Our deepest fear in not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Commodifying Human Existence

They say this is the platinum age brought to us by the human mind itself. Technology reaching unfathomable heights of creation making humans feel like gods themselves. The concept of 'free market' rules our materialistic lives providing us with a million choices to choose from, to trade with. 

Little do we realise that the essence of what rules our outwardly lives has begun to rule us from within as well. We no longer look at our fellow human beings as humans. They have, for most of us, become commodities. Meant to trade, reject or upgrade. 

Treated  like a mere car,for example,we are either bored with who is with us or on the constant lookout for someone better without ever truly giving a chance to what we have. We romanticise the idea of commitment and stability. Wondering how our parents and grandparents have been together for decades and still so in love. But the moment someone steps into our inner circle and breaks the boundaries we have made around ourselves to show us the love we romanticise, we run in the opposite direction or just shut out that person. I ask, what are we so afraid of?

We live in a culture that pushes us to explore. Check out all our options. Which is good, i must say, if we are to make an informed decision about our life. It allows us to figure ourselves out too. 

But what after that? What happens after you have gone through those options. The world of commodities has had such a profound effect on the human psyche that we never stop looking for more options. Stuck in a constant flux. Never stable. Never truly satisfied. And never completely happy. 

What if we walked out on the person who brought out the best in us only because we thought we could trade up for a better person. May it be personality wise or looks, is irrelevant. Or are we so scared to commit to a person and explore the world together because it means we have to create a degree of stability. Or is it because we have been in this flux for so long that we longer even recognise what stability looks or feels like to the point that it now scares us. 

Well, newsflash people - humans are not commodities. We are social beings and that is our essence. It cannot be negated or ignored. Humans build themselves on emotions. Emotions that we now treat as non-existent. We have to recognise the fact that there is a himalayan difference between objects and humans. If we are to find some semblance of peace we have to stop looking at other humans as objects and stop treating them that way more so.

We teach our “tough boys” not to cry, but instead we should teach them not to make women in their lives cry.The men who grow up violent are often the ones who were never allowed a healthy outlet for their emotions. Teaching boys they can't cry forces them to find other outlets for their frustration, anger, and sadness--and because of toxic machismo values, boys and men will turn to violence. No, not all men are like that, but to be denied your humanity is something that affects many people in terrible ways. Why should violence be socially acceptable for men, but not crying? On the other hand, boys who are allowed to express their emotions will not have to bottle them up, and will be able to find non-violent, healthy ways to express themselves. Men aren't naturally creatures of violence, but this is one of the many reasons many men become violent. 'Start With The Boys', a short film directed by Vinil Mathew and produced by Alex Kuruvilla, Managing Director, Conde Nast India, makes a powerful point about domestic violence.

The Smallest Coffins Are The Heaviest

I am devastated about what has happened in Peshawar, Pakistan. If I am feeling this way I cannot even imagine how the families of those young children feel. No politics, war or some warped up idea of what religion and god asks of someone is worth the lives of innocent young children. Nothing! Literally nothing is worth their lives no matter how important a thing u have to say to the world!

My thought on Revenge and Daniel

Yes redemption, and reparation for an injustice done by his father and the irony! Saving Amanda! Seeing him in her arms….That was truely the most heart wrenching yet beautiful thing to watch. Shakespeare couldn’t have thought of a better tragedy! Daniel died a hero instead of a torn and desperate individual. Bravo Revenge! Bravo.

Random Rants at 4 am

[sonic-screwdildo]

do other people with boobs actually go to bed with their bras on or is that just in movies because i would never wear a bra to bed its like going to bed with tape on your mouth

[afeministinthemaking]

I really hope women dont do that. I cant even sleep with my bra on. Just too damn restrictive

[rainydaysandabook]

as mentioned in the earlier post, i’ve been obsessing over tv shows (mainly revenge and DA. i didn’t really enjoy ouat’s latest episode, tbh) and in the hopes that talking about it will get it out of my system, here it goes:

Hate sex works for me too.. Anything does as long daniel and emily make amends towards each other.

[lucifer-chloe]

Now, something real. That’s what you were looking for?

[afeministinthemaking]

Ok so i have begun to watch revenge again and I've missed out alot in the middle particularly season 3 of revenge but i managed to get the gist of it. Coming to the point.. Ive always wanted emily and jack to end up together but im suddenly having the hots for Daniel Grayson and im digging the whole scenario emily/amanda has going on with him. Im hoping for more in the upcoming episodes. Fingers crossed:p
