My observations about (negatives) our Society:
1. We lack courage - to question authorities, to fight against injustices, to seek our rights, to say No, to hold accountable those who commit wrongs
2. We seek comfort. We don’t take risks. We settle for less. We seek comfort in religion, spirituality, politics, entertainment and wealth
3. We like to be ruled by powerful people. We admire and adore powerful people. We surrender our self respect to wealthy, famous and powerful individuals.
4. We love freedom - freedom from our responsibilities, from our civic duties, from our governments, from our politicians
5. We don’t care - it’s none of our business as long as it doesn’t affect me and my family
6. We boast about our small achievements. We hate when others achieve more than us.
7. We don’t like the truth. Truth unmasks us. Reveals carefully created image.
8. We like to control and dominate - be it a discussion or people
9. We enjoy when famous people fail. We like to see people fail, suffer and drop to the level of our living standards
10. We desert people who fail.
11. We like to compare with others. If the neighbor is successful we want to be successful (without working hard).
12. We don’t readily accept our weaknesses. We keep arguing we are perfect.
13. We readily put blame on others and seldom accept our own mistakes
14. We like to be praised all the time.
15. Good thing is today’s youth are ambitious and ready to take on the world- but they need freedom from vast part of our society which practices all or few points I have highlighted above.
I am aware there are lots of good things about our society. Let’s talk about them some other day.
Being part of this society some of these apply to me as well. I am aware of this and have been trying to become better.
Feel free to share your observations. 🙏🏼
Difference in political ideologies at home is such a kalesh inducing situation. 💀
Silent treatment is the only solution. 🤝
