WELTSCHMERZ By Abeer Aulakh, Chandigarh, India

Everything mentioned henceforth are my personal views and experiences. No offence intended to anyone. What if there was no money? No religion? No discrimination? The world would surely be a better place to live in. No killing for money, no killing in the name of religion.

Religion and Separatism

I read it some where that religion is a virus and god is the one who is spreading it. I believe it to be partly true. But then it depends on one’s faith. We people are justifying everything in the name of religion. There are people killing in the name of religion. We created religion so that we could have some one on whom we could bestow our faith in. People are separatist’s by nature. Everyone knows that. We have created sub castes in everything. People are divided- religion, money, race etc. What problem do we have living in peace? Why do we have to degrade each other in every sphere of life? But then that’s typical human nature.

Money and Happiness

Everybody needs money to survive. But judging people from the amount of money they have is too much. The people who have good amount of money are the one’s who are good people and the one’s who have less money are the one’s who can’t be trusted, the so called bad people.  This was a theory my friends father had put. He is a senior bureaucrat, a so called ‘respected’ man with lots of money. Even though it is through embezzlement of funds and corruption. People think that money can buy everything even happiness. Indeed it can get you happiness but only for a short period of time. A parvenu wouldn’t know this because he thinks he can get anything with money. Happiness is when you sit and talk to your loved ones, when you see them after a long time, when you hold their hand.

Discrimination

Every where you go, we see people being discriminated in some way or the other. Especially women. Women are discriminated on the basis of sex, which is truly sickening. Women are considered nothing but objects of sex. They are never taken seriously in any sphere of life.  Ever where a woman goes she is looked upon by leaching men. This actually makes me think that has the world gone crazy about sex? Do we have nothing else in our lives except for flamboyancy, justifying religion, degrading people?
So, if there was no money, no religion, and if sex wasn’t pleasurable the world would actually be a peaceful place to live. Amen.
