hmm....this is not easy to talk about, sometimes, i wonder why things that seem clearer from a third persons view is so fizzled when you are in the situaion yourself.
Why is it that as people we fail to raise to the occasion when most needed for ourselves.
Are circumstances really so compelling, why is it hard to fathom a change in life?
Why and what do we fear?
Why is social acceptance and reputation a deciding factor in improving your life....
The last few months when i zoned out, i came across one women who stayed couple of nights at my place as i was trying to accommodate a cousins request. Jo bhi, something abt my demenor or what i dont know, people find it easy to talk to me, over cup of my chai, over somehow open thier darkest ghost closets and tell me stuff.
And then few weeks ago, my mom was sharing something that happened to a very close relative of ours, my aunt. Both these women had something in common, they are in relationships with spouses who blatantly abuse them, physically, mentally, verbally, these women have children who witness this day in and out, they have aging parents who want a better life for them, these are people who have facades of deep rooted beliefs in god.
then again today, i was shared of a story of a young woman who is seeking divorce for the second time in her short 28 yrs of life.
While some women are so protective of things that are dubious, the others are throwing it away. I'm not here to police their moral choices, i'm not here to judge them, what triggers my post is....is it the family upbringing, is it the pressure of society, or is a persons.....
(huh such an old post...)
