Hey everyone I'm back with my next blog. Hope it makes you reflect and act.
The picture I have sketched says most of what I want to reflect on. As a human I have felt a lot of times chained by a lot of things happening around us. These chains are not mere restrictions but a way to stop you from being who you are. They are good and bad depending on the situations we face.
This topic is gender neutral and has no intentions of hurting anyone in anyway.
Society, Personal Life, Career and Family all sums up to the freedom we wish, respect we pretend to be giving, choices against our own will and the responsibility we take.
The freedom we wish from all the aspects of life doesn't seem to ever come because there is some more always on the way. If we demand for more freedom of choices, we are tagged rebellious or different. Unfortunately, it isn't. It is just that some people don't want to accept the change.
Everyone is unique and different in their own way. Then, how is it that making a different choice making me even more different than others?
We are constantly pushed to adjust and behave according to what people say, think or do. But no one thinks that these adjustments and behaviours began because someone stood out to bring in the change. When we can accept those changes gradually then why are we reluctant to do the same for ourselves. None can happen if you don't believe in yourself.
Career was part and parcel of life before, but now that is another aspect we fight for. The choices and changes we make are difficult but achievable. Yet, there is still lack of people standing by you. People do come wearing their masks of, "I'm so happy for you", "I knew you would do it" or the most annoying sentence "It's just your luck". Common people whom are we telling a lie, to others or ourselves? Stop pretending to accept when you absolutely don't.
How many people do we respect on daily basis?
Few? Rest we pretend, don't we? As I see life, respect is always earned. If someone is doing anything non-acceptable, irrespective of their age, gender or relationship, they don't deserve respect. Yet, we are forced to obey because suddenly our behaviours become unacceptable. There are a few who stand up but alone. Some over the years accept whatever comes their way and remain caged for life.
Why are we so chained and caged with all of these obligations when we can chose not to?
It isn't about cultural, religious or family acceptance, but how we as humans want to withstand and free ourselves.
Everyone talks about change the society or the generational thinking, but its about individual how you want to change or bring in the change. Stop pretending and start accepting yourselves not for anyone but yourself. We have people around to make our world more happier place not to design our life or choices.
Ending on a lighter note, we see birds enjoying the higher they fly, but we fail to notice the hurdles they face. But, yet they fly higher with more determination because its their choice. The choice to fly higher and even to set their feet on the ground. They stay in a group but also wander around individually because they believe in themselves. :)
