WHO CARES ?

WHO CARES?
There are two types of individuals in our society who react in the following ways:
1.”they say, what they say? Ok I will take care”
2. ‘They say, what they say? Let them say”
Basically we are always conscious of what others think about the way we talk or behave. The very foundations of our society are standing on the values systems we choose for ourselves and that include respect for each other. We willingly or unwillingly do not want to hurt anybody’s feelings. We do not speak a spade a spade just because we feel it may hurt someone and our relations with that person might be constrained forever. We try to be politically correct with our friends, relations, collogue and even with our family members.
Such people are very cautious in their personal life also. They do not, at least in public, do or talk what is not acceptable in a civilized society. If someone tells them about what others think about him, particular negative, they promise to be careful in future.
Then there are people who speak their mind out least bothered about the feelings of others. They think it is better to speak in front of rather behind the person concerned. In personal life also they are not bothered about what others think about them. Their stock reply is ‘let them say’.
The ratio of the second category of individuals is on the increase. Have a look around and we find boys and girls dressed up in a way that was not acceptable a few years back. They talk loudly, they are indifferent if not rude to others and family values are no more sacrosanct. They do not vacate seats reserved for ladies or seniors or handicapped. They openly float traffic rules. There is frequent road rage, fights in discotheques. The worst part is they do not what others say.
People of the first category are considered impractical if not stupid.

Universal Language of Love and Hate. Sometimes, I wonder, why humans developed languages or even need them? If we look back, we will realize...
