Swimming With Or Against the Tide - Which One Do You Prefer?
in General Discussions
In our society we have all kinds of people some of whom prefer to accept things as they are but there is another section who display the courage of challenging the current body of thoughts.If look at the history of our civilization,the social reformers always belonged to the second category.They suffered horribly and in some cases even laid down their lives but society reaped the benefits in the later ages.What do you think?

    It's not the strength of the tide rather the strength of the character and conviction which mark out the real heroes from the unreal ones.When Suttee system of burning women after the death of their husbands was there Raja Ram Mohun Roy was the lone voice to abolish this barbaric system and the a large section of society was in favour of its continuance.The tide was too strong yet he persisted swimming against it and didn't get washed off!!!

    Against a tide is always risky... going along) is the bet with it(Swimming with) is the best option.

    As long as the custom is not unjust, cruel and grossly unfair to certain sections of society, we not oppose it. Generally, it is okay to go by social norms and swim with the tide. But in situations that call for revolt, we must fight against the tide. One example is Sati system that Raja Ram Mohan Roy fought heroically. We must rise against dowry system, child labor, child marriage and all the practices that are unjust. The question is not of swimming with or against the tide. This is of supporting the right and opposing wrong on basis of norms of justice and equity and fairness to all.
