Acceptability
(or lack of it) is at the root of many issues. I don't know why we are unable
to recognize the fact that we are all different in many ways but that does not
matter. In fact, it is so interesting. Imagine if all of us were clones of each
other! We would not need mirrors for one.
But
jokes apart, why do we feel insecure if the people around us are so different
from us? What is the psychology? So many sects have been formed around a few
and so much intolerance has seeped into society. So many religions are at war,
simply because each one claims to be THE road to Nirvana.
The
saga of "I" and "mine" as superior to all others.
"I" believe. So, all else is meaningless, is the attitude.
All
this is the whole story. In the vast canvas of the Universe, the individual is
so miniscule. But, the ego identity encompasses the whole Universe. And this is
the major reason why we are unable to give the right to someone to be
different. We expect to be accepted. But are unable to accept another because
they are different. High time we dropped our double standards.
