Today I read a radically raw quote of someone
and it forever changed the way I perceive things. it's in tamil language.
Title : Prostitute
“பல பெண்களின் கற்பைக் காத்த அவளும் பாத்தினிதானே?”
— Dharshini Sampath
Translation: She who has guarded the honour of countless women — is she not herself a woman of honour?
someone added a piercing thought to it
" we hurl all kinds of obscene filthy vile words towards the one who sold her body..
but have we ever paused to think about the one who bought it ? what title does he deserve? "
This made me sit down and rethink my entire thought process. as a society, we have long chosen to blame the wrong people. we blamed the wounded, not the one who made the wound. we blamed the powerless who is exploited and never the one who is exploiting.
I think we should all stop to rethink our biases.
