Slaves

Life is Beautiful..!!
I Agree, for me. It is.
Because I was not born in Afghanistan or Zanzibar
Because I was not born a Girl in a village of Rajasthan
Because I was not born to a labourer couple of Bihar
Because I was not born with any vital organ missing
Because.. Because.. Because..

It's easier to Praise the Good Life only because it has been kind to us, the selected few.
We never raise a voice against the injustice done to many more. Why? Because we have been fortunate enough. Why? Because we fear that we may lose this Privilege if we raise our voice.
We do not question the apathy of ourselves, let others. Why? Because we are content with whatever we have and we Fear.

Did we ever had a choice to chose our Lives?
Why are we living a life of Slaves? Shouldn't we revolt and ask for our freedom. The Freedom to be Happy forever. The Freedom of having what we want. The Freedom to relish the Friendship forever. The Freedom to be Loved forever. The Freedom to Live forever. The Freedom to have Freedom.

Beautiful Life is like living in a Golden Cage. Where you have everything that you want, But that Someone can takeaway anything and everything whenever He/She wishes. It's like living in Pre-Independence Era, where the elite were provided with by Britishers. And what they did? They Never Questioned? They lived the Beautiful Life...
But then a Privileged had the Courage to Question, Ask for his Freedom, Freedom for his fellow people.

We are Not Slaves, We are not Entertainment for Someone. We are not Fodder for His/Her Survival.

My God or Your God

We often say...
I believe in my Religion but I respect other's too.
The truth is, if you truly believe in your Religion, then you can't respect other's. Every religion is contradictory in nature, even the most similar ones.

How can a Christian respect a Muslim, when they refute Jesus to be Son of God?
How can a Muslim respect a Hindu, when idol worship is strictly banned in Islam?
How can a Buddhist respect a Muslim, when killing of an animal is prohibited in Buddhism?

The base of formation of all the religions were to contradict the existing religion. Though many may suggest co-existence but they won't say that the other religion is equally good and it makes no difference if you follow any.

The greatest fallacy of believers is that they follow a particular religion because they have a sense of pride in following it. They believe their Religion to be Superior and Better and that's the particular reason that they are stuck to it. The ones who find others to be better, convert themselves and become a follower of the Better religion.

So, in short you are follower of the Best Religion. This sense of pride in one's religion is the source of ridicule for other religion and then ultimately Hate.
