Tonight, I am going to discuss the hollow side of your and mine society. Things that we deny despite their very existence in our everyday lives. I am also chunking them down to different parts so that no one deviates from the OP.
Part 1 (this thread) is about the curses that are rampant in the subcontinent. It's in our homes, on the road, on the malls, in taxis, rickshaws, hospitals, schools, et al. Not a day goes by when I don't have to hear some burgher father hurling out at his 7 year old kid with curses like
Don't you think that these curses kill the self esteem within that child? Isn't it emotional molestation? Unfortunately no one's putting an end to it. It's being transferred from one generation to another with zero resistance. I know people in the subcontinent don't want to wash their dirty linen out there in the public even though they use it as napkins inside.
So people, our children don't deserve to be cursed upon. If you happen to be one of them then please, act responsibly. Our children don't deserve that, save them and their future.
I don't want your sloppy religious recommendations here. I just want you people to go out there and start doing something that'd help put an end to it.
edit; Yep, I agree. If people are weak [especially children who are depending on you] and you call them a name they will define themselves by that name...until they realize that isn't who they really are. But if they don't know who they are then it becomes a problem. When parents curse children like this they will start to believe that that's who they really are and will slowly become that name. You're absolutely right, it's dooming them forever.
No doubt nothing can be done...this reality has touched almost many homes. the only thing one can do now is to be good to their own / other children. One good act can heal maybe not to self...but might to others. These acts destroy the career...and most of all...destroys the self image of one own self...the world cannot be faced with too much of war inside...
Completely and totally agreed. Kids are still owed some sort of respect just for the basic fact that we're all human here. We may not know everything but we're not that inferior.
