Decency Demands Syndrome

Decency Demands Syndrome


Most of us enjoy suffering from the need for decency by keeping on practicing decency softly and silently. Decency demands this, decency demands that syndrome!!!


#Touching feet to show in formality even if you do not like that person because decency demands it.

#Taking rubbish from your friends, for fear of losing their friendship because decency demands it.

#Taking no offense against the injustices meted out in the family particularly to daughter in laws, for fear of family unity because decency demands it.

#Standing in a queue when everyone else is breaking it because decency demands it that we follow the rules, if others don’t.

#Abiding by the rules at any cost because decency demands it.

There would be n number of such instances when we do things just because decency demands it.

What motivates us to observe decency?

May be HOPE! There will come a day when all will be okay. There will be no pretensions, no injustices, no partiality. We will live in a perfect world.

Maybe HOPELESSNESS! No amount of protest will work, so why protest at all.

Maybe CONDITIONING! We have been brought up that way to respect others and not to interfere unless asked.

Maybe WEARING A MASK! For our benefit and impressing the onlookers.

Maybe WEAKNESS of not only body but mind also.

 

Yes to a great extent.
