The Chance for Life
It is a privilege to be carefully listened and understood by people you are talking to. In fact, I was listened and I was able to hear my self. I realized there are many learned thoughts that I speak and only one, the base-truly me. I recognize the real impulse of my life .My life is not just a chain to history and future, but actually a potential presence .I am not just born to be a wife and mother, and if possible educated –confident, but I am also my ideas, my thoughts, my inspiration, my own motivation, game and realization.
There is nowhere on earth two persons with the same fingerprints. So, we all have a chance to be authentic, which means alive. Beautiful! But do we have choices? Do we have the tools to learn those choices? Can we immerse our selves in diversity so we can find our own purity?
It seems hard! We don’t have a choice of family! We don’t have a choice of country where we are going to be born! We don’t have a choice of our certain experiences caused by someone’s evilness .We don’t have an obvious choice of happiness or sadness but to be good or bad! Do we have a choice to look?Do we have a choice to critically look?
In today’s society instead of Sun’s arrays we have projector’s-camera’s way and not ways! We are surrounded with magazines of beauty, we are attacked with TV shows, movies which portrays the glory of a man and a woman as their great followers. With huge colors of media we don’t see and feel our own. We are alienating ourselves from others because of the disappointing with our failing to keep up with images of the media. We can easily make our surrounding with people according to the look of things and live randomness. Being sure that we know the nature of appearances we live deadly comfort and ideals. We don’t like to be labeled, or the worst is we don’t know we are, but we do the same. We don’t grow but allow the dictators of the world to play with their own visions. Indeed, on that way we kill a chance.
However, the neutral zone of our growth is education. With this most important tool we can learn and see the different aspects of our position and the world in overall. There we can strip away the layers of society’s imaginary lives, and be in peace with others as well.
Unfortunately ,As Bell Hooks said :”Education has become subcultural discourse available only to well educated elite”(Patriarchy). The most essential tool ,the education is a matter sacrifice. If we really want the education we have to strive and barely live outside of college. Not many can overcome that tension or not many have learned the priorities of life. There the gender roles appear as well .The males will be more supported than woman to get to college. Because the man is the one who act and woman appear( Berger).But again ,we are all different.Nobody wants to play a role .It is against the nature. No man’s or woman’s role is a matter but a person as a whole. So what is left to us ,which tool?It is a sense of will!
In order to fight for the natural course we have to use our natural weapons. The strongest one is willingness of people. It is our choice if we want to live a chance. We have to decide if we want to live monotony life, with expected roles. No body can decide for us if we want to be a lake, passive water or a river that beats all the obstacles of life and understands the different creations of nature.We have to know that everything we see has its other side. Every life is maze and full of obstacles.We have to understand and know that, because every maze has its exit to the idea we have,to our personality.We are much bigger than any problem.
