Difference of Opinion & Unacceptance

"I think the religion I follow is the only true religion in the world, others deserve to rot in hell." Sounds mean isn't it? This is what happens when we have a difference of opinion and we are not ready to accept that how their differences can make us better rather than creating hatred towards them. The fact is, we as humans are not programmed to accept change but to oppose it. Very few of us have been taught to embrace change and revel in it. Some of us condition ourselves to accept change. It can only be done when we are young, you might have noticed that people who are of old age do not like to be taught new ways of the world. On the other hand, children and energetic teenagers are always excited to try new things. But of course there is a line between trying every new thing and trying good new things, but that is just straying from the real topic.
The question we must ask ourselves is, are the people who dress, speak or eat differently are so alienated that we should hate them? Or we should welcome them and try to accept who they are? The world can be a better place when we are free of prejudice and judgement. Where we are ready to accept the Gay, Transgender, or people from different religion living next door. This world is for all of us and we as its citizens should be more compassionate about sharing it with.

Impatience

As the name describes, impatience is one of the most common factors of societal anarchy. The people in our society, including us, have no patience of any nature. May it be religious, political, or many other day to day interactions we have with other people. People are not ready to accept what others might have to offer. Neither are they willing to understand others' perspectives. We only justify our own logic and do not want to empathize as well as listen.

The life outside our comfort zone is always scary and demanding, that is why we stay inside and judge people who have opinions other than ourselves. We never try to learn their circumstances and their choices, instead, if they try to pull us outside our comfort zone, we retaliate against them and try to impose our excuses.

The main reason for these everyday quarrels between neighbors, relatives and random people we get in touch everyday is that we are not willing to accept and listen. Hence another main determinant of societal anarchy.

Disbelief and Discontent

Ever wondered why the society has been rushing towards discontent lately?
Well one thing is for sure that is its really new for all of us. Surviving in an environment full of disbelief and unsure is no doubt the most frustrating task of today, but nobody seems to focus on the reasons of the society being this way. This is the most pressing point of Societal anarchy. Why r we discontented? Why do we feel unsafe and unsure of everything? Why don't we trust people in our dealings? Why do we have to counter-check people while doing businesses, weddings, even meetings?

The answer is quite simple, we are not true to ourselves. We try to hide our true selves in wraps of status and self righteousness, we seek pleasure in other's despair, someone's tragedy is our comedy, deep down we wish for other person to fail so that we can succeed and brag about our so called victory. Unless we are willing to be the person who we want to meet and deal with.

The decision is up to us, maybe we cannot change this in one day, but we can be the first one to be the better member of the society for the greater good. And like its said, all u need is to light a candle.
