PETA & Nudity

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an animal rights organization which keeps demonstrating its protest against the treatment meted out to animals. It is good that someone has decided to stand for the animals who have to suffer at the hands of us (humans).

Though they are doing good work at making people realize that animals also need to being taken care of and look after. They way they make their protest sometime amuses me. There were so many instance when I had seen pictures in newspapers of PETA activists going nude while they protest against the unethical treatment to animals. I can understand their protest, but fail to understand them going nude in more than one instance.

Why does anyone has to go nude when they are protesting? Do they think people wont take notice of such protest unless they show some skin. I appreciate the work that they are doing, but the nudity that comes along turns me off. Come on, you guys are dealing with such a delicate issue, how can one let things go this way as if they are part of promoting a product through commercial gimmicks.

There are ways where one can really make people take notice of the highlighted issues. I believe the best example would be Mahatma Gandhi who happened to toppled the British rule with non-violence and his stayagraha movement. I guess the PETA should learn from this man on how to make people aware of the issues. Showing skin would only attract people who are merely interested in seeing it. This would do no good to the cause. Its time that they get their act together or else people who are really interested in the cause would get disillusioned with it.

Being the Nice Guy

“Nice Guys Finish Last”

I always used to wonder what this quote meant. Never really understood why a nice guy should finish last. After all being nice is not that too bad. Now that I am trying to find my way in the real world, I can understand why it is said so.

Nice guys are people who come across as mannered and helpful individuals. They are ready to help you out if you are in trouble. There mannerism, etiquettes and moral values could leave one amazed. It is really hard to find someone of this rare species to exist in this world.

The problem is everyone loves having them around as they know they are loyal and trustworthy individuals. When it comes passing the buck (like you want that a task that needs to be done, but you are in no mood to do it), these Nice guys appear as angels to help you out. It is a kind of irony that we as individuals tend to "use" them for their helping nature. No wonder that our ego gets boosted when we successfully delegate our work done from others. We tend to use them at the beck of our call. What makes me wonder is why do these nice guys take all this into their stride? Why don't they hit back and get the record straight.

Over the years, I have realized that these guys are "sensitive". They also happen to be of shy and reserved nature. Their biggest problem is not been able to say no to others when they want to say no. Also they are reluctant to express themselves fully as they might fear being ridiculed by others. One could see the innocence in them which seemed lost as we grow up from a child to a man. They also find it hard to deal with the real world which gets hard on them. They also have a hard time in getting girls as most of them go after guys who are macho and bad.

In today's world one cannot really afford to be a nice guy. There are people waiting to move up the ladder by stamping on such people who do all the work. The nice guy need to make sure that he learns to say no (time is a good teacher, which makes us do things sometimes we don't on our own). The existence of the nice guy ceases to exist in the real world as it gets competitive and mean.

The sooner they learn about this, things will get better for them.

Dedicated to Mothers around the world

Ever wondered that there is someone who takes care of you, makes sure you have everything what you need when you leave the house and makes you eat your breakfast even when you are getting late.

Yes, you are right I am talking about your Mother. One who does all the work while her work always goes unnoticed. We are so busy in living our lives that we tend to forget the force behind us that makes our life easier.

I often wondered what makes them to work so selflessly and drives them to do it all their life. Donning the role of a wife, mother and a working women. She takes care of everything, but at the end of the day what makes her sleep so peacefully and get up the next morning and go about doing her work. We as children never thought of what she did and that she did it for us. The cheesy line that we often use is she is supposed to do that. Never do we thank her for the love and support she gives us when we need her.

It all comes to one thing. The emotional attachment that she develops for us when we take shape in her womb. Her eyes are filled with tears of joy when she first holds us when we come out in the world to be loved, nurtured and raise by her. She always forgives us when we accept our mistakes, is there to support us when we need it the most in our trying times. Never makes us feel alone when she is around. She has always been a giver and never expects anything in return.

If there is anything that we need to do is thank her for loving us so much, giving us a good life, teaching us the values of life. Give her a big hug to let her know that we love her and we are there for here. God gifted us with mothers to take care of us. Sometime this mothers too are in the need for love and care.

This blog is dedicated to all the mothers in the world who represents the spirit of undying love for their children.
