After a long time, I got my enthusiasm back again for writing something. I may or may not impress you guys with my writing. But I feel sometimes it's good to write and share what is in your mind rather than chewing it and keeping it up to you.
I watched a show with a social cause today and it took a topic "Discrimination based on Caste" and it made me think, is this the only type of discrimination we face or see?
So here is my realization about us i.e. about humans (as we claim). We live in a world with a constant discrimination in the name of post, power, gender, money, nationality and looks and offcourse caste.
Now what sort of discrimination I am talking about?
* A stupid statement from a celebrity or a famous person goes viral on internet and forums and the wisest statement from a common person goes unnoticed. A celebrity or famous person gets priority in each and every place he goes and also gets harassed sometimes for a very small issue. That's discrimination based on power, post or fame.
* In this world, though we preach peace, love, brotherhood but the ultimate truth is MONEY is what everybody wants and aims for. Nobody cares or has time to think about anything else. Everybody wants to earn as much as possible for well being of themselves, if not for them atleast for their children's and coming generations. The person with money gets priority and can buy a lot of happiness. You might disagree but it's true to an extent and yes, it's an irony but a truth that money talks louder than anything else in the world. So there is a big discrimination based on money.
* There is no individual in this world who is less competent or lacks dignity or has no character or is cheap or threat to you or society, if he/she belongs to a particular community or nation. But most of us may have heard or have experienced such discrimination. Forms of discrimination may defer but truth is, it is everywhere in the world.
* A person with a good looks will always be good in character and behavior, that is what everybody believes. Everybody looks at a street dog with so much hatred but a dog is loved as a pet. Leave about dog's but nobody looks at a child begging in the street and says "awww so cute" or hugs him/her but may try to avoid and run away from them. So in this world looks and attire matters more than heart and soul.
* Though every nation and person is talking about Women rights and giving equality to women but deep inside everybody discriminates based on gender. And yes by everybody I mean women's too. Even women discriminate based on gender. Same women who talks about women rights becomes biased or restrictive towards her girl child. Same person who feels disgusted when somebody bad mouths his mother, wife, sister, daughter or girl friend, feels free to give bad remarks or comment on any other women not related to him.
So my point is, if we are thinking about elimination of discrimination from this world we have to target all sorts of discrimination and not just caste or gender or so on. That will truly make this world a better place. And then only we will become HUMANS (and that too not claimed but a deserved one).
I am not a big star or celebrity, or a philospher who can influence masses, but if even a single person feels motivated and takes a step out of what I outlined here, I will feel obliged. To some it might look as my idiocity, to some it will look like an effort to look good infront of everybody, but my only intention is to speak my mind and motivate myself and atleast few who will read it.
I would like to conclude my post with a great thought
