* when theory gives me space for emotions

This is almost a masterpiece for me!!...its very personal mixed with complex ideas…it’s the hardest thing to write about!

This is one of the coolest ideas that struck me. No society accepts love. Even if you think that the French society is all ok with it, then think again. Or better yet, ask the French. I bet if a French girl tells her parents, that she is love with an Indian man and wants to marry him, they will be like “????” and not say “oh wow, you are in love…great”. The other liberal society I can only think of is of the Scandinavian countries. But I have one argument to support why this society does not accept love easily too.

Its simple. Love is the only force which can destroy society. Duh!!

Only love has the capacity to destroy all institutions and status quo. It can crumble hierarchy and structure. It can shatter our roles and status in society. This is the ONLY reason why society hates it.
Love can destroy capitalism. It can destroy caste. It can destroy marriage. It can destroy religion. It can definitely destroy patriarchy. Love is the only alternative. While revolution is a means. Love is an end. I keep thinking about alternatives. I am searching for alternatives to this society. And I have found one. Its called love.
Now for the masses, what is love???
For me, love is a selfless unconditional feeling for others. It requires only one thing. Kill that ego. But people are selfish, people want to prove themselves better and demean others. They have this fake self-pride. Hollow creeps! Thus, people are incapable of loving. Thus there is no revolution, no change, no rebellion with a cause, no one to break status quo, no one to shatter the structure, the hierarchy…
Coz society makes us so egoistic…so group oriented, so material, so power oriented that we don’t even give a shit that there are other people…
Ok this was anger…
Now the theory…..arre the theory is sexy!!
Capitalism
Caste
Religion
Marriage
Patriarchy
These are the facts of the Indian society (even culture…but im being biased, coz I aint against culture)… theory has only been able to find an alternative to one of these..that is capitalism (the rest are waiting for the theorists!!, so you all contribute).
Now I like two alternatives to capitalism…(this is personal!!)
I like Gandhi’s concept of community living
And I love Marx’s concept of communal ownership of property (im reading more on this…)
Now Gandhi and Marx are the same…its just their way of writing and expressing the same idea is different…Remember for both it’s the ‘commu’ which is more important than the ‘capital’… (or people over things)
For both the society they conceived of rested on the idea of love. It was a selfless feeling for others. It was about drowning our self-pride and our flushing our freaking ego…isn’t that amazing!
But then we all are hypocrites…we talk about religion teaching us nice things and being good to others…well, religion has failed to teach society about being good to others (if it was supposed to do that and if it wasn’t …then tell it to go to hell).

Its easy…its about being good to others (for the hedonist - this does make us feel good about ourselves). It’s about putting others before ourselves. And it’s about giving without thinking about receiving, its unconditional!!

Capitalism is one thing which works on the individual, his need, his pride, his achievement, his merit, his ego, his reward, his goal, utility, gratification…
But anyone who lives by these values will be destroyed. Its self-destruction. Capitalism destroys the individual. And love destroys society. That is why society hates love (and not capitalism). Society doesn’t give a shit about individuals. It only cares about itself.

Its funny that if love is so complex and selfless and painful (if I can add)…we still want to be in it...!!!hahahah…f*** society!
