Hello There
I hope you
are fine today.
The world
has progressed from whatever state it was because, to be honest, I do not
believe in the Big Bang theory as belief more in facts than Chimera or fantasy.
We are aware
of the repetitive story of human evolution; I am not going to bore you by
ranting on the same thing.
Think of
this word equality, what are those vibes coming up in your brain? I asked this
to some of my friends and family,
interestingly they came up with, the need to treat people equally,
gender bias, inequality, the power of unity and most of them used this word
unity.
So in the
beginning, when humans were still making sense of this oasis in the universe
called earth, we were just hunters, gathers until slowly we became intellectual
and this world is now called "civilized?"
Hmm…. So let
me think what do we mean by civilized, can we call it cultured, refined,
urbane?
I want to
talk about three crucial aspects today,
One: what is true civilization or to be truly
civilized.
Two: The bias mindset of homo sapiens.
Three: the need for equality.
The need for equality.
Well people
say this is an era of open-minded people, free-living, easy going are some of
the jargons, but I feel everything is not as transparent as it looks, because I
am a realist I see what is going on in people’s lives, they are stuck on a lone
cantilevers because they are not treated as same as others, and are not
accepted in society for whatever reasons this "civilized" society
thinks is logical!
For
instance, in the Oscar award winning movie joker, the director has tried to
illustrate how a social outcast turns into a negative person and become a
sadist! Is society not partly responsible? Think there may be so many people
still fighting for their equality while we are enjoying ours!
The bias Mindset.
Chauvinism
and feminism are related words, and there is a lot of bias that goes hand in
hand with these two words. They are related to the opposite sexes pointing
fingers each other and trying to prove one is superior to the other, where are
we heading do you think this is the right direction? Come on, men can't
tolerate women and women can’t tolerate men? So we never moved on.
Men and women are at fault here, and I think
it is just slowing the progress of the world by draining energies into parallel
warehouses of hatred towards each other.
The dream of true civilization.
You might
have heard this before, but I think it makes sense and it may be real,
individual sections in the society are living differently than you and me, how
are they different? They are leading lives with bare minimum of resources, with
no clean water to drink just following their survival instincts, do you think
they understand the words like religion, gender bias, definitely not because
they are living on a simple value system which helps them socialize with anyone
and everyone who will help them to survive the sunset and allow them to see the
next sunrise, I appreciate their value system more than the sophisticated ones
which we are trapped in!
The essence
of progress is the root of a society not at the tremendous economic standards
of that domicile, even though a country is known to the world by these economic
factors, the grass-root level reveals how happy a commoner in that country is?
The day he has his smile on his face that is the dream of true civilization.
The essence
is also the omission of trivial inequalities like gender wars, religious wars, discrimination of all kind and addition of simplicity, joyfulness purity in
the name of humanity and nothing else.
Men and
women should acknowledge each other's weaknesses and complement each other and
work as a team which is the first step towards civilization.
Look back at the path you took when you have reached your destination, you will be the first to know
if you have progressed.
Thanks for
your time, Have a great day ahead.
Helios.

Hi Harish,
I have a different view on the equality need. Hopefully we are in the transition phase where the men domninated in earlier stages but now women are growing up to their levels and proving they are equal to everyone. But still in few places their feminism exists and that one we can't change it. Hope our country should provide more equality when compared to other countries.we should be keep on improving neither denying at any stages.
Very good thoughts Harish !! Live and let live is what I believe in .. and I also believe everyone should be respected for thier views and ways of life.. hope everyone gets the courage to live life in thier way and not give up just to be what society believes is civilised, of course with no intention to harm.
Thanks a lot for your valuable comments Dinesh
Totally agree with you , instead of pushing the balance on either side we must look at complementing each other and progressing in life.
Hello Archana
You read my mind ,that is when we can call it a society otherwise it is just a world of meaningless comparison.!
Its good that feminism and chauvinism both are well written about . We have a long way to go to become civilized
Thanks a lot for your comment Vibhuti.Yes I agree we have along way to go.
