THE MISFIT - Part 2


People are trying to teach each other to be tolerant of gays. I'm not ok with that. I am gay, and I am not seeking to be "tolerated." You tolerate stupidity or an annoying neighbor but I am not something or someone you tolerate. Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea. Understand that your morality is not law.

Discomfort or hatred towards gay community still remains a persistent problem in today’s society and it is becoming more and more alarming. The problem is that we live in a society where everyone is presumed to be heterosexual/straight and as a society, we still believe that everyone fits comfortably into a male or female gender category but the reality is clearly quite different.

Like racism and all forms of prejudice, bigotry against gay people is a deadly carcinogen. We are pitted against each other in order to keep us from seeing each other as allies. Why? What is it about gay people that disturbs you so much and you are willing to be so inhumane?

We don't want you to love us. We don't want you to like us. We don’t you to be our friend but to be treated with some respect. 8 out of 10 gay people probably wished they were never born and what more coming out of the closet. It takes no compromise to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect any individuals. It takes no political deals to allow people to exercise their freedom.

I am too valuable to be hidden in the closet. Being gay is not something that defines me. What defines me is what my mom always taught me, to treat everyone with respect and to always be kind. 

Weirdism' is definitely the cornerstone of my life!

Ravana: A Man of Great Potential and Terrible Mistakes by LordSeeths

  Ravana’s story in the Ramayana is not just about a villain trying to defeat the good guy, but about a human being with real flaws, struggles, and contradictions. His character resonates with so many of the complexities we face in our own lives his virtues and vices aren’t black and white, they’re a mix of light and shadow, much like how we all struggle with our strengths and weaknesses. Ravana: A Man of Great Potential and Terrible Mistakes 1.   The Scholar and The Devotee At the heart of Ravana is wisdom and devotion. He’s not some mindless monster but he’s a highly learned scholar, a gifted musician, and a devoted worshiper of Shiva. If you think about it, he’s the kind of person who’s achieved great heights in life through his own hard work and spiritual discipline. Just like many of us, Ravana strives for meaning and connection with the divine. His devotion to Shiva is so intense that he writes the famous Shiva Tandava Stotra, a hymn of ...

Mahabharata Simplified by LordSeeths

The Mahabharata is one of the two great epics of ancient Indian literature, the other being the Ramayana . It's a complex and multi-layered text, with stories, teachings, and philosophical lessons that have shaped Indian culture for thousands of years. At its core, the Mahabharata is a story of the Kurukshetra War , a grand battle between two groups of cousins—the Pandavas and the Kauravas —but its scope goes far beyond just the war itself. 1.

THE BATH OF DEATH

THE BATH OF DEATH or what is also known as 'Senicide'. A common practice in India till to date especially in villages. Many questioned how is this cruel compared to euthanasia? Who do we blame? Can education alone solve the social issue?  What sickens me more is, they justify this sinful act saying it is the will of God. It has become a lucrative business in India.  Well, read on what exactly is done to elders by their own children who look at them as burden.  The body is massaged with coconut oil, castor and sesame oils, usually at dawn. After this, the person is given a cold bath and put to bed. The body temperature soon dips, often to a lethal extent. After 15 minutes, the person is made to drink a few glasses of tender coconut water and a glass of milk. This causes renal failure. In a day or two, the person catches a fever and dies. If the oil and coconut water failed, the person would be given a glass of mud mixed with water or a bun which will be forced down their t...
