I am searching ,
For a book or scroll or pile of papers
From the ancient times
Scripted by ancestors
Complied by society
I hunt for the book containing
All the norms to be followed
Teaching us the right and the wrong
Guides us to abide by the old path created
Criticizing the change
But they tend to forget that the old paths were made by change someday
Where are those ancient yellow pages?
Which differentiate people on their colour or gender
Which specifies different religions
When god is one
And we are one
My exploration is on
To burn the book which
Instills the prominent fear in our minds
“Of what society will say”
Challenge
This is in response of Five photos Five Stories challenge nominated by Darshith. I would like to thank for this challenge.
The challenge is that you have to post five photos for five consecutive days and write a story on that photo. It can be fiction , non fiction , poem or few lines. Each day nominate a blogger for the same.
I would like to nominate Apurva.

Unique, very unique concept of criticizing society on the basis and the points u made… Though i have read many blogs about the same but this blog kept me engaging in the format you chose to discuss for the revolution of thinking.
Cheers

Acknowledging that this piece is a result of a challenge, I am going to assume that it still represents your thoughts and perspectives;
The book you are looking for is within you. You already know right from wrong. What you do not know is why things changed to be as they are today. While it would be really beneficial to understand the changes such that they can be reversed, is it necessary to understand? If we water a plant, it will grow. Do we need to understand what happens within the plant for that to happen? We know that it is possible to put a man on the moon. Do we need to understand the science behind such a venture?
If you can use your life to influence change in areas of mutual tolerance, compassion, sharing etc. etc., then what more could you possibly want? This can be done without understanding the past.
I know but I am not saying just about myself. There are times when we think twice to do something because we think what society will say. There are times when we are forced to think about the path we follow. But yes it does depends on us till some point.
Good points. As I recently mentioned on another blog, we can chose to ignore society and display our total independence (which probably means living a very isolated life), or we can allow society to dictate our life (which erases your uniqueness). Somewhere between those two extremes is your “sweet spot”. The challenge that we all face is to find that balance where we are expressing our uniqueness and yet staying within social guidelines.
Yeah we have to balance both. We have to be unique that too with society. Thats why we have to forget the norms we follow and adapt with new environment.
