I have mentioned in my previous blogs that I write out of passion. I might not be the best in this field but I know that I am better than a few out there.
After one of my previous blogs was published, I was contacted by many friends and acquaintances who appreciated my writing and guts. Most of them had gone through or were going through the same pain that I went through. The only difference was that they could not voice their opinion. I was thrashed left, right and centre for pointing out a few facts out of my life. I was also told to stop writing as "people" might have a wrong impression about me and my family background.
I was amazed. We still live in a society which is so reluctant to broaden their thoughts.
There are some people who do not want to change their attitude but they also do not want "people" to know what they actually are like. I am necessarily not talking about anyone from my family per se. I am putting out this point on a general note. We all are looking for girls with a good educational background whom we cannot permit to work. We require them as maids from outside need to be paid. (Hit the like button if you got my point here).
We really need to change our outlooks otherwise marriages will no longer look like they were made in heaven. The stigma of differencing between males and females whether it is for our sons or daughters needs to be completely eradicated. Why can't we voice our opinions like your daughters do? Our we not somebody's daughters too?
Times have changed, but we are still those fickle-minded lot of people who do not have our own views and opinions. We still judge people according to their looks, dressing and status symbol.
Simplicity is no longer the best form of sophistication.
Sad, yet true!
