1. 'WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 PAKISTANI TERRORISTS THAN WITH ONE SINGLE INDIAN SOLDIER!'
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in City Center Srinagar, Kashmir. You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement. However, we are a society which holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty. After all, it is only a sign.
You may say, “What kind of business would dare to post such a sign?”
Answer:
A funeral coffin maker!
Now, who said Kashmiries have no sense of humor?
2. “YOU’RE STILL A VIRGIN.”
( A text by a friend)
I am a girl who has been through child sexual abuse for a period of 4–5 years (aged 7–12 yrs) Though it has been nearly 6 years that it has all ended, the scars of the incident still show up at times.
I shared about my past with him (on text) today.He understood the whole scenario. I nearly broke down telling this to him. Then I said “I am not a virgin”.
To this he replied-
“If you’ve not had sex by choice yet, you’re still a virgin”
Don't know why, but living in a society where virginity is one of the defining characters of a woman, I felt really good to know that such pure thoughts exist somewhere within our society.
3. A man married a beautiful girl. He loved her very much.
One day she developed a skin disease. Slowly she started to lose her beauty. It so happened that one day her husband left for a tour.
While returning he met with an accident and lost his eyesight. However their married life continued as usual. But as days passed she lost her beauty gradually.
Blind husband did not know this and there was not any difference in their married life.
He continued to love her and she also loved him very much. One day she died. Her death brought him great sorrow.
He finished all her last rites and wanted to leave that town. A man from behind called and said, now how will you be able to walk all alone? All these days your wife used to help you. He replied, I am not blind.
I was acting, because if she knew l could see her ugliness it would have pained her more than her disease. So I pretended to be blind.
She was a very good wife. I only wanted to keep her happy.
Moral: Some times it is good for us to act blind and ignore one another's short comings, in order to be happy. No matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth. That's the spirit of FORGIVENESS.
May God grant us all the spirit of forgiveness, unity and togetherness.
