Silence in Oppression is Slow Death: On the Need for Openness and Avenues for Counselling

People suffer in silence, for society has created 'boxes' and typologies to neatly place everyone in their appropriate storage as soon as something happens to anyone.

'Taboos' are covert tools of censorship that muffle and mute everyone into a state of self-deception and pretend-amnesia. We supress into the deepest part of our minds the unpleasantness that life experiences hand to us and unknowingly these later manifest in other ways that cause worse damage than that which we were fleeing from.

It is disheartening that for fear of being ostracised, people are silent on issues like rape, marital abuse, sexuality and other taboo topics with individuals preferring to silently carry 'their' burden.

But in actual fact it is a 'burden' that is proving to be a collective one. For the scars are what usually lead to much of the unsavoury behaviour we see springing out of nowhere.

So no one should be left alone to suffer these psychological scars and we must necessarily start to inculcate a culture of openness and receptivity; of being non-judgemental - to enable victims gain the ability to confidently share their problems in an attempt to relieving the burden and suffering of isolation.

Counselling is one area that needs to be given attention in order to preserve and increase the overall well-being of society.

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness  Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
