Understanding Human Instincts: A Day of Reflection

Hey…

I hope all of you are doing well…

Well,
there is nothing notable about today,
because I’m writing this as fever spikes yet again,
and,
my whole body feels like it’s been wringed out like a wet cloth,
to remove excess water…

All in,
I’m spending another day at home,
feeling extremely tired,
incapable of moving,
but,
here I am writing this at 11:25 am,
on a hot day of June,
and its 13th and a Friday…

The most notable thing that happened today was a conversation,
with my mom,
as She sat with me and brought me the morning coffee,
(For which I’m forever grateful…)

This wasn’t the usual conversation,
like how I was feeling,
or,
is there something that I needed,
but,
we were discussing a scenario…

“How,
all of us are hardwired to have the instinct,
when we are supposed to be fed as a kid,
(mother’s milk),
and the science that goes behind it,
and after that,
the conversation shifted to Procreation…

“How it is a natural instinct,”
even when someone is physically disabled or not mentally sane,
they still have a wish,
a yearning to be held,
touched,
caressed,
and their feelings met,
and to portray them in a way that’s appealing to your s/o,
or someone you’re seeing…

And somewhere along the lines the conversation went downhill,
it shifted to how,
when those needs aren’t met,
they’re replaced by violent tendencies,
where we see,
woman/girls being 🍇,
just because they saw someone walking along,
which seemed an easy target…

But,
I interjected,
that all of the focus and blame has been shifted to the wrong gender ;
How,
all of it happens when we tell the female gender to cover themselves up,
from head to toe,
and even after that,
they become victims,
so
we are clearly blaming and correcting the wrong gender,
when a push and an effort is needed to make the change in the mindset of men,
and when that happens,
we can start to see a change in the environment that,
has been corrupted so much.

Cheers 🥂
