Insecurity

Why do human beings always feel the need to categorise? Categorise people by wealth, cast, creed, race, position, sexual orientation, achievements, religion, skin tone etc. etc.

8^th of March being set aside to celebrate women internationally, made me wonder; how women are categorised and what about women is actually celebrated?

We do still talk about equal rights, but does that mean treating a pregnant lady any less, does that mean letting a lady lift something heavy while a gentleman twice as stronger watches her struggle? However lame this may sound equal rights is the excuse many a person seems to be full of.

Hello? That is not equal rights! That is disrespect! We should respect another human being, be it man or woman!

Wikipedia defines Respect as “… a positive feeling of esteem for a person or entity. Respect should not be confused with tolerance, since tolerance doesn't necessarily imply any positive feeling.”

Why is it so hard to respect another as much as you expect to be respected?

Why is that another’s appearance bother you so much that you have to comment on it, as long as he/she is clean, kempt and decent?
Why is it that you feel a divorcee does not have the same right to fall in love and marry again?

Why is it that you consider two humans who aren't a man and a woman; falling in love, a disease/disorder or abnormality?

Why is it that you argue about your Religion being the one with the right teachings when all Religions only talk about good?

Why is it that you have the urge to draw negative attention to the differences of others and treat them with low or no respect just because she/he is not like you? Who authorized you with this power of discrimination?

Human beings are beautiful, intelligent, nurturing, smart creatures and are meant to be unique!

“INSECURITY”; is the only word for an answer that I leave you with to ponder over.

PS : Kudos to you who understand and respect!
