There was a gentle breeze as she checked the time of her watch , only to be distracted by a woman approaching her with confidence and a perfume that shook her nasal nerves . She came and asked her which way to go to the supermarket . As she gave her the directions, she grasped the hands of her boyfriend so tightly that he dropped the phone on the ground and locked eyes with this riveting woman who was standing before him. Both the man and woman stood enamored by her, her svelte figure, her confident feminine demeanor and her enigmatic presence on the whole. An entire minute passed by as the lady took as much time describing the direction so that she can finish recording the image of the woman in front of her , even as she was distracted by the sweaty palms of her boyfriend who was equally jittery and disturbed.
The lady left , as the girl and the boy looked at each other even as they tried to hide their sudden tsunami of human lust that shook the shores of their conscience. The effect of the phenom that just left almost rattled the bond they shared between their hearts.
Welcome to the quirky world of Humans where even love has acquired a race and color of it's own.
In line with this blog's foundation , to harness the power of 'word' to give the readers a good whiff of a reading experience, here I am, finding the confidence to write about the world of Homosexual people , the world of the Rainbow Sapiens in the eyes of a man who believes his love life can be more satiated by a woman .
It is surprising and alarming how we react to the concept of beauty and how often, pathetically we misjudge the whirlpool of emotions triggered out of physical appearance to be the sacred emotion of love between hearts. It is normal to be attracted to someone, when they tick the conventional or perhaps accepted parameters of beauty/handsomeness. The right sharpness of the nose,the right fullness lips and the right eyes , the right complexion and the right figure/physique. These days, thanks to the amount of exposure, celebrities are given a run for their money as the common man and woman have access to all products and information to present themselves like super models. But at the end of the day, love between hearts is different from the beauty that catches the eye. Beauty is a limited variety. It is because a majority of us are normal , that we find the gifted ones good looking. But this is not Love. On this premise, read further.
What is the 'the right kind of love' ?
People , however smart or dumb , can understand certain emotions such as hunger , fear . Also , love...lust and the ability to find someone good looking . But one hits turbulence only when they fail to interpret their own natural mental yearnings. In an "ideal" world , we are all raised to embrace the concept of a man to be with a woman , only because of their undefeated ability to consummate their marriage and beget progeny . It is as raw as I can describe. These days , we can be made happy , by anyone or 'anything' , if you get what I mean. But, to show someone how much they love the other person, by using nature's power to create an extension of their own body by copulating and begetting a child is beyond words and can be made possible only when the masculine and feminine energies meet. Well , there is adoption, test tube, surrogacy and what not , but I am talking about the 'standard' route here. The problem arises, when a person's heart misreads the beats and assume the recognition of a physical attraction of another person to be 'love' and digress from this 'standard' route and sail for pleasures with someone of the same gender.
No Judgements - Simply CoExist Effortlessly
Families go through such mental hell fire, when their children 'come out' or when they get to know about it accidentally, the avalanche of quagmires that one goes through , is beyond the grasp of human mind and emotions. I used to wonder, what made these people make the choice they had made, but I couldn't get answers. And I left the urge to investigate further, as one can't decipher how the human brain and heart is wired. It is so unique and so similar , a paradox of it's own. I used to be mentally aghast, confused, but came to terms that at the end of the day, people live and the die the same way and there is no point reading between the lines, when each person's journey is a book of its own and each person is a different author, though their genres may match. While, I have found the moral fiber, to respect a person for their own choices in religion , food and clothing, I am still yet to come to terms when one exaggerates this particular choice of theirs and is too desperate to flaunt it. More precisely, in my personal opinion , if one recognizes themselves to be one of the 'rainbow' brigade, be a sport about it and live your life gracefully without guilt. The need to display it as though it is some kind of rebellious force of nature , is what makes it a taboo and people on either sides of the camp get offended . Let the campfire burn on its own circumference even as the waves come and leave the shore . Exist on your own boundaries. Men who gift a diamond to a woman will never understand the reason or emotion of a man , who sees his love for another man out of the spectrum that is emanating from the same diamond . Some men see the diamond, some see the rainbow. It is ultimately the light of love that determines the vision. It is absolutely normal , as long as choices are not being forced upon vehemently , in a desperate need for existence.
Appeal to Mankind
There is enough for all of us to live as the world is a big place. In this day and age when machines and Robots have started controlling our lives, amidst human presence, the need to preserve the 'human' in ourselves is of paramount importance. While the thought of someone making a choice such as this might be disturbing to near and dear, one should realize one thing . No one forcefully turns gay/lesbian . It is a natural reaction of their mental and physical state of being , and as humans we have to embrace our evolving spirits. In more direct terms , I am stating that there is no gain in evaluating that being a homosexual is a right thing to do or not , just because it has crossed one of the fundamental preferences of the human race. Let people remain in their own shades, and not be too obvious about it. As,we are still grappling to build a world where people from different religions and castes , find it a challenge to live in a single society , let us not further keep diving the human ecosystem due to such kind of deviations which is an outcome of the unstoppable evolving human race. In this month of pride, I am showing my support to those men and women out there, who found love in the rainbow shade with a simple request to people on both sides of the concept of Love - Live and Let Live.
the fact that you wrote about it , making a point that, humans evolve the way they do , and we should be casual and accepting of it, instead of evoking unrest , the way u described in the 1st para . Dude. Never stop writing !
