Growth Demands Change

why is it so difficult for us all to accept the change life brings along?
Some paths I used to think I would never walk on

Some streams I used to think I would never flow down

Standing at this point,

Thinking through all the thoughts I used to think,

Laughing on my own naïve and tenacity,

Telling myself! Change is inevitable part of life.

The only thing that is constant in the course of nature is change.

Then why is it so difficult for us all to accept the change life brings along?
Our beliefs!! Our experiences!!
Our beliefs!! Our experiences!! Our tendency to hold on to things and people we love and admire and probably our very own comfort zone that we are so reluctant to move out of.

Right from our childhood, the period of development of the beliefs, we are conditioned to see, think, feel in a certain way.

A child is taught even some gender-specific behaviors. “You are a boy, don’t cry like a girl”. Who are we to decide that a boy, a male is not allowed to feel and cry? Who are we to decide that he should not express his true feelings about a person and a situation?

Likewise, girls are told that they have to live their lives as per the wishes of the males in her life, be it her father, brother, or husband because she is carrying the so-called and ever so-fragile RESPECT of those mighty males in her life, since they are not strong enough to keep their own respect untainted, so, ironically they need a TIMID and WEAK female to protect it for them.

Why can’t we just see a human for its capabilities, potential and skills, irrespective of the gender, color, caste, race?
Why can’t we just see a human for its capabilities, potential and skills, irrespective of the gender, color, caste, race?

Why can’t we just accept and respect some natural differences between both the genders and not make them a basis of discrimination and human iniquity?

Besides, we must remember that a soul does not have any gender. It is just a soul and so there should not be any discrimination based on that.
