Comment: Mann....I was not going to post anything here but I keep seeing people trying to blame the parents and what not. It is highly unfair to impose YOUR values on everyone else, just because you feel you know better and would not have allowed your children to be out at such hours. Some people dont see the value in that but its not their fault. Why? Because those same parents at some point, were around an environment where there was no regard for such values, and hence the cycle of oppression. You think if she lived long enough to have children, she would chastise her kids for doing just as she did? Unless she saw her actions as misguided mistakes through which she can positively influence a latter generation, the cycle will continue. So quit passing judgment. Not all of us are as fortunate to have been surrounded by proper culture, morals and values and that does not make others any worse than we are ok? This is NOT any isolated issue but rather a problem thats rooted deep in years of oppression and misguided values. I mean why is it that treating women with love and respect doesnt guarantee sustenance and reciprocity? Why is it "uncool" to be a virgin before marriage or even to be faithful and practice abstinence? Why is it cool to have a BB, supported with a data plan and yet you work for minimum wage? Why is it necessary to be concerned with trivial issues such as matching shoes and bags and yet you complain about things being "hard"? I mean, look at our society...we're all products of our environment but we're NOT zombies. We all CAN dare to change, dare to be different and live a just and modest life. Yes we can... |
