People wearing tattoos today are looked at differently. All my grandparents had one. My grandfather had an ear piercing too. Some decades back, it was fashionable and everyone wore it so it was accepted easily. Do anything unlike people around you and be prepared for some raising eyebrows.
Royal and common men and women in the Mughal and some other eras dressed almost as much and almost in the same style for years and no one questioned !..Today, men with slightly feminine tastes are looked at with suspicion.
Sex education was vital part of our existence historically. It was beautifully represented in temples. Temples were not just places of worshipping narrow thoughts rather taboos and gods (that seem to be biased the way they are represented by many supposedly knowledgeable gurus today)… they were knowledge places....they were common places of social meetings and growing together as human beings....today we discuss it with ridicule. Not that it was all positive and perfect then either but at least there seemed to be more transparency and clarity of thought and approach.
All’s our own creation. It was our creation yesterday, so it is today and it will always be.
All has happened...
There has been prominence of both male and female gods in India. They have been considered equal and have been represented to have equal and even more power…and here we are fighting again for women’s rights…
Why do we keep going round-round over the same issues...and address them as they are new…may be because they are the same issues but in different scenarios…the cycle seems to have become never ending...or may be it shouldn’t end…it should just gradually transform into a new improved cycle…
Violence always existed,,is felt today…and will always exist…
There was love always.. is experienced today..and so will it be always…
The group mechanism or mass mechanism in time creates whatever is...all kinds of people existed yesterday and will always exist. They all contribute to the existential system in there own way. They are all needed and need to be appreciated equally.
Human beings have always had a few needs and they always will…
Nothing was ever wrong with the world, nothing will ever be…
Nothing was ever right in this world and nothing will be..
It has always been a complex mix of negative and positive..so will it be always..
It’s this yin-yang that keeps us and our brains busy…what will happen if we have nothing to think about or complain about…it can be highly elating or highly depressing…
Whatever is…is may be good…all we need to do is to keep the inner world positive..it doesn’t ensure that everything will be positive…but it works as light in all situations...light is hope..hope is god…
It’s all in the mind…all that I am writing here is a creation of my mind…connecting the various nodes of whatever little knowledge I have…so can it be with everyone...and each one can draw a different map…which can be true to their understanding…MY GOD the more I think…the more I think that there’s nothing to think about…it is, what it is!!...all we can do is make it more worthwhile..
We are just little somethings here for a little journey…existence offers it all…catch all the light….but don’t overlook the negative either…they coexist harmoniously…birth and death are both realities…not just in terms of our physical existence but for everything in existence…move on and cherish it….
