Its Stopped
Life's come to a stop. I don't know whats going on and where am I headed. My hearts tells me something, my mind says something else. I hear voices in my head questioning all that I have done in the past and will be doing in the future.
Today, I sit in the library trying to concentrate on an 1,500 words essay on Photography that I have to finish by the end of the day. Its been 4.5 hours and I have not written a word. My brain's come to a halt.
Right in front of my eyes, I see a couple sitting on a table studying together. They are definitely in love. The guy's a Chinese and the girl's an Indian-Muslim. What captured my eyes is that the girl is wearing a scarf.
Love is a beautiful thing that puts all differences aside and just feels the emotions that love brings across. I don't know if they will in the future be together or ethics and culture pressure will break them apart. This brings up the question, is this what our culture teaches us? To break ties, see the indifference and build relations with those who belong to your "tribe"?
It surprises me how culture is one of the reasons that divides the earth. For me, the caste system is horrendous, religion discrimination is ridiculous and making friends of the same nationality is stupid.
I find it unfortunate that today, people still believe in marrying those who belong to the same religion and caste. Does it really matter if that person is a Buddhist, Hindu or a Muslim? Not for me at least.
