Warm UP!!!!

Listening to classical music in a comfortable chair and in an air conditioned room writing this post, many ideas cross my mind.

Why is it that even after 61 years of independence our country still finds the classes still very alive in society.. even though not legally evident,culturally and socially they are quite evident.

Like The Mahatma once said " education empowered me to fight for my nation". Why was it that this great person had the desire that every human being or rather every Indian should have equal right to liberty just as anyone in else in the world? We should think about this very seriously.Even in those days people were very selfish and cruel and probably very dogmatic, but they had a very credible excuse in their favour--- They were uneducated.
Examining the character of Akbar reminds us that it is not exactly Education that is required to reform people to become practical,broad minded and kind but it is good will that needs to be inculcated in youngsters.

That in itself is no easy job.. for one the environment that teenagers grow up in is highly hostile and unless they put on a inhumane or rather less than humane face they would be treated like outcasts.
A long list of social taboos play their parts in driving young adults to build up their mental frame work to be narrow minded. Why is it that parents hesitate to talk to their children about sex , sexual acts and why do people make masturbation a taboo... Scientific research says masturbation is good for health.What logic do people associate with all these taboos??

Lets talk about human origins. We still don't know how it began.Whether we came from another planet or whether indeed we did evolve from apes or whether it something totally different. It will always remain a mystery to us. However let us take the theory that we came from the monkeys.. now for the monkeys there is no right and wrong.. they do what they feel like and do so because of hormones.. Now what is the probability that monkeys born to the same mother will not mate. I know for certain that it most definitely is not zero, and hence it brings us to a important point that we all originated from incest.. monkey incest to be slightly more decent.This brings us to the truth that these taboos were set long before by the society because it had its scientific reasons to back it up.Mating with other offspring in the family is known to cause severe genetic disorders in children. This is the precise reason why people should marry outside their community.
Certain taboos were imposed by religious institutions and they instilled fear among the people for what?? -- to have the one thing that every man craves for POWER.POWER over what one does , over what one thinks , over what one is allowed to think and the most dreadful-POWER OVER ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.Many issues need to be addressed and the reason why people hesitate in spite of knowing that it is time for them to act is because it would involve a total make over of ideas, concepts and lessons they have learnt or even clearing their head and starting afresh.....

I leave u to quiz yourself on what fronts there needs to be a change in modern day society.. And as for me this was just a warm up for me to write about different topics i think about.. that's why its called a blog ain't it? :)
