Future of our future!!
Every journey begins
with lots of dreams, expectations and with a chance to start, to choose a road
and start the journey. Most interesting part of a journey is the surprise the
unexpected turns and twists in the road, we can prepare for something but can
end up having completely different experience. To discover ourselves we all
embarks on a journey knowingly or unknowingly which is living a full life, with
lots of hope, surprises, choices, and unexpected turns and twist. Our parents
can prepare for our journey ahead can protect us or guide us but journey should
is ours to have. But some people never get the chance to have a full life with
potential outcomes because without their full concern or even knowledge someone
work as hand of god and decide the full road ahead, I am talking about child marriage,
where a little girl and boy or a little girl with a full grown man bound
together for rest of their lives by society or their parents, which kills the
natural potential of someone’s life in the very beginning.
A child’s mind is full of promise and wonder, a
child should learn play and have a healthy and normal childhood to be a full
grown human or a good human who will give something to the society and have a
great journey, but when a little girl get married in the age of innocence they
just don’t lose their childhood but their innocence their life and even a
chance to dream. Why look in the past and justify as a tradition this crime
against humanity? Where I live, so many times I witnessed the teenage girls getting
married without completing their education, without having a choice, many of
them don’t want to do that but some of them don’t mind, but what can a immature
mind can understand about the huge decision like marriage? It is not a small
matter it is a life changing decision which only an adult person with life
experience and knowledge can take about their own life in a proper time. But those
who argue pathetically still supporting this says, it’s the decision of the parents not the
child’s to do what with the life or what not. Why we have parents, a child
needs parents to live to protected by them they should act as guides and supporters
and protectors not as dictators, society should not act as god and decide how a
person will grow up to be, a child should be treated as a future citizen of a
democratic free country and should have a full life ahead with freedom and
dignity.
Marriage is a sacred
relation between two people should be bounded by love, respect and trust, not
by society money or power, a child can never understand the true meaning of
marriage and child should not even know about them in that age, it is traumatizing
and can affect them psychologically forever and they can never be the person
they were born to be in this world.
Children are the future
of this worlds, they are not commodities or personal properties of anyone, they
should be nurtured, loved, guided to the right direction, they should learn and
have a full imaginative childhood secure home to be a full grown healthy
person. We all know what is right, but still we are witnessing crime against
humanity every day, witnessing our future being corrupted by social norms and
in the name of tradition. Children are the future, they should have a future of
their own they should have their own journey on their own terms, may be guided
by their elders but not dictated by anyone.
