There are a number of variables that play a role in the shaping of what is your character, your ideology and what is your belief system. Many of which we unconsciously imbibe even through our mundane and usually not-so-fruitful interactions, but people forming the most integral part. And through this course of time, we also make some strong bonds, some acquaintances, we acknowledge the ones we admire and then the inevitable human tendency also attributes 'dislike' to a certain section. The basis for such a distinction and apparent classification is rather inexplicable. It is just, lets say, the way we feel around them. There are deep rooted elements in society, however, with a bearing on rigid principles on the basis of which these relationships are governed and groomed. The artless veracity of these that are sunk deep in the so-called archaic morality that is rather obsolete and holds no water in the scenario of today. Well, they don't choose to acknowledge this fact and hence a vicious circle of rather baffling and unpardonable exclusions and narrow outlook is being passed on to a generation that is growing up in an environment that is echoing and resonating a voice quite clearly to the contrary. There is scope for debate amongst young and old, yes - they do honour us by lending an ear, but the hope for change is, as according to them, a closed door that they are quite unwilling to open.
Apprehension to change is fair but such mustn't lead to a complete negation of any positivity that will be of benefit. Having inculcated staunch values in a certain regard, that today doesn't seem reasonable more than acceptable, being set in a radically strange surrounding and succumbing to irrational forces of some invisible iron hand that is refusing to state a valid purpose is distastefully repugnant. Having acclimatized to the filth of their fenced-in environ, they'd rather prefer to stay in than step out to experience a fresh breath of air that could but only do good to one polluted and ridden by custom.
Maybe it is our turn to stand up for what we believe in, show them what we see and enable them to look at it from an absolutely different angle, that although contradictory to their set of norms, does have reason in its being. Every conflict has a solution - whether big or small - judgment of nature is relative and open to interpretation. It is just a matter of time and perseverance. A comprehensible vision of the 'light at the end of the tunnel' may not be in sight, but it is the light of hope within our hearts that will shine out and show us our way through. And at the end of it all, it will be worth this spasmodic malady. This is no fool's paradise. This is life and we'll live it by our standards. Trust me.
