“It is like that”
“Do it as such”
Many a times we hear these kinda words. And we let ourselves to be ruled by those prejudiced notions.
We are not born to be stereotyped, but somehow got tuned in that way.
And very rarely a counter question is asked “why is it like that?”
Okay, leave it if you are trying to make prejudice wall sturdier. Be a stereotyped and use the ink of prejudiced notions to build your world, after all it’s a great time saver, no…;) you don’t have to over think.. just need to respond based on the preconceived notions. And live peacefully the rest of your life in that stereotyped world. (Ah!)

Hahahaha ,Akhila. Being sarcastic hmm?? such a great point ,we often tend to adapt whatever comes without questioning because may be that seems easier .
Good morning Ami…you got it…we just dont want to stress our brain, so go with the crowd..
Yes !that’s ndeed a truth but at the same it’s not gonna give us the pleasure of living life on our own terms 🙂 😀
very true..first of all we need to relaise that we have that right to question, and then overcome the mindblock..
cheers to the right to question! liked the madhavikutty excerpt!

Hmmmmm…let them, ma`am
You have A strong message with this post. Would love to hear your thoughts on Queen Kong and I. I think you would find it to be a rewarding read. Please share your thoughts
Nice post Akhila and this world and its woes makes us sometimes Prejudiced and then it is us only who do not know what to do. Nicely worded.
thanks Kamal..we are a kind of tuned to be like that, and easily forget that we should have asked ‘why not like that”
Yes absolutely true Akhila that is the reason we then label the whole community that they are like that when all are not like that at all.
ha ha.. yes.. there are many…A big salute to them..
Yes, same all over. Here they say, “That’s the way it is.” and “That’s the way it’s done” and after that wonderful wisdom you’re supposed to accept and keep your mouth shut. I’m 70 years “young” now and because my mind is not tuned to the normal I’m still being challenged and mocked for the things I say, and how I see the world. To my society, I’m a kind of “fool on the hill” I guess. But what’s so great about repeating the same mistakes, as a society, generation after generation? Why can’t we try something really new and revolutionary? Two things I keep saying should be done that would change the world overnight: One, let’s just decide to act strictly compassionately. Two, let’s all go naked! Imagine that… 🙂
When the things become a usual one as in your naked imaginations, it won’t be a problem at all…
Hmm..in that way we are just making that wall stronger
oh it would be so easy………….if we did not question, protest, try to change things………. 🙂 🙂
ya.. better keep quiet..no..;)
absolutely!:D
Trully inspirational.we should overcome these prejudiced thoughts☺
Haha.never question the one who show you the best path. I am delighted to see your post daily.keep posting.we look forward for that ☺☺
Unequal societies try to suggest that asking questions is impolite, unpatriotic and ungrateful.
ya..they never know the beauty of the challenging world..
True..
🙂
