How often have we been under the shackles of the society. How often
have we thought, just cos someone else told
us that it is not possible for us, how often have we dared to believe
that they might be right? How often have we dared to doubt ourselves, our own
capacities, our faculties, our strengths and our weaknesses? How often have we
felt bad that we even doubted ourselves?
I know the answer for most of us is more than one. The society does
have a dominating role in shaping us because that is what we are as a part of
while growing up. But something we often tend to forget as we grow up is that
somewhere along the line we give the society too much of power, too much of
importance to the extent that it starts dictating us on a few terms. I am sure
we all have faced it at some point of time.
But the real question is – do we have to?
Just cos someone thinks something, does it necessarily have to mean
something?
