The current state
A few minutes ago, I received a greeting
from an uncle of my native town. It was about the birth anniversary of one of
the Gods. To be very frank, I felt less concerned. It has been coming to me
that we, the dwellers of Earth, in the quest of saving the religion, have been
desperately pushing for it, knowingly-unknowingly how the current new
generation would take it. Religion has always been important and I believe it
has always evolved as well. Through time, all the previous forms are now
accepted as one of the sects of the religion for a particular religion. I mean,
the evolution which would be occurring in the previous times must also be met
with angry conservative ones who protested for the status quo and no change in
the norms, because they are most accustomed to It – they are most comfortable
to be. This also implies that whatever I believe now may stand up as
conservative to the future generation and they would think differently of me
and my values. Pushing for the ideology generally denigrates it and besides the use
of ‘force’ implies that it failed to appeal to the new generation, maybe because
it was not allowed much freedom to evolve with time. In the age of media and
all-time high access and connectivity, one cannot push for the status quo. It will
be uncomfortable for people and they will react to it. If women were not considered
of much value in the past, it is bound to change, because it’s not the muscle
power which dominates the current world, it is intelligence, and more so
emotional intelligence. Also, the accessibility of culture across the border at
the tip of the finger has brought dynamism and if this energy in any way is
obstructed, it will be catastrophic. The river of change should be regulated
with the experience of the older generation, but not desperately, rather with
an open heart. They must realize that things have always been this way. It may
be that the rate of change is far more in the present context.
