Hipocracy

When I read today's newspaper, I recollected the discussion I had with a friend of mine. The discussion could be summarized as "We take pride in our culture etc. We project a great culture to the outside world. We hide the problems we face. We kill each other. We project moral uprightness, but are we really moral?"

Many of us, talk about respecting women. We don't hesitate promising by our epics. We take pride in proclaiming that we treat women as incarnation of Divinity.

With the same thought, we have daily news of harrasment. We have more than 5 million HIV infected.

When we know all this, why should we push them under the carpet? Why should we hide? Are we doing any great to our selves doing this?

I always believed, and still believe that problem of the society can be solved only when discussed in open. I still can't understand how we would be able to solve them "by castigating" those who come out in the open and try to educate the unaware.

If the mindset of people doesn't change, we would be highly educated but still ignorant. If we thing that there are others to solve this, it won't be solved. Remember "It always starts from the self".
