An imposed mindset!!

A naive being we all are...
As we enter this wicked world...
Begins our journey on a crooked path...
Frittering our natural composure...
Absorbing and retaining...
All what is taught to us...
And thus, we transform into vulnerables...
Deep-diving into a vast sea of struggles...

All of us arrive in this world with a pure and an immaculate soul. A soul which has nothing but love to offer. Neither any grudges nor any attachments! 

But, the purity of soul turns out to be a transient one! Not having even a slight idea of the credibility of some ostensible notions being narrated and taught to us, we start imbibing and imitating the same!!

And this is where begins the process of imposing a mindset! 

We inherit and subsequently pass on the experiential wisdom of our elder ones. The problem does not lie within the words of wisdom but the inability of the younger generation to question the validity of the same! The inability to question is also a by-product of the imposed mindset! 

Imagine the paradoxical situation when we are taught to be inquisitive and our honest curious queries go unanswered! Some queries are even suppressed under the notion of being inappropriate!

Basically, we are being forced to follow what has been followed blindly since generations in the name of age-old customs and rituals. 

The inheritance of preconceived notions is something which cannot be termed to be entirely inappropriate but, it has certainly marred the rate of catching up with the inevitable changes!

We need to adapt to the changing customs and rituals! But before that, we need to adapt to the idea of a change! 

A human brain loves to follow a specific pattern and it is reluctant towards a change. But, the tremendous rate at which everything is developing demands us to acquire new ways of dealing with the growing issues. There are issues cropping up in every field which need to be paid attention with newer and wider perspectives.

The imposition of prejudiced mindset right from the childhood has been the main cause of the ignorant attitude being pervasive. Instead of being taught what is good and what is bad, the ability to differentiate between good and bad should be instilled within the kids. 

The ignorant attitude has instilled within us a number of vices and undesired qualities like procastination, giving excuses and many more.

The biggest price one pays is the failure to explore the colossal potential that every person possesses. A craving for comfort once ignited, turns into ashes the deepest desire within to succeed. 

We just cannot deny the importance of proper education and guidance of our elder beings. Whatever they do or ask us to do is for our betterment. But, that doesn't mean we should deal with our problems, the same way they did with theirs. This involves dealing with both personal as well as professional problems. 

Let the younger ones learn the survival skills required to sustain in this cruel world the harsh way!
Let them face the heat!
Let them toil for seeking what they desire! 
Let them make mistakes and learn from those! 
Let them fall and stand up on their own!
Let them enjoy the satisfaction of being self-made!

For the imposition of a prejudiced mindset can rob your child of all these experiences and a possible inspiring success story for the rest of the world!!
