Every other person on this planet talks this, ‘the world is bad’, we can trust nobody, people tell lies, make fool of you etc etc.

From the last 2 weeks, every night, my daughter’s cheeks were getting wet from the pearls coming out of her eyes. The pearls thickened as the weight of pain in her heart increased day by day at school.

Their teachers are telling them, you guys are doing bad at this and that, you guys are notorious. Classes are being canceled due to some unavoidable reasons, but the blame is on the innocent ones. They are being scared to be sent to lower class if they kept crying.

My daughter was home schooled till now, and it had taken a lot of energy, patience and courage (especially when you are among less than 5-6% people doing this).

Till now, she was not competing against anyone, was not concerned about the future and was involved into things that she loved.

And now in 3 months, my daughter is anxious about her assessments, writing skills, acting skills, speaking skills, and in fact the size of the tiffin.

So what has changed? Is the world really bad?

“We are preparing them for future, the world is very bad” is the answer came from their well wishers who have taken the responsibility of moulding them at yearly cost of a kidney transplant.

And the very next day, at the school entrance, when my daughter refuses to go to school, these well wishers came again and took her back, stating, ‘Your parents will be here, we will just go inside and come back to them in 5 minutes’.

After 30 minutes, no one came, when we asked, they said, ‘she’s fine and has gone upstairs joyfully’

We are looking at each other and crying from inside, thinking what my girl would be feeling. What can she do since her parents, her world ,betrayed her and agreed with the respectful well wishers.

So what is building?

Will my girl trust these guys now? Will she trust me, who could not save her from them? Will she think of standing on her own weak legs?

Can she trust anyone saying, we will send you in 5 minutes?

And they say, ‘the worlds is bad’.

Who is this world? Are not we the world? Are not we teaching our kids to tell lies and somehow move to next?

Am I good enough to say the world is bad?

This is the fundamental difference between animal and human.

Animals always behave the same way, tiger will kill you, snake will bite you, scorpion will sting you and dog will love you. The variation of behaviour does not exist with them.

Whereas we humans, invented language, so that we could hide our feelings, our intentions and our plans. We feed the lamb, tummy full with delicious meal, before killing them so they become our meal.

The eyes cannot hide lies, still the tongue wins the race of trust.

The person who’s being fooled, is ignoring the real feelings and trusting the words, which is nothing but just another stupid invention of humans.

Kids are clean slate, we as parents, teachers, relative fill them with lies, rules, attitudes, personalities and policies. And when they grow up, they get frustrated, since they are unable to find who they are. They are mostly covered under the fake smiles, red lipsticks, fancy deodorants, branded shirts, beautiful gestures, nice lingeries.

Their inside self is crying hard to come out, when they feel that, they call it a bore. And then, they move to next step as those teachers did.

They book movies, do shopping, meet friends and find someone inferior to them, that makes them feel better in the world and since they know, if they don’t become what they have been becoming, they would be thrown out.

If they fart in public, it is embarrassing. If they have a body odour, it is embarrassing. How can girls have hair on their hands, legs and armpits, it is embarrassing. How can a man cry, he is so weak, it is embarrassing.

If they don’t look good, their partner will leave them, if they smell bad, friends will keep distance. if they tell the truth, they would not be able to fit in. If they behave themselves, people around will not like it and all sorts of complexity and guilt we have created.

By this time the damage is done, it is mostly irreversible. The only way to temporarily cure this is, keeping covering yourself with what society demands. Don’t believe on someone’s words, if possible take it in writing, else you will be hurt financially, morally etc. Don’t kill them , but you can kill them mentally. It’s okay to lie to save someone and that’s how everyone is saving someone, in one way or other.

And when they become parents, they say the world is bad. “Of-course, this had to come”
