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.
8th 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!
