That Which Prevails...

 More often than not, we come across situations which make us want to oppose or retaliate the happenings around us. But when we do so, we are hushed and shushed with the arguments that 'this is very common, very normal', 'this happens with everyone', 'there's nothing new'. 

There are issues in the society, which are so imbibed into our day-to-day lives that they seem normal. There are so many practices which are wrong to the very core, but they are so prevalent that they seem to be a part of our lives.

But, is prevalent always right? Just because it is a common practice doesn't mean it is fair. Infact, there is so much unfairness to it.

Women are made to go through so much, only because this is how it has always been. They are considered and treated as secondary. It has always been the case. No matter how 'open minded' we pretend to be, when it comes to the women in the house, they are always meant to be tamed and controlled. Their opinion never matters, their contributions are never acknowledged, their talents are never recognised. All of this is knowingly and intentionally ignored.

We all know it, experience it, and bear with it. But, as soon as one complains about it or tries to retaliate, the only answer is, this is normal. Actually this is the very conditioning of our society. We are taught to normalize such highly abnormal and unfair trend.

This issue needs to be given more thought than ever, as we need to stop normalising such seemingly harmless practices which  result in a lot of mental agony and pain to the bearer.

No one has the right to suffocate people in the name of beliefs and conventions. Just let everyone breath.
