Stereotypes!!
It's a funny word, but i think its time to take it more seriously.
Stereotypes are gossips about the world which force us to prejudge people even before laying an eye on them. Its a kinda PREJUDGMENT!
Well, i don't intend to hurt anyone with the content of this post, but felt the need to erase of some misconceptions...
So, a day before yesterday someone asked me what good qualities i've, just because i don't visit temples and consume alcohol once in a blue moon. More than a surprise, it came as a shock to me, because the person who asked this to me was none other than a very good friend of mine who knows every thing about me or maybe, i thought he knew me, but it was never so...
The questions which suddenly crawled my mind were, a girl consuming alcohol or the one who smokes once in a while, but is true to herself and her friends considered unrespectable in society? If a girl doesn't go to temples, but silently prays for the well-being of her loved ones considered ungraceful? And if she live her life on her own accords, but is conscious about humanity and loves and respects poor then is she discourteous? On the contrary, if a girl does not consume alcohol, but cons thousands of men and is dishonest with her friends, then is she good? And a girl who is least bothered about the people around her, the poverty, the starvation and uses others for her own selfish needs then is she super good, is she the best? Okay, i know people have their own choices and opinions. It's their decision on whom to stay with and whom not to stay with. My bestie faced similar situation once, but in her case the guy hardly knew her and in my case the person knew me very well. I don't understand whats the use considering him as BESTEST of my friends if he least knew me, in fact all these days he must have heard me and not listened to me or my words with utmost attention they required. I do respect him for his presence in the toughtest hour of mine and i also adore him much. But the same person raising such a question was not admirable.
I like him dearly and wish for his well-being, and i also hope that he understands that beauty lies within.. However the person be on outside, his/her intentions towards others shouldn't be demonic and the person should be considerate enough about others living in the society. His/her heart should be pure and mind and thoughts should be crystal clear.
Consuming alcohol and smoking are not bad things unless they're done in excess and people who have it occasionally aren't bad too. Girls should be given equal rights to live and cherish their lives. At the end of the day, no person is bad, he/she are just victims of circumstances. And i BEG you all not to PREJUDGE people on what they wear, what they eat etc. STOP fooling yourselves and acting like STEREOTYPES. YOU live in 21st century and behave accordingly!
