People and Culture: A view








I've spent the last five years trying to understand who I am and how the world works. I was doing everything I could, but as usual, I have this condition that makes somehow unknowingly to please people over and receive their approval. Every single day, I get ready for the outside world, and during night, I continue to wrestle with the concepts of good and evil, right and wrong.
However, during the last two years, things around me have become more intense and clouded. People in my immediate environment are getting meaner and less helpful. They are developing a harsher judgement than society as a whole.

I noticed a patriarchal and hierarchical tone. Well, I guess I'd say that's how everyone is, or maybe it's not in other parts of the world.

Each country or nation has its own culture, religion, and customs, many of which date back centuries and are still practiced today out of obligation, amusement, or a variety of other motives.

It may depend on a person's nature, which has several aspects rather than just one. Similar to this, we adhere to customs, rituals, and obligations, whether they be religious, political, or social, which is beneficial as long as there is more acceptance and understanding and less judgement or other disruptions.

I sometimes think that I am the only one who is unaware of all of these things. I have only ever read about a patriarchal culture, caste, violence, and the oppression or opprobrium of women and weak, intelligent humans in books or newspapers. Due to the fact that I was raised in a hilly, tribal region with its own distinct social structure, I have never observed these things so carefully, or perhaps I should say that I was never exposed to them. This time, when I was a little exposed, it began to take over and have an impact on both my life and the lives of those nearby.

Sometimes I think that tribal society is more developed than what is considered civilized society in some ways. The human intellect has many limitations, therefore if I perceive or experience the society in this way, it would only be a fragmentary and early comprehension of me. No matter what kind of high degree or certificate of education someone holds, human understanding also has inherent limitations. We are unable to comprehend all facets of nature.

Therefore, having an open mind and the appropriate amount of awareness and patience may be the key to learning more about human nature. As a scholar of religion and the humanities, I tried my hardest to avoid being caught up in religious sentiments and baggage, but I would say that I strive hard to recognize people as people first and foremost before considering caste religion and so forth. But as you all know, it's easy to say and difficult to achieve in practice. Still, as a scholar, I used to place importance to the currents; be the knowledge of a concept, a religious practice, or anything else that may have directly or indirectly lead us to see more of humans nature and its various tendencies.
