Edited by Aparna_BD - 17 years agoI begin..Best of luck to my opponent😊
My previous statement " the tissue certainly does not speak about one's goodness,but it speaks volumes about one's virtues,ones strong adherence to the beliefs,and one's self control ,will power and determination...".I stand by what I said.😊
The Indian culture engrains in us (knowingly or un-knowingly) a holistic (integration of mind, body and spirit) approach to most things in life.Pre-marital sex does not imply disregard for love, affection and respect between individuals and for the elders. And thus my statement "the tissue essentially does not speak about one's goodness".😊
I believe culture and tradition are ever changing. We can learn a great deal from what has been practiced in the past and retain those that have worked well for us but there is also a need to weed out the ones that are not relevant anymore and create new cultures and traditions as we go along. But whether we follow the old traditions or create new ones - so long as we do them for the RIGHT REASONS, we stand to benefit from them .It is not the question of westernization or a mirage of cultural differences and ethics,the question is a focus on the need. The generation today is far more complex , their greater and more strategic ability to think has also been sandwiched by premarital sex.The kind of problems that premarital sex could genetare are more devastating especially in a society like ours. The set that would approve premarital sex see it through a rose tinted glass and not the clear aspects and problems it could cause to both the partners.
Curiosity or people's getting sucked into a vortex of strong emotions culminates in their taking the plunge,and that corroborates my statement that one who has unquestionable self restraint wouldn't take the plunge.One is always in a quandary atleast for a split second, "Should I or shouldn't I" .When there's already a doubt, even if it's for split second, one is in two minds,with one having to hide one's deeds from all and sundry,It does mean that one is not doing something which is 100% right a ka not abiding by one's beliefs… Can one confide it to their parents??..If the answer is no, then it implies that one is not adhering to one's beliefs...One has to speak an avalanche of lies to hide this fact to save one's skin.....
Love is great,but a major part of love is the willingness to love the other for life, even during the times when the "maelstrom of emotions" of love will no longer command prominence and this is precisely what makes marriage so important. Another thing is that the marriage is the institution that offers the sanctity and a valid passport to sex and conception. We can live as we like, but what is life without principles❓. Breaking all rules is easy,but it needs determination to abide by them. PMS in a way connotes that we are very weak in being the master of our mind(the mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master) which is a prime necessity for human growth fully (spiritually and intellectually). Pre marital sex doesn't warrant that the couple would necessarily get married and it plainly connotes that one has succumbed to one's instincts and to the temptation. What makes a human being superior to every other created by God is the fact that we can think ,use our brains to weigh the pros and cons and excercise restraint when needed.
WITH GREAT FREEDOM COMES GREATER RESPONSIBILITY.The onus to make choices lies in our hands,and we must be responsible towards it.Controlling the basic instincts calls for great determination.We need to draw a line somewhere.But the rhetoric question…How far is too far? It is the mindset of the culture and direction which guides the young towards certain beliefs and thinking. The premarital sex is issue that can be debated and it remains uncertain who is right and who is not.Sex is developed & controlled by the hormones that flow in human body. On moral and personal grounds,one may choose to abstain from it.The question is not whether pre marital sex is right ot wrong,but its as to how resolute and stout hearted a human being is..And all this applies to men too😛😛
