Raise your voice

“The only thing constant is change”, well I did not say it someone far smarter than me did. Personally I have gone through a sea of change in the recent past. A sense of, shackles being broken.

My inspiration for this episode is SRK for he stood tall for the things he believed in.

I have always been a conformist, too weak to be the radicalist, have been a radicalist at heart but never in action. But now I believe no more can I rely on others to kick start an engine which I want to run. So the first thing a human being does to showcase his ideological change is change his or her physical appearance. Following similar path I also finally did something I wanted to do since last 8 year (changed my hair style and got my ear pierced).

By now you may feel that this is a page out of my daily diary well to start this topic I needed a longer introduction. Let us look at the will power within us to stand up. There are emotions that have been subconsciously urging us to raise our hand and ask the pertinent questions. “Why don’t we” – well all of us have fear in our heart could be parental pressure or peer pressure mostly we are not ready to face the consequences of our actions. What I feel is that when someone ridicules you it shows his or her insecurities. Typically people who have high deficiency in their personal attributes choose to ridicule others. It’s a primal instinct all animals exhibit it. The weaker animal tries to show excess aggression against a formidable opponent in effort to strike fear in their heart. Such people in our society who ridicule others are actually afraid that if they don’t others would ridicule them.

Learning is that once you are ready to follow your heart you are going to face quite a few challenges but the end result will be far more rewarding. Then what stops us is another set of primal instincts “Respect & Fear”. “Respect” for the people we love. “Fear” that how will it affect the various relationships that we share. But we need to understand that it’s your life today if you don’t do what you want to you will never feel content. Tomorrow you will blame those very people and at the end of the day sour your relationship. Stand up to your opinions and beliefs make the world notice you.

Believe me it’s hard to shed an image that is as old as you are but then if you are ready to take few blows it’s not impossible. I think many of you might have done similar things in life or are planning to so share your views
