isms...

I have been thinking of writing this for a while now, feeling relaxed that I am finally making it up!

'isms'...of lately I realised that our lives are made up of isms..Religionism, Casteism, Racism, Parentsism, Societism, Selfism, Marriagism, Idolism, Worshipism, Hypocrism..

What we are is so much constrained by all the isms around us..Unknowingly we become part of them and create our own isms and make sure that they are passed on to generations..

We do a lot of things just because they have been in the isms..

Do we really think beyond isms? Do we really think beyond Milky way galaxy->Solar system->Earth->Land->Continent->Country->City->Address->Room->Laptop..??

I know its easier said than done..isms are mostly adapted from the fact that they are experiences our older generations had and have to be followed to have an easier life..But, really are they so? Why are we so happy carriers of isms? When do we get out of all the isms and start thinking beyond them?

I remember my friend's comment here - 'Its strange that the value of a person's life is so much dependent on his/her citizenship, relegion, caste, sex ..'

I love the lyrics of  Madonna's 'Frozen'.., her black costume and black birds flying around in the song..so very true of reality..

You only see what your eyes want to see

How can life be what you want it to be

You're frozen

When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get

You waste your time with hate and regret

You're broken

When your heart's not open

If I could melt your heart

we'd never be apart
give yourself to me

you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame

And you should know I suffer the same

If I lose you

My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly

Let all the hurt inside of you die

You're frozen

When your heart's not open

If I could melt your heart...
