'CULT'ure..

Ok Peeps. I am finally back on the forum...!!

Past two months have been craaazzzyyyyyyy hectic with a lot "life-changing" knots.

Tsk...Tsk...

Finally got the time to actually sit down and pen some random gibberish. :P

Recently me and some of my folks got into the discussion of the whole culture, upbringing and modernization thing. I know, its a very used and reused topic been discussed a million times in each and every household.

Today, what we deem as the whole western versus eastern (asian) culture is actually the ideas and perspective of a handful of men. When man became man (as in from tree hopping monkey to what we all are today), who would have decided whether it was right or wrong to wear clothes, to kill another being, to steal or do anything for that matter. It was the perspective of a handful of people that we follow as culture today. Where I may find amusement, another being may find pain and abuse. And the same is true vice versa.

So people actually fight and argue about culture shaping them and so son but the whole thing is they are just blindly following what a CULT of people decided zillion years ago. So I'm not saying that everyone has to act according to what they think is right or wrong and not give a damn about what others thing and feel. But it has been engraved in us so much that what we think is right or wrong is influenced by that culture.

I may think that an issue, like smoking for example, is wrong but that is influenced by the way I was brought up by my parents, who taught me these ideas of CULTURE. So, at the end of the day, all I can say is being cultured is nothing but making sure you know how to balance between what you think and what would be the consequences of that thought on others who matter. If that balance is maintained... well your a well mannered, cultured person. If it aint, you're just a yahoo / hooligan.

Well, Parents. Dont complain that your kids are not listening to you and that they are going wayward in life or that this whole generation is just messed up...

Little red riding hood didn't listen to her mother..

Jasmine was in a live- in relationship wid Alladin..

Snow White lived alone wid 7 dwarfs...

Pinnochio was a liar...

RobinHood was a thief.

Tarzan walked without clothes on..

A stranger kissed sleeping beauty n she married him.

Cindrella lied, sneaking out at nite to attend a party.

The little mermaid, well dont even ask, she was wooing some other species.

So there you go parents. These are the stories you raised us with and now there is no point complaining !!!

Hahahahaha. PEACE !
