Our tendency to hold on to things and people we love and admire and probably our very own comfort zone that we are so reluctant to move out of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right from our childhood, the period of development of the beliefs, we are conditioned to see, think, feel in a certain way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A child is taught even some gender-specific behaviors. &#8220;You are a boy, don\u2019t cry like a girl&#8221;. Who are we to decide that a boy, a male is not allowed to feel and cry? Who are we to decide that he should not express his true feelings about a person and a situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, girls are told that they have to live their lives as per the wishes of the males in her life, be it her father, brother, or husband because she is carrying the so-called and ever so-fragile RESPECT of those mighty males in her life, since they are not strong enough to keep their own respect untainted, so, ironically they need a TIMID and WEAK female to protect it for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/ph-buddha-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_cant_we_just_see_a_human_for_its_capabilities_potential_and_skills_irrespective_of_the_gender_color_caste_race\"><\/span>Why can\u2019t we just see a human for its capabilities, potential and skills, irrespective of the gender, color, caste, race?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why can\u2019t we just see a human for its capabilities, potential and skills, irrespective of the gender, color, caste, race?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why can\u2019t we just accept and respect some natural differences between both the genders and not make them a basis of discrimination and human iniquity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, we must remember that a soul does not have any gender.

Just because we are social animals, so we need to put a mask and conceal our genuine face. Just because society does not accept it, so we should not follow our dreams. Just because the society looks down upon and disapproves of, so we have to shoulder the meaningless relationships throughout our lives. Why can\u2019t we just be genuine about our feelings towards our relations and make peace with staying together or walking away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_are_taught_to_follow_the_religion_we_are_born_in\"><\/span>We are taught to follow the religion we are born in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are taught to follow the religion we are born in. We are conditioned to follow and revere one religion and to keep OUR religion superior to others. But one has not chosen it. Why do we have to be bounded by the practices of a specific religion? If the God is One. Why can\u2019t we just worship The God. Why is there so much hate and violence in the name of god and religion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are taught to chase security and comfort throughout our lives rather than choosing our free will and exercise freedom of our soul. Such beliefs are so deeply engrained in our psyche and we keep on passing them down the generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"794\" height=\"993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8e0634ce8494bbedfc33a0065e0c5dc4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8e0634ce8494bbedfc33a0065e0c5dc4.jpg 794w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8e0634ce8494bbedfc33a0065e0c5dc4-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8e0634ce8494bbedfc33a0065e0c5dc4-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.yogasthvidyarishikesh.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/8e0634ce8494bbedfc33a0065e0c5dc4-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_are_so_afraid_to_face_our_true_intentions_and_feelings\"><\/span>We are so afraid to face our true intentions and feelings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are so afraid to face our true intentions and feelings, for we might have to break these old beliefs and come out of those shackles of our comforts, we are so habitual of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have totally misinterpreted the murdering of our true selves and soul intentions and termed them as Normal Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But my friend!
