We don't dress our women!

Just the other day, I was watching a Youtube clip by the world's most famous atheist, Professor Richard Dawkins called 'The God Delusion'.

I was particularly fascinated by one scene in this man's crusade to convince his audience that the institution of religious actually brings more disharmony to mankind. In that scene, Dawkins was interviewing an American secular Jewish man who got his divine calling and had embraced an ultra-conservative form of Islam. He was residing in Gaza. Upon being the state of affairs of world today, he went ballistic. He blamed the evil of the world on the Western civilization. 

"You dress your women like whores and send them to the streets, you expect the world to be a better place!" To which, Dawkins coolly told him, "We don't dress them, they dress themselves!"
I think that statement says a lot of things. You set a certain set of rules for people and say that some are more than equal than others and expect people to follow them forever and ever till the end of time. Unfortunately, suppression and repression has a threshold. After a certain point, it loses its elasticity and reaches a point of no-return!

Frustrations will be aplenty but can violence be justified
or can this primal reflex ever be leashed? (S'pore, 8/12/13)

Social experiments in animals have shown them reacting violently when one is given preferential feeding over the other. Recent outpour of emotions over the demise of a fellow worker in unrelated bus accident is also testimony of a group of unhappy workers who felt short changed in the flow of development and the sea of economic prosperity. It is not enough to tell them this is what you deserve as Man, being Man, will always strive to be at higher place and is forever searching for that freedom, happiness, liberty, truth, nirvana, moksha, whatever you call it....
