The Harsh Reality of Our Society
A society is made up of many people, where different thoughts come together and many stories are created. Everyone has a different story, some stories that make us laugh and some that make us cry, and some stories that make our blood boil. Society narrates many such stories.
There are two types of people in society: the rich and the poor. Rich people do not just have money; they also have power. And poor people have helplessness. Yes, society is also full of people who earn money honestly and make a living Within society, many classes have been created, such as the upper class, middle class, and lower class. The more money a person has, the more powerful they are. Their worth in society is measured accordingly. Their status is determined by how much money they have.

There is helplessness in this society, a helplessness that has been put into the hands of the poor because of the corruption within society. People are not getting good facilities or a good education. I don’t know where people’s taxes are going, after all. Under the rules of this society, some voices have died, while others have been silenced. People have become cruel, and women’s safety has become nothing more than a joke to them. Nothing has changed. Even today, society is in the same condition it was in many years ago. Crimes are still happening, and there is no change.
After all, why are there restrictions only on girls? Why is every rule meant for girls? Don’t go outside after 7 p.m., stay behind a veil, don’t talk to boys, cover yourself, don’t laugh too much, speak respectfully, you are a girl, behave like one, don’t talk too much. There are so many things imposed on girls. And who will teach boys how to behave? There are no restrictions for boys. Boys can comfortably stay outside their homes all night, but if a girl stays outside her home all night, it becomes something scandalous.
There are some women who support patriarchy. I wonder to what extent they have been brainwashed. Being a woman and fighting against another woman for her rights, uff! I once heard a woman say to her young son, when she saw him washing dishes, “This is a woman’s job. Why are you doing it?” Will gender roles now decide which jobs belong to women, and which belong to men?
Many people are living with the hope that they will get justice. So many innocent people are trapped in the dirty swamp of this society. When will change happen? After all, when will everything change?
