"Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts"
At a time like this, every single girl out there is scared to express their views. The last time I checked India was a free country and every Indian citizen was given the Freedom of Expression. But after what happened to those 2 girls in Mumbai. Are we really assured of the same?
Just in case your unsure about what i'm talking about, Click here!
It got me wondering whether we really lived in a free country. What shocked me was the audacity with which the safe keepers of our country actually treated those girls. And what shocks me even more is that certain people really supported the actions of the people who safeguards our country. After reading the comments on that particular news post, I lost every ounce of hope I had in my generation. But yet again there are exceptions to every rule! At times I wonder why we remain the Mute spectators we are, but I guess old habits die hard. Mute spectators we were and forever will remain. Every cell in my body just keeps yelling out - "Stop, There is nothing more to write!" I personally have lost my interest after reading a few comments and have decide to resume my life.
And before continuing on, I would love to share this little piece from Calvin and Hobbes-
Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humour? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
Hobbes: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
Calvin: (after a long pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.
The above was something similar to the way I felt after I read the comments on that news post. Simply stated, I as a girl would be scared to get back home from work every night if this is the case. If the people who are meant to protect us don't, then who does. Everyone has lived by the policy to each his own and I guess that implies to every sphere of life - Right from safeguarding ourselves to standing up for ourselves.
And this comes back to the basic philosophy - "When all else fails, Family prevails!"
