In Hiding:

The latest we have in our society is the movement of activists; they are putting up a fight for butterflies, insect eggs and basically anything that makes them the heroes of humanity. We as a society are giving everything else the right to live, and in doing so, we are doing a lot of killing of who we are. When we campaign for the survival of an insect, we do great, but have we stopped to think that if the same insect is such a delicacy, we all do whatever it takes to enjoy it? This is the plague that has crippled our society, we want to stand for the rights of others, until standing for them is inconveniencing our pleasure and we want to fight for our pleasure but fail to look at the existence of our children in the future.

For long we have had the ruling father and his subordinate family, he stands at the peak of the family hands in the waist being the provider. He not only provides for the education( if he does at all) of the children but also the fear upon which the family feeds in his presence, he is like a fear god, trying to keep his worshipers alive in the desert where they thirst for leadership, love and association. There are other cases where the father has taken the place of a socialist at the expenses of the needs of the whole family. He stands at the beer place commanding respect among his peers, laughing ever so heartily in a way that his entire family has not even imagined possible.

We have become so outward minded that we have left the humans behind. We have stretched our hands so long to help women and men stop the domestic abuse, we have talk shows over this and yet the more we talk about it in the way that we do, the more we ravage marriages. The activist for the freedom of women in marriage often speaks from outside the marriage themselves. They give counsel where they failed or were failed or both and that is not proper. The movement that seeks to have women abort as and when they want and their opponents that stand against that choice are both practicing a kindness that will rarely affect them but the victims of their debate. When we try to solve the problems of the whole world, a thousand people at a time, we make a mistake because in each of those people is an entire world waiting to be redeemed and the hero of that world is the life that embodies it.

We are each gifted with a world around us, we may feel powerful enough to reach far and save the day but do we know the inhabitants of that day well enough to assume that the solutions we are providing are going to give birth to solutions, when we try to win the hearts of the world, have we won our own hearts, let alone those of the few that look to us, when we are providing a solution to an institution like marriage, do we understand the pillars upon which it stands and most importantly, can we translate our decisions through time? Our job is not a simple one, we tread on delicate ground daily, and some may want us to believe that as humans we have a standard above all, but that is not true, because even the highest standard is given through the lens of culture, history and the future.

We may hide from the future today, but our children will not, they will live in it. If we are to fight, we need to fight on two fronts, the individual front and that which holds all as one. But even then, we need to focus more on the individual front, that way we are guaranteed to touch more and to provide solutions that are going to translate into more solutions.
