The consequence of gender imbalance

The consequence of gender imbalance – The Third World War

There have been many prophecies about the Third World War and its probable causes. From Oil to Water, from Nuclear Weapons to Intercontinental Missiles, from Afghanistan to Iran, we have concocted many tales of the next world war. But the next world war would be because of the gender imbalance.

Gender imbalance around the world has been on the rise. The developing countries are seeing a decline in their sex ratio. We have gravely undermined the importance of the other sex in the sustenance of human life on this planet. A male dominated society is has its foundations in discrimination and inequity. Such foundations of a society or nation are detrimental to the world.

A nation lacking the humbleness, politeness, and grace of the feminine gender would be aggressive and intolerant. The bigotry of the world's extremists has been on the rise in tandem with the decreasing sex ratio. The suppression of the female gender bolsters the ego of the male counterparts. This leads to the inward spiral of increasing violence at home and away. With the decreasing sex ratios, people will look towards usurping the females of other nations.

Some of the most deadly wars in the past have been fought over females. From the Ramayana to Mahabharata, the deadliest battles were fought over women. If the disparity in the numbers of males and females grows, the frustration within the society will increase and more wars will result. With each girl child killed, we near our dooms day.

He who knows how to be Poor knows Everything

In today's materialistic world, being poor is the worst thing that can happen to you. Being educated, being moralistic and being principled amount to almost nothing if you are poor. There are no opportunities to come out of that quagmire. Someone who has been through this and has somehow overcome the mountain of difficulties, would possess incredible amounts of determination, will and belief in his ability. Such talent is rare but often results in producing the greats. Being poor teaches you time management, how to make the most of your time to survive. It teaches you adaptability, how to adjust to the extremes of living conditions. It pushes you to extend your boundries and grow farther. It makes you emotionally and mentally strong. Someone who has been facing defeat after defeat but still gets up everytime to face adds so many facets to his personality. You learn only from your mistakes. If you have never faced defeat, it would be hard to survive. To relate to my own l...

Belief in Virtue is more important than Virtue itself

Just pause for a second from your daily life. The life that you are so desperately trying to organise, to make worthy, to make grand. The future plans that you are putting together, the aspiration and the fantasies; put them aside and think about this- "We spend a lot of time trying to organize the world, we build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather but what part of our life is truly under our control. What if we choose to exist purely in our reality of our own making, does that render us insane. If that does, isn't that better than a life of despair?" Rationality and irrationality is purely subjective. Also what's better is only a matter of how deeply you apply your thoughts to it. If being happy and content is all that you want in life, then isn't living an insane life in a world of your own, the perfect thing for you. The problem with us is that we don't know what we actually want, and when we do, we hate to accept them and instead...

The God Delusion

People all over the world create delusions around themselves, a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidences. In India alone we have 33 crore Gods to choose from, for the 100 crore population; a sort of personalised delusion for everyone. In addition to that there are crores of God men. The social structure is so formed that it makes us oblivious to the delusion. We continously doubt our own abilities, and associate results to the blessings of some higher beings. The degraded self-esteem is what pushes you deeper into the delusion. To quote Douglas Adams - "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The belief that the world was created by some God and that everything in this world is His creation is fundamentally flawed. If he created everything than who created Him. Putting the creation of everything under the ambit of one entity was to simplify the exp...
