Slaves of (Biased) norms !!!

Expression of anger is prohibited as per Brahminism !!
Is it not anger within, that is dangerous ? Yes. But, once the feeling gets
generated, is it not pertinent that u express the same and keep your slate
of mind, clean of dusts of feelings and sentiments. I was once saying that
Buddhism is yin to the brahminism yang - Brahminism is more Buddhism than
Hinduism. But this culture of not allowing free expression of feelings is
inhuman. Ain't it ??
In a way, these people are just slaves of norms and circumstances. They get
dictated easily and end up with low self esteem, the effects of which are
more dangerous than a war. Some even opine that norms are laid out by
persons of low self esteem only & a person of high self esteem will care a
hoot about these bozo norms !!! It sort of ends in a chicken and egg story,
in itself. Is it because of norms that one ends up with inferiority complex
or because of low self esteem that one phrases norms of dignity / high
esteem ??
Well, feelings / emotions / complexes occur in self attached humans. For
them to maintain a clean mind, it is pertinent that it is cleansed on a
regular basis.
For people above these silly things, who are not attached to something,
well, there is no problem, at all – because the root cause itself is not
going to be there – the feelings / complexes / emotions !!!
There are people who try to make u self attached by asking “Ain’t u
ashamed?” , “Don’t u have any sense?”… Beware – not of such guys – but of
such statements, which make u an egotist, low self esteemed bozo in the end.
For some persons, the first impression is what it is – both for self and
others. He will not change nor will allow others to – because change is a
symptom of the weak. Look at the bias – if u r wrong in the beginning, u got
to be so till the end !!!
Other biases : Valour – violence, yelling… weakness – patience… & other bozo
norms !!
Any comments ??
