What’s wrong with us?

We’ve been told that “What we believe in is right and the other’s beliefs are wrong. Our religion is perfect while the other religions are corrupted. Those are the rules and orders to follow and they are constant and efficient in all times and all places…” pretty much all the instructions we receive as kids are based on one fact: we are righteous thanks to our truthful religion and the others are corrupted because of their delusions and false beliefs.We are programmed to not question anything because we are undeniably superior and virtuous. We grew up believing that our powerful and enlightening religion is the key to a peaceful and prosper life, yet as adults we get struck by the awful reality; we live in a constant fear, corruption, injustice, violence, and  virtual disaster. Why?

The F*cked up Marriage

Here is a plain and short scenario that you are probably acquainted with: there is a guy, he has a job, maybe a car or a house, he is single but he’s thinking of settling down. And there is a girl, she is pretty, obedient, knows how to cook, maybe has a job, she is single but her surroundings think it’s time for her to settle down. The twist here is that the guy wants someone to satisfy his sexual needs, someone who would wash his clothes, cook and take care of the house and his children. The girl on the other hand wants to be married for the status itself and be normal according to the society’s standards. But who cares about the plot, let’s just skip directly to the denouement part: Male + Female = A freaking Wedding. Yaaay everybody’s happy.

I wished I was a man…but not anymore!

In the patriarchal society, a man always has that little more extra than a woman; more freedom, more rights, more authority, more strength, more of a career success, more money, and even more than one wife (if he chooses to). He also takes credit for everything: if he got married; what a gentlemen!

Listen to your body!

Throughout the first trimester of my pregnancy, the doctor told me that there are virtually three main reasons for why I would feel sick and dizzy sometimes: low sugar level, poor blood circulation or not enough oxygen. These factors are critical for the baby’s development, and at that early stage of pregnancy, my body was like an emergency room; everything should be provided within the briefest delay as the life of a little creature was at stake.

How workout changed my body and my life

Basically we are animals, we are meant to stay connected to nature, move and make physical effort in order to survive. Therefore, being inactive for a long period of time will automatically result in mental illness, dysfunction and weakness in our body. We keep hearing this undeniable and obvious information over and over everywhere; on the radio, the television, the internet… while feeling sick, powerless and helpless. We are the kind of society that embraces everything that is happening to it, if it’s good we flaunt it to impress and consider ourselves lucky, and if it’s bad, we endure it and do absolutely nothing to make it better. We undergo things convinced that there is no need to change and that it's meant to be that way.
