My Thoughts in Such things as Culture, Religion, and Society

My Thoughts in Such things as Culture, Religion, and Society

When referring to Culture, Religion, and Authenticity within both Culture and Society, I truly see that many individuals use this as an excuse so that they may Cower behind their Rotten Bark and Shrivel away like Grotesque Empty Shells. Please forgive me for being both rood and blunt but please allow me to clarify.

How many of us are sincere? When I ask this, I am referring to being true to ourselves to the most capable that we can. Let me ask this then, how many of us face our selves with our fullest courage.

How many of us run away from the truth within us?

What I have seen is many individuals walk the paths of Suppression, Torture in all forms, Self Delusion, and Cowardice in regards to others and themselves.

Examples; The Caste system in India; Female genital mutilation across different cultures and religions; Foot Binding in Past China; and Honor Killing in Sindh, Pakistan and across different cultures and religions as well… A few examples out of the many realities…

What of cults like the racist Ku Klux Klan and the new extremist that have self proclaimed themselves as evangelical Christians?

I know that many wonders of life like culture and honest religious beliefs do exist but what I mentioned above just isn’t that.

Every single sentinel being on this planet Knows exactly what’s within them and any individual who musters the courage to face that knows that their logic, and their thoughts and actions do not, Ever, resort to the suppression of others, to the torture of others in any form, to the self delusion that “justifies”, nor to any form of Cowardice.

When One is honest with themselves and sincere in their pursuit of truth and happiness, that One discovers that they change and that they will continue to change so long as they walk in the path that is sincerest to what they Know is true to them.

Seeing someone suffer, suppressed, mutilated, raped, and trade off as product “slaves” stands up with their courage and defends against such inhumane thoughts and action.
Calling it “Culture” and “religion” is something that has neither logic nor any valid grounds to do so.

All of us make an impact on how we connect, act, think, and react towards ourselves and everyone/every life around us.

I ask for sincerity, bravery, and the willingness to actually think about one’s own thoughts and action. When I say sincerity, I mean it not as the half baked falsehood that many of us tend to choose at times. In the grounds of Morality; just look within without the bullshit. Otherwise, we will continue to get all this hatred – of – fear as we still do.

Those are my thoughts on the matter and I am always Sincere.
