People say everything starts with a family.
Everything starts in a family.
Yes, every good and bad things.
Respect and hatred.
Friendship and quarrel.
If no, then tell me-
How a child learned jealousy.
None is born criminal.
They learn it in the family,
They know it in their surroundings.
But how-
How a family carry the legacy of hatred.
Astonished?
No, I am not.
WE SEE IT EVERYWHERE.
It all starts with the member of a family-
Maternal or paternal is not relevant.
It all starts with the bitter experience-
While dealing with,
While talking with,
Irrespective of ethnicity, religion, caste, sex they have.
Even hatred for a stray.
Bitter experience of a person becomes the tradition.
Yes, tradition to hate someone.
Bitter experience then carries from father to son and so on.
A saplings become great banyan tree.
A bad person then started representing a whole community.
A bad person then become definition of a community.
So a judgemental person and a bitter experience.
Hatred is born in a clan.
A chain of hatred.
Now its up to us-
This younger generation.
Either we break this chain
Or lets carry this tradition of hatred.
