OMG my sentiment

The notion of hurt sentiments has become a new mantra for many groups, and it seems that almost anything can be deemed offensive these days. In India, it has become common practice to include disclaimers before telling a joke, just in case someone's sentiments are hurt. This seems rather silly given that there are so many pressing issues that demand our attention. For instance, there are 45 million people living below the poverty line in India, and the level of inequality and poverty is shocking. Furthermore, we have criminals and even dacoits in positions of power, yet we are still preoccupied with the idea of hurt sentiments. It's time for us to focus on the real problems that affect our society and work towards creating a more equitable and just world for all.

This has become a pandemic now with the advent of the right wing in all religion- from the Morons of the islam to the idiots of Hinduism- well they are abundant in Christianity also- but they are just waiting for dan brown book to become a useless movie.

Why do we prioritize protecting our sentiments related to caste, religion, and cultural practices over issues that actually affect us, such as corruption and poverty? It is ironic that we get offended and hurt by something as trivial as a joke or criticism, but turn a blind eye to the injustices and inequalities around us. The notion of protecting our caste or religious identity seems to be deeply ingrained in our society, to the extent that it blinds us to the real issues that need to be addressed. We need to shift our focus and start addressing the systemic problems that hinder our progress as a society, instead of getting caught up in the trivial matters that distract us from the real issues at hand.

How did we become a bunch of jokers with no humanity. Everyday some comment is hurting people on social media- really in social media- a media which it seems to abuse people- we are hurt by it. Words hurt but it should not be taken to heart about silly things.  Well what is silly thing- everything is silly if it just affects your sentiment. Every social change from marriage age to education- all is because some one dared to hurt the religious sentiments- just go and read about how marriage age was changed in India and who were crying or how savithribai phule fought to educate the masses.

We need to hurt sentiments to change. I also think you can hurt sentiment just to make fun for a laugh. It is okay. I know the left is also full of cry babies when it comes to hurt sentiments- just a bunch of whinny cry babies. 

It's important to remember that our beliefs and identities are indeed constructs and not inherent truths. However, it's also important to acknowledge that these constructs hold immense power over people's lives and can deeply affect their sense of self and belonging.

As for the hypocrisy of some people who claim to follow a religion of love and then engage in hateful behavior, it's unfortunately a common phenomenon. It's important to hold people accountable for their actions and not let them use their beliefs as an excuse for harm.

Similarly, while free speech is important, it's also important to consider the impact of our words on others and to recognize that speech can perpetuate harm and discrimination. It's a delicate balance between protecting free expression and being mindful of the consequences of our words

 I read this book called unifying Hinduism- ( i do recommend to anyone who wants to understand the rich Indian philosophy and evolution of Hinduism) in that the author writes there were different sects of religious ideas and one of them were pasupaths. They were a fascinating bunch of people, i did some further reading also. The "monks" in that sect would sometimes stand in the middle of the town and talk nonsense- well hurt sentiments , so the towns people could abuse them or even spit on them. This was done to remove the self.

 what a fall!  

Enjoy language - it will not hurt, ideas don't hurt- money hurts Get hurt when it affects us materialistically not just the ego. 



PS- well if you abuse my ideas- i dont have any problem- I dont care about any politician or philosopher, but i do love some of the teachings- they are not mine- i dont get hurt if you abuse or dont agree- it is okay -they are not mine, it is very difficult to have a original thought- all my thoughts are borrowed so..

but if my self is hurt hahhaha
