beings and the rest of the other million species. So we made rules. Rules which were illogical and binding. Trapping and tripping. And we became proud of it. Somewhere we started calling this culture.
Why does the same value system not recognize harassment? Incompatibility? Why does it not focus on things like personal happiness? If each of us took the responsibility of being happy for ourselves, wont the world in general be a better place to live?? A happier place? In the whole battles of keeping others happy, each one of us is forgetting their own special greatness.
And there goes another generation down the drain.
