Preach What You Practise
Life teaches us many things. We are brought up under restrictions as to what the society considers right or wrong. We all wear a mask and try to blend in with the society. Not many want to go against the societal norms. We boast about being modern and advanced in thoughts and behaviour. But how tolerant are we and how modern our thoughts are??
All watched the movie 'Aye Dil Hai Mushkil' and felt so bad for Ranbir. But it was also his mistake for going behind a girl who clearly didn't have any romantic feelings for him. We all want such a character in our lives don't we? Who would live just like that? But the truth is it would end up the same way it did in the movie. No I didn't mean the dying part. I meant the never getting together part. It's more messy when it happens in real life and more painful.
Sometimes we need to think about stuff before we join to that cause. For example, we all go 'awwww' when we hear that some celebrity couple is living together. We follow them on Instagram and like their pics. But how much of us would be comfortable with our sisters or brothers living together with their partners????
There us a stark difference between acceptance and tolerance. As long as it doesn't happen with our near and dear ones we tolerate it. Only when it is personal it is acceptance. We are a tolerant society and that's the truth of it. We have still not come to terms with many things. Be it homosexuality, or open relationships, or friends with benefits, or sex before marriage, and so much more.
The most common example is when girls get abused either by relatives or at workplace. Most of the families prefer to keep it silent. Because they don't want to spoil the girls future. I know quite a few of my friends who were asked to keep their mouths shut. Let me tell you that all those are the families that pride on being modern and broad minded.
So what is wrong with all these people. They are well educated and they know the difference between right and wrong. Yet they have double standards ...no, multiple standards. Why is that?
They are simply double sinners.
We get so carried with our cool quotient that we forget to preach only those that we practice.
If you are person who doesn't support dating sites then accept it. If you don't support lgbt cause then no one is forcing you. If you don't believe in sex before marriage then say it *(only if you haven't done it before marriage you can't expect your partner to be something you are not )*.
No one is going to punish us for our views. Unless you don't get aggressive. Every one can have their views. It's perfectly normal and also our right.
The next time you support something think about it and support only if you would practice it.
